Whee!

It's time for a CC Designs review of the December release and this is also my very last card for the team too.  Without further ado, here is my card using Snow Fun Twila, C.C. Cutters Icicle Border Die, AmyR Freezin' Season sentiments and  C.C. Cutters It's Snowing Die...

I just love this very cute and fun girl!  You can check out more DT inspiration over at the blog here and I'll be back tomorrow with my Doodlelicious Diva post - ttfn!

 

There She Goes Be Merry Blog Hop Challenge!

It's day three of the new November There She Goes release!  Today we are showing the new set by Danielle Lounds called Be Merry.

 

Here is my Trendsetter make...

Not a great photo - just couldn't get it right!  You can't see it very well but this card really sparkles!  There is glitter on the paper and on the snowflakes and text too - it's so pretty in real life!





I'll be back tomorrow with the last day of the sneak peeks!

 

I'm in love with Rodney!

Today we are reviewing the C.C. Designs October release and today we are showcasing the very sweet animal Christmas stamps by Christine.  Here is my DT make using Rodney (great name, uber sweet reindeer!)...

I made a treat holder using First Edition papers finished with a simple red and white ribbon.  Voila!

Check out more sweet Christmas inspiration over at the blog here.  Thanks for visiting and I'll see you later with my Pollycrafts DT post - ttfn!

 

Lili of the Valley sneak peek!

Hi everyone!  Thought I'd show you a sneak peek of the upcoming new Lili of the Valley Christmas release!

So darn cute!  But of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from LOTV!  This sweetie is called Penguin Presents and I matched him up with my Quickutz snowflakes embossing folder and First Edition papers.

There are more sneak peeks over at the Ideas to Inspire blog here so go check them out!

 

Yum...Christmas candy...

It's Tuesday so that means it's inspiration time over for By LoRi Designs team so here is my DT make using cool Penny Peppermint...

This is definitely going to a clever teenager I know!  I used papers from the First Edition Christmas Joy pad and the cool sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment set - the perfect teenage-style font!  I created the little scene with MFT Die-Namics Snow Drifts die and the C.C. Designs Cutters Four Season Fence die.  I used lots of Stickles glitter glue along the snow drifts to make it pop!

And here is a card I've made for my friend's birthday in January - very apt in this cold winter!   I used the beautiful Candy Cane Jane by By LoRi Designs...

I used digi papers from the Echo Park All I Want for Christmas collection the sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment set.  I used a snowflake embossing folder and glitter cardstock on the matting and Martha Stewart snowflake border punch to give it some bling!

You can check out more DT inspiration over at the blog here!  I'm off but I'll be back tomorrow with another All That Scraps December review post!

 

A crisp Winter's day

It's inspiration time over for By LoRi Designs team so here is my DT make using cool Candy Gram Sam...

I've been meaning to do try out that "negative" die cut look with the clouds - it's so easy to do that I wish I did tried this sooner!  I used papers from the First Edition Christmas Joy pad again and the cool sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiment set - love that font!  I love the "crispness" of this card - as long as the sun is out, that's ok with me!

You can check out more DT inspiration over at the blog here!  I'm off but I'll be back tomorrow with another Lil' Inker Designs new release hop!

 

Another gift holder

December preview DT post!)

 
Some of you may remember that I used to be on the By LoRi Designs team- well I'm back on the team!!  I've always loved Lori's cute, cool digis and it's great to be playing with them again!  So, without further ado, here is my DT make using Simon Stockingheimer...

Yep, it's another gift holder but this time is for one of my nephews.  I used the My Favorite things Die-Namics Gift Card Pocket with the Gift Card Greetings and papers from the First Edition Christmas Joy pad.

A blue and sassy Xmas!

Hi everyone!  Have you finished your Xmas shopping now?!  I have - surprisingly so!  But I didn't realise I still have quite a few Xmas cards to make so I'm manically doing them now!  Here's one I made for one of my gorgeous friends...

I love this sassy lady called First Snow by Sassy Studio Designs, but I think she needs to put some trousers on!!  Still, I wished I was young enough to not care standing out in the snow!!  I matched her up with papers from the Christmas Joy paper pad designed by Mindy Terasawa.  I used DCWV glitter cardstock for the snowflakes and lots of Glamour Dust.


Right, off to bed to get up early to wrap up the last of the Xmas pressies!
