It really seems too soon to start thinking about Christmas... but with all the cute new Christmas stamps coming out, I just can't help myself!

 

       Today, I've made a simple little card with the new Christmas with Ralphie set from C.C. Designs. Ralphie has been colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up on the card. I used a sentiment from the new AmyR Joyful Greetings, and stamped it onto a banner from the C.C. Cutters Banner Tags Dies. The patterned paper is from a 6x6 Recollections pad I found at Michael's last year.

     

    

Ralphie - E79, E57, E35, E34, E31 and E53, E30, E50

Bauble - R39, R39, R27, R24, R22, R20 and C5, C3, C1, C0

       

That's all for today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

    

    

Yesterday was New Release day at Whimsie Doodles, and today I have another new cutie to share with you... Winter Cup. He can be found in the What's New section at the Whimsie Doodles Store.

       

I've colored him up with Copics, fussy cut, and popped him up on the card. The panel behind him is embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder. And even though he has a candy cane in his mug, not marshmallows, I thought this sentiment from AmyR Winter Chuckles was a cute fit. The layout I've used is the current sketch over at Sketch Saturday, I just flip-flopped the placement of the banners.

Before you go, I have a simple little card to share using the new Ugg Leah image. She is so stylish and cute, isn't she!? I've used a sentiment from the AmyR Winter Chuckles set from C.C. Designs. Leah is fussy cut and popped up above the sentiment. This seems to be my go-to layout lately for quick cards... do you have a layout you use over and over again?

It's the first Friday of the month, and that means we have a new challenge for you at the YNS Challenge Blog! Here's a look at this month's sketch and inspiration photo...

     

  

      

I have several of the new digital images all colored up, so I decided to use Magical Meg for my card today... she fits right in with the Halloween Inspiration Photo.

       She is printed onto Hammermill 80# Cover Copy, and colored with Copics. I paired her with some cute paper from the DCWV Spookytime Stack, and added a bit of glitter to the moon and stars. The sentiment is from the Happy Day Sentiments Set.
