Hello stampers! I finally opened my box of new stamps, paper and other fun products and took a short break from Christmas cards for the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge. It was love at first sight when I saw Nature's Sweetness shared during OnStage@Home. I was so happy it was included in the list of items we were able to order early!

O Holy Night
Hello and happy Friday friends! I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving yesterday! We are officially kicking off the Christmas season over at TGIF Challenges with a fun Theme Challenge. What is your favorite Christmas song?
There are so many joyful, beautiful and meaningful Christmas songs I love, but O Holy Night is probably the one I love the most! The story this song tells is beautiful.
The Night Devine bundle is one that I will hang on to forever! This bundle brings the true meaning of Christmas to life in whatever project you create with it. Paired up with the gorgeous O Holy Night DSP, I quickly created a beautiful nativity scene using the Night Devine dies. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight and fussy cut around the beautiful script. A few golden stars were the only embellishments needed.As we jump into the craziness that the holiday season can bring, my hope is that we can all take time to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Happy Stamping!

Make It Merry
Happy Tuesday friends and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge. Aren't these colors beautiful together?
It's still operation Christmas Cards in my craft room, so I inked up the wreath of trees from Wishes All Around. I alternated Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow for the trees and love how it turned out.
Merry Monday and Weekend Recap

Happy Dance
Happy Friday stamping friends! TGIF Challenges has an all new sketch for us to play along with this week. Who doesn't love a good sketch?!?
Today is extra happy Friday because I have the day off, which means more time to stamp! And tomorrow will be even happier because it's OnStage@Home...I've been looking forward to this virtual event all week long!
I'm sure many of you have seen pictures of the OnStage@Home gift box floating around social media. That, along with today's sketch, was the inspiration behind my card. The Curved Occasions roller-skates went along with the fun patterns on the box so well. And the colors are so much fun!

A Harvest of Blessings
It's the end of October, which means pumpkin season is just about over! Did you make it to a pumpkin patch this year? I'm so happy my youngest still wanted to go this year! It's one of my favorite things to do in the fall.
This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge is all about fall favorites! I'm soaking up every last minute of it as our cold weather is officially here, which means snow isn't too far behind!
