Winter Love

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!!!

I'm helping Mary get her post up today and she has this fabulous card made with our SNS Winter Love digi.

Hmmm.... I get to even tell you what I love best about her card. Well, that's not easy because I do love the layout, the colors, the papers, and the super cute ribbon! But I also love the way she colored the image! Just one great card!

I have some great news too! The Sweet 'n Sassy store has a Christmas Digi Bundle that you don't want to miss. You say, "I'm done with Christmas cards!" That's okay, buy them now at this wonderful deal and you have them ready for next year.... or for Christmas in July!

Well, I'm so excited about the deal that even though it is late Friday night, I am going ahead and posting this instead of scheduling it for Saturday morning. So my Happy Saturday is now, Happy Friday night!

Enjoy your weekend!

It's Digi Day -- who wants to play???

If you're at all like me, you've been packing in the holiday preparations lately (not to mention too many of the baked goods -- LOL!) and could probably use a little break. So how about taking one with the Digi Divas today? We'll be over at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps group on Papercraft Planet all day today, hosting a digi challenge. These challenges are always SO MUCH FUN, with all of us ladies chatting and sharing our creations. Plus Korin will be offering a free digi to anyone who plays along with the challenge before Monday morning, and another "Early Bird" digi to those who post their challenge creations before 10pm EST tonight. Trust me -- this is a play date worth keeping!! On your way over, please be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps store, where our newest digis -- including "Gone Fishing" by Korin Sutherland (featured on today's card!!) -- are available to purchase. We hope to see you today for some play time over at Papercraft Planet!! :-)

The Cat's Meow

Good morning to all! I hope this post finds you all healthy, happy and getting ready to celebrate this Christmas season. I love this cute digi image called Sleepy Kitty, which was released last week. We have three cats...yes three! They all love to find a basket or box to curl up in. Often times, one of them "helps" me out when I'm making cards. Of course "helping" usually means stepping all over my papers, scattering my various card parts and just generally making a mess of things!

I found this fabulous "kitty" themed paper by Rhonna Farrer at one of my local stores. I loved the colours in this paper! I paired it up with several matching shades of Bazzill cardstock. I also made use of Spellbinders and a Martha Stewart punch on this card. Notice how kitty is curled up in this basket full of yarn. I thought it would be fun to carry these balls of yarn over into the embellishments. These 3 balls are just rough circles cut from cardstock, coated with Glossy Accents and wrapped with embroidery floss. The sentiment is part of the patterned paper matted on a Ribbon Tag from Spellbinders.



The image was printed off on Neenah cardstock and coloured with Copics.

Hop on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy store to pick up some of the great Digi stamps available. There is a great sale on now, so don't miss out!

Hope you all have a wonderful day,

Melanie

Born is the King of Israel!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!  Wasn't it a beautiful weekend?  It was here in Jasper!  You know what they say, when you're in Indiana, if you don't like the weather, JUST WAIT AWHILE!  It changes so often!

My card is using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps images from a set called the SHEPHERD BOY which also includes three sentiments/verses!  GO SEE THAT!  {For details of my card, go to my blog HERE!}

I sometimes wonder if people really put some thought into my cards... besides the green and gray papers implying ground and sky, 'NOEL' is the sentiment, right?  Well, how does the song go?  "Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel!"  So, I thought this card was a wonderful scene for the sentiment "NOEL" to be put at bottom! 

I love how this card turned out!!  I am READY for Christmas!

Have a very blessed day!

Christmas Critters

Happy Saturday all! Can you believe Christmas is less than two weeks away? Eeek! I haven't even got to making Christmas cookies yet. This morning I'll be taking my 3yo DD to ballet then we are heading to my work that sponsors a kids Christmas party. There is a moon bounce, pizza, popcorn, and Santa gives a gift to each child (of course parents helped Santa pick out the perfect gift). We've been doing this every year since DD was born and she looks forward to it now.

Have you been enjoying the new releases and all the fabulous inspiration? I know I have. For my card I colored the image sup with copics and pulled papers from my scrap box. I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT does with these adorable images. Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Mary

New Releases!

It's Thursday, and you know what that means? New digis!!! I don't know about you, but I get so excited about the new images each week!!

This week we have two fun, new images for you, both illustrated by Leah Cornelius. The first is this sweet little penguin called "You Warm My Heart." He certainly is a heart-warmer, isn't he?


The second new digi is this cozy "Sleepy Kitty." Everytime I look at this image, it makes me want to find a warm place to curl up and nap. Oh the luxury of being a cat, especially during these cold, wintery days -- LOL!


We know this is a super busy time of year, but we hope you'll treat yourself to a little break today with a stop at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to snag these fun new images. :-)
