TSOT430 Red Fox

Happy Saturday, peeps!  It's supposed to be a beautiful day today, finally without gale-force winds blowing us around!  I made a few cards yesterday using the beautiful Toile Tidings DSP, it is really gorgeous and easy to work with!  I started with the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch:

chose a couple of patterns and went to work.  So here we go:

I like that the images in the Nature's Beauty set coordinate nicely with the prints in the DSP; I simply stamped the fox on a piece of Very Vanilla, made a mask with a post-it note, and stamped the trees behind him.  The sentiment is from Cup of Christmas, and just for a bit of contrast, I matted the image in Crumb Cake:

I made a little scallop diecut border of Crumb Cake to accent the red ribbon, add a bit of snowy glitter, and it was done!  I love this layout, and I love these papers!  Thanks for popping in today!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

FMS400 Another Christmas Card

Happy Friday, stampers!  I know I am inundating you with red, green, mint and Christmas, but I just can't help playing with my new goodies and sharing them with you!  Today's card uses this FMS sketch, still celebrating their 400th challenge:

I am using the new Cup of Christmas and Cup of Cheer dies again, with some assorted green and red DSPs, Real Red and Call Me Clover cardstocks:

I stamped a sentiment from the same set and diecut it with a Stitched Rectangle die, then added a swirl from the Christmas Cardinal dies, embellished with a couple of little Real Red epoxy dots from last year's Holiday catalog:

I love this fun set!  Thanks for popping in today!

Today is a bittersweet day; it's the last day I'll be babysitting Cassidy on a regular basis.  She'll be going to a new school next week, and although I'll have her during the summer and on vacation days, I will miss her face in the mornings, getting her on and off the bus, and playing and crafting with her.  I have had her since she was a newborn and I appreciate all the love you've given her through the years!!  Here she is with her latest creation....she created a holder for her brush and comb (she says she wants to be a hairdresser!) and what you can't see are the pretend paper scissors and razor she created...pretty clever!  She was taking this to our minister's house to play with his children...they love to have her "do" their hair!  

Here she is, styling Luke and Lydia's hair:

Then she "posed" them, as if they were having their school pictures taken!!!  It cracks me up how they just go along with her schemes, LOL!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

TSOT421 Cup of Christmas

Hello everyone!  Happy Monday, hope you had a great weekend!  I am still playing with some of my new goodies, and this new set is one I am really excited about!  It's called Cup of Christmas, and it features two different mug stamps that can be used on either side, so you can make the handles face the right or the left!  AND there are matching dies (Cup of Cheer) that come with lots of other sweet little dies as well!  I love this set!  I paired it with this adorable Let It Snow Specialty DSP...oh my goodness, is this stuff amazing!  Glitter, cute designs, you're going to love it too!  SO....here's my card:

I used the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday:

I stamped a mug in Call Me Clover and Real Red, then diecut them and placed them atop a Stitched Rectangle panel.  I added some Pool Party holly and a little red diecut bow, then stamped the sentiment in Pool Party and diecut it with a Stitched Rectangle die as well"

For the horizontal panels, I stamped the little pine bough from Winter Woods in Pool Party and layered it on a white mat:

It's a tad bit busy, but I just love these papers....the colors are so fun for holidays and winter stamping!  Thanks for popping in today!

I stand corrected; Cassidy had a MARIO Brothers party, not Minecraft.  So sorry!  Here's her cake:

Her party was at her karate studio; Master Fisher has games and activities for them to do, and they seemed to like it!  The highlight of the day was that Cassidy broke her first board!  I wish I had been there to see it! 

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
