Holiday Collage

I am participating in another craft fair tomorrow at Mundelein High School and decided to try to make another collage to sell.  I found an already cut out matte in my craft closet and though it would be fun to try to "dress it up".  I apologize for the dark picture, I usually take my pictures outside but with all the snow on the deck, that won't happen until spring. What do you think?

Stamps: A Banner Christmas, Snow Day
Inks: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Papers: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Season of Style DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Envelope Punch Board, Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Holiday Collection Die, Star Punch, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Mini-Jingle Bells, Mini-Clothes Pin, SAMJ, Matte/Frame

Techno Stamper Lunchtime Challenge

Happy snowy Monday to everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend, and are ready to take on another fun sketch challenge over at the Techno Stamper Blog!  You can find the sketch below, and you can load your wonderful creation HERE!

And here is my card......the nose was the last thing that I stamped on the snow man.  And won't you know it, I accidentally caught the side of the rubber when I was stamping the nose.  I am too much of a perfectionist!  Moving on........

I found an easy way to attach the sayings when using the thinlit dies is to use the Big Shot Adhesive Sheets.  The adhesive grips pretty firmly and it's easy than trying to use mini-glue dots.  Here's a list of what I used:

Stamps: Snow Day, Gorgeous Grunge
Inks: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Midnight Muse, Pumpkin Pie
Papers: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Season of Style DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Deco Labels Framelits, Stylish Stripes EF, Holiday Collection Die, Small Star Punch, Mini-Jingle Bell, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Adhesive Paper, Dimensionals, Mini-Glue Dots, SAMJ

LNS Challenge

We have a fun 2 week challenge for you over at on the LNS blog!  The challenge is to make a Christmas card, but you have to use non-traditional colors.  Are you up for the challenge?!  We hope so!  When you are done with your challenge card, you can simply load your card HERE.

For my challenge card I used the stamp set, Snow Day, from the current Holiday Catalog.  I inked up the snowman image using Crumb Cake, stamped off on a scrap piece of paper, and then stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White c/s.  Here's a list of what I used and my card:

Stamps: Snow Day, Itty Bitty Background (yes, I know it's retired, but I will always keep this awesome set around for fun background texture!)
Inks: Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Midnight Muse
Papers: Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Chocolate Chip, Season of Style DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
