Holiday Cheer

Hi Everyone,
I've been working on holiday projects lately and I thought you might like to see the tag I just finished. I know, you are thinking.... Christmas??? Now??? Halloween isn't even here yet. Christmas will be here sooner than you think. It always sneaks on me.  And, if you are like me, I usually wait to the last minute to get my Christmas packages wrapped and ready to give.So here is a great idea for a tag to use on one of your gifts and I am making mine early this year and placing them with my Christmas wrapping so at least the tags will be waiting for me. I used the Just Imagine /Kreations holly punch 914, which is the perfect punch to go with the Sizzix leaves I used on this tag. Check out the bottom corners, I used insert C on the punch to get that corner punch look. The penguin and the sentiment are stamps from 2 new sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle. The Pengie is in set 438 and the sentiment is in set 439.

Tag - Accucut die
Holly - Sizzix Die

Stamps - Sparkle N Sprinkle: Penguin in the Playful Pengies set 438, Sentiment in Tis the Season set 439

Meet the Teachers

Hi Stampers,
Art Impressions' challenge this week has a theme of "back to school". Well I don't have kids or grand kids so this theme was definitely a challenge for me (no pun intended). I thought stamp U1552 Party Group, was a perfect stamp to use. Now I took some creative license with this stamp, I cut off the dancing lady in the spaghetti strap gown, too risque' for a school function, and Cliff was holding a package and I changed it to a folder. Can't you see these guys as teachers. What a hoot that would be. LOL

We'd like to see your card entered in the challenge at Art Impressions this week, for a chance to win a $10. gift certificate from Art Impressions.

Hello everyone,
I just received this elephant stamp (U2285) and I wanted to use it right away because this is such a cool stamp. I love elephants and would love to go on a real safari to see these huge animals in their own environment. But in the meantime, I guess I will have to go to the zoo, instead. However since the Cincinnati Zoo is one of the best zoo's in the US, that will be a great adventure all by itself.

OK, here is the card that was created with that elephant stamp as the focal point.

Products used:

Art Impressions Stamps - Elephant U2285, Adventure F2563

Ink - India Ink Black

Spellbinders Dies - Ironworks Accents S5-058

Card stock/Paper - Background -Designer paper, Cream CS

Well that's it for today. Stop back tomorrow for my design for the Art Impressions Challenge for the week.
