Freshly Made Winter Night

Happy Wednesday stamping friends!  It's not very often I post at night, but I actually had time to come home and stamp after work today...HOORAY!!!  My stamping time is slowly starting to increase again and that makes for on happy momma!

 

Given that it's Wednesday, I knew there would be a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and Amy did not disappoint with this one!

 

I kept things very simple with this black and white Christmas beauty.  I love the peaceful feeling the Merry Little Christmas DSP paper gives. It reminds me of snowmobiling on a starlit winter night!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Silver Glimmer, Merry Little Christmas DSP

Ink ~ Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Merry Patterns

Other Supplies ~ Layering Circles, Card Front Builder Thinlits, Silver Natural Trim

 

My husband saw this card and said it nice, but that "it would be better if that doe was a buck!"  HA!  Can you tell it's still hunting season?!?!

 

Wishing you all a good night!

 

Happy Stamping!

White Christmas Blessings ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We are back with another fabulous hop!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...you are sure to love them all!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with your loved ones!  My hubby had to work and my youngest was sick, but we made the best of it and enjoyed our quiet little Thanksgiving. 

In between snuggle with my little man and decorating for Christmas, I was able to sneak in a little stamping time, which is just what this momma needed. Stressing and worrying about your kiddos when they are sick is no fun :(  So I was happy to retreat to my stamp room while he napped.  (And for those who know Owen, the kid NEVER stops, so napping tells you just how sick he was!)

I was drawn to this pattern in the Merry Music Specialty DSP pack and thought it would be pretty with some white trees up against it.  It reminds me of a drive through the mountains on a cold winter night!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Merry Music Specialty DSP
Ink ~ Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Christmas Pines

Other Supplies ~ Card Front Builder Thinlits, Basic Black Bakers Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

 

Thank you for stopping by today!   I can't wait to see what the rest of the MM girls have for us this hop!

Paper ~ Whisper White, Pool Party

Ink ~ Pool Party
