Freshly Made Christmas Pines

Happy Sunday stampers!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!  This is the first full weekend we have had with no baseball or anything else going on...it's kind of strange!  It was a cold, dreary and rainy day yesterday, so I took advantage of it and got almost all caught up on my house chores.  Just a bit more to do today and I'll be back on track! Which also means I'll have some more time to create today...yay!!!

I promised my stamp club friends that we would do a Christmas in July class next month and the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge gave me just the inspiration I needed to get started on my samples for class!

I am so happy that Christmas Pines carried over again...this is probably one of my favorite stamp sets!  I love all of the detail in the thinlits!  And can I just say again how HAPPY I am to have Mint Macaron back?!?!  Isn't it beautiful with the Copper Foil and Very Vanilla?

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Copper Foil, Velum

Ink ~ Mint Macaron, VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Christmas Pines

Other Supplies ~ Pretty Pines Thinlits, Copper Embossing Powder, Very Vanilla Bakers Twine, Copper Metallic Thread

I have a few new Christmas items coming my way, so you are certain to see a few more Christmas creations over the next couple of weeks.  It's never to early to start, right?

I hope you all have a great day!

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

Happy Stamping!
