Boy on Sled

Playing with some new stamps from Raisin Boat stamps! This set is called Believe in Christmas. The boy and sled are two separate images, I just layered the boy image over the sled with pop-dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

MOJO214 - Christmas Warmth


Good Morning!

Here is my card for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch #214. Had a lot of fun with all the layers in this sketch. I used lots of patterned Paper from the Graphic 45 Christmas Past Collection & sentiment from Gina K Designs - Very Merry Christmas. I used a spellbinders fancy frames die to frame my sentiment. The snowflake punches are from Marvy.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful Sunday! Hugs ~ LJ

Holiday Tag Swap!


Hello~Hello 

This week is going by very fast for me ~ almost the weekend! Hooray! I've been working on these Christmas Tags for Kate's Tags~n-Bags swap. The red tags are retired from Stampin' Up (Love Notes I think?)  This is the first time I have used them for Christmas Tags.....I used stamps from Papertrey Ink (Holiday Button Bits), some retired Stampin! Up DSP, ribbon, and PTI Vintage Holiday Buttons.  I'm entering this for this week's challenge on the Pink Elephant Blog, which is to create a tag!

Below is what the inside of the tag looks like. It's hard to see from this picture, but I made a extra half-inch score-line from the middle (which came scored) on the front of the tag. I did this so that I the tag could be opened more easily, since I needed to punch a hole through the top to add my ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ

MFTWSC44


Hello~Hello

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Haven't posted much lately as I was vacationing in sunny Arizona last week. Wonderful trip (pictures to share later ~ just need to go through them all). 

I'm not totally ready for winter, especially after just warming up in the southwestern sun, but I need to get a head start on some Christmas cards and projects. I came up with this for the latest MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge over on SCS. The stamps I used are from MFT (Pure Innocence Snow Day - so adorable!) I used Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, PTI Vintage Cream and PTI Kraft for my card-stock colors. I usually use PTI White on most of my cards, but I thought I should try some off-white colors for a change. :) I also used lots of patterned paper from the Basic Grey Wassail collection (6X6 pack), MFT Jumbo Scallop Dienamics, Oval & Scalloped Spellbinders, and a couple of SU! Punches with the sentiment, which was stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with copics/prismacolor markers. I also used a silver brad, and some Riding Hood Red SU! Ribbon. The card base is 4.75" square. 

Have a great day ~ Hugs ~ LJ
