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 #747 ~ Thankful

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. It's also a new month and that means we have a new guest designer. Welcome, Kerry Parkinson, we're happy to have you joining us!

This is color week and I'm hosting! I had an old piece of October Afternoon (remember them?) paper in my stash that gave me a pretty color combination to pass along to you. Here's what I've done with it.

Using a PPP die, I cut a stitched banner than adhered it to a rustic cream card base. When reaching for my PPP fall dies, I found the leaf and pumpkin already cut from chartreuse paper! I added one more leaf to the collection then topped things off with WF sentiments. A few little rhinestones completed the picture. 

I love the way this turned out and I love this paper! I hope I've inspired you to join us this week. Thanks for stopping by!
