Happy Sunday to you! We had our first snowfall of the year yesterday. It looks so pretty outside with everything covered in white! Especially at night, with the Christmas lights twinkling. Such a wonderful time of year!

The snow inspired me to make an icy card with the beautiful Annabelle's Trousseau Layering Frame Medium Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I could honestly use this set over and over again! It's perfect to use for a card for anytime of  the year!

 
This die set is from the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca. Every single die set she designs is spectacular! You can check out all of her dies HERE!

Hope you have a blessed Sunday!

♥ Simon Says...Splatter it! ♥

Happy Wednesday! And since it's Hump Day that means it's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This weeks challenge is...SPLATTER IT!

And the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Ranger! I used several Ranger products for my card. I started off by stamping the Stone stamp by Tim Holtz on my card base with some Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink. I then sprayed over the image with some MICA Sprays. I then added some Distress Grit Paste and then some Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles Dry Glitter.

 I then stamped the TH Written Sparkle stamp, which was stamped in some Black Soot Distress Ink and added the TH Butterfly 8 image. I finished it off with some May Arts Natural Twine, a pearl and some Pretty Pink Posh Clear Droplets.

♥ Simon Says...Make it Masculine ♥

Hello there! There's a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week, it's all about the Boys! MAKE IT MASCULINE...is our theme!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by none other than Mr. Tim Holtz himself! I chose to make some cute little frames with my boys photos in them. These Mini Framed Panels are so fun and easy to use.

I first adhered some TH Etcetera paper to the panel after I distressed them a bit with some Distress Inks and Paper Distresser Tool. I then distressed the outer frames with various Distress Inks as well using the Mini Round Blending Tool.

I finished up the frames with some Ruler Pieces, Gadget Gears and Quote Chips.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ Simon Says...Bit O' Green ♥

Happy Hump Day! Today starts a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week we want to see a... BIT O"GREEN!  

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Taylored Expressions! I am using the super sweet Little Bits Shamrocks Die Set and some Green Wool Felt on my card. I paired them up with the Lucky 13 Card Stamp and Make A Wish Stamp by Tim Holtz. (The lucky 13 stamp says the word "RED" by the number 13, I omitted it by not inking it up.)    

I finished off the card with some Fresh Mint Sequins, pearls, May Arts Natural Twine, lace trim and some seam binding ribbon. The kraft cardstock is Desert Storm by Neenah.
