Festive Trees....FMS664

 

I recently took a holiday card class from On Line Card Classes - so many great instructors and wonderful ideas!  Kristina Werner designed the Holiday Assortment Stamp Set with Concord and 9th that was used throughout the classes.  I used stamps and dies from that set in my card today....and I just happened to have some left over gold snowflakes from all those tags to add to the design!

It's a busy week here as we get ready for the holiday season.  My daughter is hosting Thanksgiving dinner  - and I am bringing three pies.  So if you are reading this on Wednesday please know that I am covered in flour and working away in my kirchen.............

I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches - hope you can sneak in some time to create this week!

                      

Holiday Home....FMS663

 

Such a sweet sketch calls for a sweet image!  I used assorted scraps of paper from my "holiday scraps" and an image from Humble Home.  I've been busy this week making fifty tags for a friend who makes holiday baskets for a local hospital.  Last year we went with a Christmas Tree theme .....this year snowflakes! 25 tags were made from gold metallic paper and silver snowflakes and 25 were made with silver metallic paper and gold snowflakes.  I watched a lot of Netflix while making sure all those little bits were punched out of the snowflakes.  I am still finding shiny bits here and there!  The gold bits on the swirl above the door were added at the last minute when I noticed some gold sparkles still scattered on my desk!

Jen Mitchell did not disappoint me - I always love her square sketches! Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Christmas Crew! FMS662

 

I got this adorable stamp set from Unity this week and just had to use it!  So I studied Jen's sketch carefully and thought well I can just turn the sketch - so I did! 

I loved these happy visitors so much I had to make a few more cards!

Don't hesitate to flip that sketch if you need to!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Celebrate the Holidays.....#TTTC260

I am a total fan of the Chrstmas Labels stamp set with matching dies! A pretty sentiment and beautiful DSP dressed up the front of this card very quickly - handy when making a zillion or two!  The pumpkin decor has been replaced by turkeys in our house except in the craft room where it is full on Christmas! My goal is always to have my cards done by Thanksgiving but ya never know.......

I went across the bottom row for our challenge today!  Hope you join in the fun at Tic Tac Toe!

Not Quite Cocoa Season....FMS661

 

I have officially moved on to winter mode but the weather is not cooperating!  Such a warm fall and no real frost yet!  I am ready for chilly nights, a warm fire, Netflix and hot chocolate! The pups haven't even needed their sweaters yet......soon......

The More Than Autumn stamp set is just that - lots of fall and winter images and sentiments to play with!
