Deck the halls….

I love this sentiment set from CC Designs by Amy. It came with the Winter kit and so did these two cuties, Emma and Trevor. They are just all the things I love! lol
I just had to start with the close up this time.

Here’s the card… I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers

I used this Merrymint paper from American Crafts. I love this pine needle border punch from Martha S. The postage punch is by Marvy Uchida. The tree punch is a new EK Success punch and comes with a stocking too. The kids were colored with copic sketch markers. Pretty much the same colors I’ve used before and posted for other cards.
I need to get back to “deck the halls” here. I’d rather be stamping or looking at stamping!

Just remembered to check the comments for the paper give away from Nov. 30th!  sorry… Linda Ward,  I have some Memory Box Winter papers for you!!!

A couple close-ups…love this holly die from Quickutz! The jingle bells sentiment is from Stampendous and of course I should mention that the snowman sleigh stamp is from Whipper Snapper and colored with my copic sketch markers. Papers are from Memory Box and Bazzill. Snowman scene border and snowflake punches are Martha Stewart. Stickles glitter glue and Marvy snow marker add to the snowy effect…I hope! I’m really not ready for the real stuff! I wanted to tell you that I punched the die and punches out of white card-stock and colored them with my copic sketch markers…same colors I used on the image.

Monday Guest Designer Spotlight at All That Scraps…

Good morning and I’d like to report, thankfully,  that this is “not” our weather conditions right now!  The cuteness factor of these stamps is making the dial go up on the cuteness scale for sure though!!!!  I am loving these stamps from All That Scraps!!!  This is Trevor, posing for a picture on a snowy day! lol

I know, I love snowmen, but this kid just melts my heart too! I love how he colored up and worked into this scene. The trees are so cool too! The pattern papers are from a Snow collection 6×6 pack from Memory Box…it’s an older pack, so probably not available anymore. When you leave a comment, tell me you’d like some of the sheets and I’ll do a random drawing next Monday. The sentiment is from All That Scraps also. The mittens are an old Emaginations medium size punch with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch from the Aspen border punch. I used the Martha Stewart Snowfall Around the Page border punch to frame the shadow box. The medium size snowflake is from the Aspen corner punch and the large snowflake is the Martha Stewart Alpine punch (I think). There is snow on the trees that I made with the Marvy snow marker…it works really slick…glitter on some and frosted lace stickles on some. I stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with my copic sketch markers…no picture this time but I wrote down the colors for you!

My inspiration for this piece is from Sharon.  Click her name to see her adorable Tilda frame card. Thank You Sharon!!!!!  If you’d like to make a frame card like this there is a tutorial here on the Papertake Weekly Challenge blog.  Here it is the end of November and my month as guest designer for All That Scraps has come to a close!  I’ve really enjoyed this honor and am looking forward to using many more of their wonderful stamps!  Lots of cute still to come!  Happy creating and thanks for coming by to see what I’m up to!
