Season's Greetings

Hi!  Let the shopping cease, it's time to stamp!
I have a card for the challenge over at Merry Monday.
 
 
 
The dp is very old Hobby Lobby and cs is SU! vanilla.  I used an SU! embossing folder for the background and cut out the banners with my MFT fishtail dies.  The sentiment is also from MFT, cut out with a Verve die and popped up with 3M tape.  Snowflakes were die cut out of Vanilla SU! cardstock with MFT dies, popped up with 3M tape with a Swarovski crystal in the center.

Hey, Sassy Pants

I hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving and wishing a beautiful day to everyone around the world.  We ate well around here and so did the dogs - who hung out in the kitchen once the turkey came out.
 
 
 
Today I have a card using the sketch for the Wednesday challenge #99 at MFT.
 
 
I used the Cute-a-tude stamp set from MFT.  The dp is Basic Grey Urban Prairie and cs is DCWV.  The sentiment is stamped on an MFT diecut.  I added some rhinestones for bling and paper-pieced her little dress and colored her with Copics.
 
Thanks for stopping by and if you are participating in Black Friday, be safe and try not to spend ALL your money, unless, of course, it is for stamps!  It's football and stamping for me tomorrow!  Oh, having a TV in my stamp room sure has kept me in here a lot longer!!!

Merry Christmas

Yea!  Almost time for turkey day!  Ours is defrosting in the fridge.  DH has already made the dressing - it's in the freezer with the chocolate pecan pie I got at the bakery.  Can't wait to smell all the goodies as they are being readied for the table!

 
 
I just got home from agility with Geena Bea and fortunately, have a card I made this weekend.  I used last week's sketch from Sketchy Saturday, so I won't be entering it because I am too late :(.  I used a digital Pure Innocence image,  paper-pieced and colored with Copics.  I put Art Institute glitter on her wings and feet and Flower Soft on her headband.  Sentiment is from Verve and stamped with Brilliance Ink.  DP is from my stash - Basic Grey, I think and cs is metallic, though you can't tell from the photo.  The ribbon is also stash and very glittery.
 
I am entering the following challenges:
 
Paper Play Challenges - paper piecing
365 Cards - gold
 
Thanks for stopping by!

This one is for the challenge at Anyone for Anya?  I used a really OLD stamp from the Otis & Milo's Christmas, from CC Designs.
 
DP is Eskimo Kisses from Basic Grey and cs is from DCWV.  I used my oval nesties to cut out and mount the image, which is colored with Copics and Liquid Applique was added to the stocking cuff, hat and dog bed edging.  Sentiment is from Studio G.
