Magical Christmas Cheer ~ #TGIFC292 Theme Challenge

Happy Friday friends!!!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday!  I know gatherings may have looked a bit different for many of us this year, but there is still SO MUCH to be thankful for.  I am thankful for each and every one of you!

As you snack on some Thanksgiving leftovers today, take some time and join us in this weeks TGIF Challenges Theme Challenge.  It's the perfect way to kick off the Christmas season.

I simply can not get enough of the Trimming the Town DSP!  I love the pattern with all of the people celebrating the season...it's simply magical!

I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of Christmas is the Christmas music.  I love to turn it on while we are baking...singing and dancing our way around the kitchen.  That's why I love this cheerful sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set so much!

Merry Monday Montage

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

We had another weekend of triple digit temps...it was so hot!  I love me some summer weather, but there was a brief moment of wishing for snow.  My wish didn't come true, so I created some winter fun right in my craft room.  I loved the adorable images in Warm & Toasty the first time I saw it!  The skating polar bear and happy little reindeer are my favorites, especially paired up with the equally adorable Trimming the Town Designers Series Paper.

I chose the festive pine tree DSP pattern to go with this cheerful iceskating bear.  I can just see him skating on a froze forest lake in the freshly fallen snow.  The sweet sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set seemed so fitting as well...I believe, it's silly, but I believe.  I love it!

How cute is this happy little reindeer?  His sweet face brings a smile to my face!  I love all of the sentiments on this DSP pattern, and the colors are right up my alley.  I love the Misty Moonlight mixed in with the traditional Poppy Parade and Old Olive.  I colored the reindeer in the yummy Cinnamon Cider and gave him a cheerful Poppy Parade bow.  

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pool Party, Old Olive, Whisper White, Trimming the Town DSP

Ink ~ Poppy Parade, VersaMark, Memento, Stampin' Blends:  Pool Party, Old Olive, Cinnamon Cider, Poppy Parade, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink 

Stamp Set ~ Warm & Toasty, Christmas Means More

Other Supplies ~ White Embossing Powder, Snowflake Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes, Woodland Embossing Folder
