Clocks Card 

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to play with this awesome Christmas Cheer Collection by Lori Whitlock with Echo Park!

FAMILY Card

Here's today's FREEBIE!

 Keys Card

 These cards were a breeze to create!
I trimmed down a few pieces of Reflections papers, layered them up with some Reflections Layered Chipboard stickers and adhered them over a card base that was covered with a bit of embossing paste and a few splotches of ink mist.

The Sunday Stamps Challenge #84 sketch came in handy!

Look Who's Turning 50 - Fresh Squeezed Stamps

 Good morning, Merry Christmas!  I'm up on the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog today!  I'd love for you to stop in over there and give me a shout-out!

I was inspired by these two challenges, too..Unscripted Sketches #236 and Sunday Stamps Challenge #65!

I used two awesome Fresh Squeezed Stamps sets, Take a Number and Friendly Folk!  That shiny stuff on my card....those amazing sequins you can find at Pretty Pink Posh!

Head on over to the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog to see who's turning 50!

Santa's Parking Lot - Fresh Squeezed Stamps

Good morning, friends!  Wednesdays are wonderful because I'm up on the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog and get to share some inspiration with you over there!  I'd love for you to stop in over there and say "hey!"  or "ho ho ho!"

I went for a bit of a "wonky" feel for my card today!  After placing the panels and elements down all straight and narrow, it occurred to me that it would be much more fun with some slanting and sliding!  I used the fabulously fun images from the Hello December and On Trend 2013!  

The Sunday Stamps Challenge #64 was a great basic layout to feature these darling Fresh Squeezed Stamps and the fun challenge, Paper Issues: It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas is a great inspiration! 

You can find Fresh Squeezed Stamps over at i {heart} papers along with Hemptique, patterned papers and Versamark!

The city scene and sleigh sign were inked up with Versamark and heat embossed with some sparkly embossing powder for a little tone on tone effect.  The Santa flair image was inked up with black along with the date stamp, while the flair image was circle punched and marked with some glitter pen for more added shine!  Finally, I added some stars, a bit of curly Hemptique twine and some Pretty Pink Posh Classic Christmas Flat Sequins to give a little extra whimsicality to my project!  Oh, and aren't the Heidi Swapp Believe papers amazing with these stamps and embellishments!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage today!  I hope you are inspired to create something a bit "wonky," too!

Stamps:  Hello December, On Trend 2013 (Fresh Squeezed Stamps)

Lift It - The Pink Elephant

Good morning, TPE fans!  This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is "Lift It!"

I adore Julee Tilman's work so much that I wanted to "lift" one of her beautiful cards!  I adore this card...the contrasting white, gray and coral/red along with the embossed panels, die cuts, seam binding and button..and of course, that fabulous Verve!

I used the Cardabilities Sketch 73 and the Sunday Stamps Color Challenge 45 for my "lift it" card, as well!

As you can see, I attempted to include several of the same ingredients on my card...the embossed panels, banners, die cuts, seam binding and buttons...and of course, a little Verve!  Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
