Here is a look at the fun new products I got to play with for my card today....

    

*NEW* Snowflakes Dies (two sizes, complete with LID's signature stitches!)

    

   

and the *NEW* Winter Greetings Sentiment Set

      

      

The perfect supplies for a clean and simple Christmas card. I combined this pretty snowflake paper from the Recollections Blue Christmas 6x6 pad with my favorite Kraft cardstock. The snowflakes are cut from white cardstock, and smothered in glitter! They had to have some sparkle to go with this cute sentiment!

     

     

That's it... keeping it short and sweet today, as I know you have lots of stops to make on the hop! So, I will send you on your way to Mary's Blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I'm back with another fabulous Tuesday Morning Sketch! This week's sketch was designed by our talented Melissa, and I love the "framed" look it has! Check it out...

     

   

And you really must visit the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog to see the amazing samples from my team-mates! They will blow you away!

    

This week we are sponsored by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. They have loads of cute stamps - both clear and digital. Unfortunately, I do not have any of their images, so I decided to give you a peek of another All That Scraps newbie!

    

This is PJ Emma... I've colored her with Copics, cut her out, and popped her up to look as though she is sitting on the ribbon. I used my Scor-Pal to add the scored details in the corners, and all edges were inked with Versamagic Jumbo Java Ink. I finished it off with a few heart shaped brads. Cute, isn't she?

It's day 2 of the All That Scraps December Previews, and today the Design Team is featuring the new Mashi's Muffins, Lil Lad, and Lil Lolita images. You can see lots of eye candy over at the All That Scraps Blog, and be sure to link up for the giveaways while you're there!

       

So, I'm WAAAAY ahead of myself here... I haven't even finished making Chrismas cards, but at least I can cross my hubby's Valentine's Day card off my to do list! :) I used the new Mashi's Muffins "Sweets" and the new AmyR Sentiment set "Love Always" for this clean and simple card. Unfortunately, I look nothing like this hottie! Maybe 10 years ago, but not since having kiddos! I think he will like it anyway...

It's release week at All That Scraps, which means the store will be stocked with new stamps and dies on Thursday, December 6th. Until then, the Design Team will be sharing sneak peeks of the new goodies all week long! You'll want to make sure to check out the All That Scraps Blog, not only for the awesome Design Team projects, but because there will be giveaways! 

     

Here is my clean and simple make using some of the newbies - PJ Trevor, Moon, and Starry Sentiments. Isn't Trevor adorable in his jammies?! I can't help but color these cute stamps to look like my kiddos! I stamped the moon and stars onto yellow polka dot paper, and fussy cut them out. Trevor was also fussy cut and placed as if he's sitting on the moon. I was going to sponge some clouds on the background, but ended up really liking how everything stood out against the white! The border was doodled with a Memento Black Marker, and everything is popped up using foam adhesive.

I was the lucky challenge winner over at the MarkerPOP blog last week, and my prize was a My Favorite Things stamp set of my choice! WooHoo! So, I picked out this cute Picture Perfect Pure Innocence girl, and in true MarkerPOP fashion, it was in my mailbox the next day! Love ordering from them! And, of course, it didn't take me long to get her inky!

             

I love paper-piecing the clothes on these cuties! I used the LilyBee "Buttercup" Tiny Tablet for her shirt here. The rest is colored with Copics. For the sentiment, I used the CC Cutters Ticket Die, cut it in half, and stitched it to the image panel.
