Happy Thursday, peeps! It's been a crazy week with not much stamping time, but I did get a couple minutes to play with an interesting challenge at the Jingle Belles:
Cute huh? I incorporated the FMS sketch as well:
So here we go:
I used a bunch of stuff on this card, new and old! The base is 4 1/4" square, Crumb Cake, and I added layers of Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White and Pacific Point. I used a square and oval Stitched Shape Framelit to cut the layers, then used the tree die from the new Card Front Builder Thinlets (available next month); the snowflake die from Seasonal Layers and the little starry image from the new Carols of Christmas (also available next month):
Isn't that tree pretty in Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper?! And I couldn't resist adding the little fox from Jingle All the Way, as well as a sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin kit:
Last, I stamped the Burlap background stamp on my card front with Versamark ink so it wouldn't be too dark; just a soft image to replicate the fireplace in the inspiration picture! This went together fairly easily, believe it or not!
Cassidy has finally gotten the hang of brushing her own hair and occasionally likes to accessorize her pony tails! This is called a "JoJo" bow....not sure who JoJo is, but her bows certainly pack a punch!
Thanks for visiting today!

Lovely card and the inspiration piece is so unusual. My set comes today...can't wait to play. I know who Jo Jo is! I met her and Skeebo in person at a breakfast buffet in Disney a few years ago with our grandchildren.

Beautiful card, LeAnne! Love those colors together and the scene you created is so quiet & peaceful! Love your take on the inspiration photo! Those pictures of Cassidy are adorable and I love the Jojo bow! Haha! TFS and stay cool today!
Wow so much to love here.....the inspiration photo, the colors, your card....and the JoJo bow! I have that burlap stamp.....should have used it on my background like you did!
You are a stamping genius! You mananged to combine diverse colors and sparkly bits to create the best fusion of inspiration and sketch! I almost used that inspiration photo for my FMS card this week but didn't think I could pull it off. You totally rocked both! Woo hoo!
Lovely card! The sparky tree is just gorgeous! The Leom Lime Twist panel just sers the whole thing off beautifully, especially on the Burlap background. That is some bow! I've never heard of a JoJo bow!
I love the non-traditional colors for this. What a fun card (and oh, that tree!!). Great use of the new background stamp too. Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
Such a pretty card LeAnne; I love the colors! Never heard of this challenge either, so I'm off to check it out!
Wow ... you really managed to rock our inspiration photo ... the tiny fox is such a perfect finishing touch ... so very glad you got inspired with us at Jingle Belles.
What a beautiful card LeAnne! I love the background and the colours! Love that sparkly tree too! So very pretty! That is one BIG bow!!! It's almost as big as Cassidy! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
What a lovely snowy christmas scene!
