Merry Monday #30 {Be of Good Cheer}



Welcome to another week at Merry Monday!  The idea behind this challenge is to get a head start on your Christmas cards!  Each week, I choose one Merry Monday Winner who will then be a Guest Designer for a future challenge!  So get out your Christmas supplies and let's get to work! This week we have two amazing Guest Designers, Mikki Sarkisyan and Beth Beard! Welcome ladies! This is also our last challenge with the fabulous Debbie Henderson! Thank you Debbie for being our Featured Designer this month! It was a pleasure having you join us!

This week I decided to ink up my Stitched Stocking Stamp and Punch from last Christmas. I was so sad when Stampin' Up retired this set and punch! I love it. To add a little "Somethin', Somethin'", I punched out some silver glimmer paper for the stocking tops and toes...then added some bling to the center of the middle stocking. My sentiment is current, from the "Sweet Sentiment" set, I cannot tell you how much I love using this set with a flag! The ribbon is some Old Olive Taffeta ribbon I had kickin' around, and the designer paper is also current from the main catalogue called "Be of Good Cheer". The design team have come up with some beautiful samples to inspire you!!! Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs...

Inspired by Stamping Release Sneak Peek {Be My Valentine}


The time has come for another Sneak Peek at Inspired by Stamping!  This month we are all showcasing different stamp sets featuring Valentine Day themes and images.  The set I am playing with today is called "Sweet Sentiments". There are 20 stamps in this set and most of them are lovely sentiments!


Instead of choosing traditional colours for my Valentine creation, I chose to play with the wonderful colours over at the Colour Throwdown!  I just love the soft feel of these pretty colours together!!!



I was also inspired by the challenges over at the Shabby Tea Room and the challenging and really fun sketch over at Just Us Girls!!!


Thank you for visiting my blog! To continue along the Blog Hop Sneak Peek, please visit Susie Moore.
