Christmas Tree Scraps

If you know me, you know I save scraps 

of all types of patterned paper.

I love this sweet tree created from scraps . . .

it's a great idea of a paper "primitive" type tree.

Enjoy another fun Christmas Countdown idea 

and enjoy your day.  Post a comment here related to any 

Christmas fun you are having to 

be entered into this month's drawing

for {INK}redible Goodies.

Santa Gum

My little Brennan (our 4 year old Grandson) is

in absolute LOVE with GUM! . . .

and not just bubble gum or weird flavored "kid" gum...

"Minty" gum - - - as he calls it...

Soooooo . . . . I had special thoughts of him as

I created this fun gum pack treat.

I saw something similar at a gathering 

I attended a couple of years ago and wished

 I had taken a photo but 

I think my version turned out pretty cute!  

Chalkboard Christmas....

I saw a great piece of Scripture

in a store a few weeks ago

and put it in my "Create" book

so I could make my own.

I love the Chalkboard art and

used My Digital Studio (Stampin' Up!) and a 

great set of free fonts to create this

Scripture Art for my house 

this year at Christmas.

Enjoy your Christmas Holiday Season...

and spread the Word...Christ the Lord was born

as the Greatest Gift ever given.

Hugs!

Sugar Sweet Tree

Hi Y'all . . .  I love posting fun cards 

for our Christmas Countdown!

This sweet card is a delight with the sugary sparkle of the 

Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver embossing powder.

I love the Winter Frost 

Specialty Designer Paper

and the foiling on it...

it makes a perfect accent for tree image

 in the Evergreen Stamp Set

The Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch was used 

for the glimmer paper on each side of the tree

and the Merry Mini "star" punch 

was used for the tree topper and 

Soft Sky Seam Binding created the 

ribbon accent.

Enjoy this quick card creation for your Holiday idea deck ...

The Birth of Christ

The Manger is THE Moment where Christmas began!

I love this sweet card - and while it was created 

with a retired stamp - - -

the image could easily be changed to 

another manger, angel or Christmas stamp.

Stamping the image first, then blending color
in with blender pens and
Classic Ink adds life to the stamped image.
The Crumb Cake Cardstock base
and the double mat under the image
created from Cherry Cobbler and
Gumball Green Cardstock are great accents.
The seam binding ribbon and stamped sentiment
add the finishing touches for this great card.

Enjoy another 2013 Christmas Countdown Card
for your Holiday idea deck.

Merry Winter

With the anticipation of snowfall this weekend, I thought of

this sweet card and how my grandkids LOVE

snowfall and making snowballs and snowmen!

This easy to stamp card features: 

Merry Winter Stamp Set,  Cardstocks: Cherry Cobbler 

and Crumb Cake , Markers: Gumball Green, Crumb Cake,

Linen Thread, Dazzing Diamonds and 

Scallop Polka Dot Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler,  sentiment 

stamped on Whisper White and  punched with the Tag Punch (retired).

Merry Trees

I love the cherry feeling of this sweet card!

Created with an Old Olive and Real Red color

combination on Whisper White...this simple 

Christmas Card comes to life!

Adding the ribbon, button with twine, 

and punched heart border accents 

adds some great dazzle!

Enjoy another {INK}redible Christmas Countdown idea!
