CAS on Friday #319 - Anything But a Card

I'm really looking forward to seeing what people come up with for the latest CAS on Friday Challenge.  A clean and simple project but it can't be a card?!

ATSM #502 - Christmas

I had a crafty get-together recently where we each brought a make 'n take.  Of course, I focused on the holidays as the season is nigh plus I could use it for this fortnight's Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #502 Christmas.

I created 3 versions so my crafty friends could see the possibilities of what could be done with the contents of their packets.  There's an easy way to personalize with different colored backgrounds, layers, sentiments, and even critters.

Memory Box Stamptember Collab 2025

Oh my goodness, these penguins from the Simon Says Stamps/Memory Box Stamptember collaboration, Good Cheer, are so darn cute!  I love how they're looking up at you.

I stamped them with Versafine Clair Nocturne even though I was going to be coloring with Copics. I just made sure I didn't touch the Versafine with the alcohol ink and was just fine.  I wouldn't have done that if I were coloring up something more detailed.

For the scarves and cup, I paper-pieced them using leftover Sunny Studio Stamps 6x6 paper.  So cute and cheerful!
