Mojo Merry Christmas

Happy Monday friends!  It is always a happy Monday when I have a chance to stamp in the morning before my day really kicks off and today was one of those days! 
I've been in kind of a creative slump lately, so I turned to Mojo Monday for a little sketch inspiration.  I always love their sketches and need to play along with them more often!
I am still in love with the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 stamp set...it never seems to get put away, so I grabbed it again this morning.
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, 2015-2017 In Color DSP
Ink ~ Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron
Stamp Set ~ Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015
Other Supplies ~ Ornate Tag Topper Punch, Circle Framelits, Watermelon Wonder Lace, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels
 
I'm kind of loving using the In Colors for my Christmas creations this year...fun little way to spice things up!
 
Thanks for dropping by today!
 
Happy Stamping!

Winter Wonderland ~ Monday Montage





Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We are back with, once again, a 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!

It seems crazy to be working on Christmas cards when my air conditioning is still kicking on in the middle of the day, but it's only a couple of months away and will sneak up on us just like it always does!  I'm going to soak up every moment of sunshine and warmth because I know the cold weather will be here any day now!

I absolutely love the Winter Wonderland suite in the Holiday Catalog.  I love the colors of the DSP and the antlers in the stamp set are my FAVORITE! 


I stared out with a very CAS card, using just a little strip of the pretty gold foil DSP that is included in the Winter Wonderland DSP.  Along with the gold Cording Trim, it really dressed this card up.
 
 I layered up a few different patterns of DSP for this card and added a touch of gold again...black and white and gold...so pretty!

This last card just kind of happened on it's own.  I had scraps of the different designs of DSP on my desk and they were all laying on top of each other as they are on this card, so I just went with it!  My messy crafting has paid off again :-)

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Winter Wonderland DSP
Ink ~ Basic Black, Soft Sky, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Stamp Set ~ Wonderland
Other Supplies ~ Gold Thread, Snowflake Elements, Gold Cording Trim
 
Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope to be back a bit more this week with some more fun creations.  With my hubby gone on a week long hunting trip, this momma is going to need to sneak in some craft therapy for sure!
 
Happy Stamping!

Next stop on the hop is Cathy...I can't wait to see what she has for us this week! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on back to the amazing Amy...I just love her style!

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

Happy Stamping!

Wickedly Simple Seasonal Snapshot ~ SSINK Halloween Blog Hop


Hello happy stampers and welcome to our SSINK Halloween Blog Hop!  
As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 3 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Kim at Stamping with Kim. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below. 

My stamping time has been really limited this past week, which makes me super sad, but thanks to the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Project Life Card Collection and coordinating stamp set I was able to make three cute cards in no time flat!

By simply layering a few PL cards, a few stamped images here and there and a few embellishments these cards were DONE!

The cute little square specialty cards that come in the accessory pack were the PERFECT way for a quick and easy card!

I LOVE this FUN bat card that I used for the background of this card.  With an extra little bat stamped on the Happy Halloween card and layered on top of the moon and stars card, this card was done...easy peasy!


Next up on our Hop is the fabulous Leanne!
