Hey there sweet peeps! I'm up on the Poppystamps blog today with a reminder that you still have time to join us in our December challenge... Anything But a Card. Here's a little peek at my inspiration project.  Stop by to see what I created using this little 3" embroidery hoop!

Tic Tac Toe Second Helpings

As my sweet friend Michele would say, I'm back with "second helpings" for the Tic Tac Toe challenge!  I had created another card with more of those pretty little Pinkfresh Winterberries that fit into their challenge. It actually works for two of the lines ~ diagonally (bottom left to right) and right down the center!

My die cuts are the winterberries and sentiment: Pinkfresh, pine sprigs: Simply Graphic, bow: The Stamp Market and the metallic frame: Pretty Pink Posh. The dry embossed snowflakes are an oldie but a goodie EF by Darice.

That's it from me this evening. 

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

Enjoy the Beauty of the Season!

I'm enjoying the beauty of the season from the inside of my warm and cozy home! It's snowy, windy and cold...brrr! Just a few inches of snow, thanks goodness. A good time to finish up those last minute Christmas cards. This one fits into the Tic Tac Toe challenge. I've used the center vertical line: Frame, Embossing, Winter Foliage.

*EDIT... I'll be entering this at The Paper Players too, thanks to my friend Rosemary's reminder about their deer challenge!

My dry embossing is a panel sent to me by my sweet friend, Greta. Thanks, Greta! I popped a cutie little reindeer into a polaroid frame (both by PPP) then tucked in some winter berries by Pinkfresh. They were stamped, heat embossed, stenciled and die cut. Don't you love it when a set includes all of the possibilities!


Off we go to the gallery. Stay warm, friends!

Just Us Girls #755 ~ Final Challenge of 2024!

Hello and a Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends! We have a new challenge for you at Just Us Girls today and I'm hosting. This is our final challenge of the year. The team is taking the month of December off. We'll be back in January... 2025!

This is also the final challenge for our guest designer, Jenn Borjeson. Thanks so much for joining us this past month, Jenn, it's been a pleasure having you design with us!

Okay, it's stencil week and this is my card!

I started with the pretty Pinkfresh Winter Berry stamps, stencils and dies set. Then I just had to decide what to do with some of those sprigs! I've had this pretty little jingle bell in my stash for a long time. It came from a friend... but I can't remember who. Sorry about that, friend! It did turn out to be the perfect vehicle for those berries and a little pine to boot. I popped everything onto a sweet PTI layered tag set. One cut from gingham and one stenciled. An embossed (SSS) panel added to the layers and it was good to go!

We do hope you'll join us for our finale challenge of the year. Pick out a stencil or two and come play along!
