Father Time Snowman - The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring a challenge this week "gift ideas/packaging".  I've been working with some of these clear tubes and filling them with sixlets candy for Christmas stockings this year.  They turned out sooo cute.  The tag doubles as an ornament too.  Come join us in our last few challenges for your chance to win some Stamping Boutique digis.  The store closes the 31st of December so if there is something you've been wanting, don't hesitate to pick it up before it's gone.  I'll be at the following challenges:

Hanging the Wreath - Sassy Studio Designs

It's time for another Fabulous Friday Freebie at Paper Craft Planet.  Here is the link if you need it:  http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/sassystudiodesigns/forum/topics/fabulous-freebie-friday-12-14-12.  Hanging the Wreath is only available for 24 hours, so click on over and get yours before she is gone!  You must be a member of Papercraft Planet, which is easy peasey to do.  Sooooo, anticipating our Christmas Photo, shot horizontally (note to self, take a horizontal picture to put in this layout!  LOL!, it would be just like me to take all vertical and have to remake the page!).  I had the greatest time creating this layout!  Bits and pieces of everything.  The trees were so fun to make, I only stuck my sleeve in the paint twice!  Honestly, they look good enough to lick!  Just like sugar cookies.  I've embossed the door, it isn't too clear in the pic, but have you ever tried to create a door?  I so wanted to use different colors, but it just wasn't turning out right so I embossed instead. I've always loved houses with red doors for some reason, I guess it makes me wonder how really colorful the inside of the house is too!  Ooooh, I just love the MS Big punch for the 1/2 snowflake loopy boarder too!  Hope all your holiday creations turn out beautiful this crazy holiday season!!!!  You can see me at the following challenges:

SS Life is Good - The Stamping Boutique

Switching up winter gears a bit.  This cute little sail boat from The Stamping Boutique pleaded with me to be colored.  I got some new crayons you can blend with water and I thought I'd give it a go. They worked great for creating my high seas!  My little bit of summer sunshine on a winter day - yep, this one made me smile!  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Father Time - Christmas Ornament

This week's challenge at The Stamping Boutique is "ornaments"!  I took this challenge literally and got out my soldering stuff and made an ornament out of Father Time!  So totally cute.  If you have your eye on any special TSB images, hurry over before the end of December, because Tracey is closing up shop!  I know right, I was so totally blown away.  It has been so much fun being on her Design team for the past year, and I hope I've inspired you along the way.  Best of Luck to Tracey and we loved your style!  It has been a honor working with you!  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Penquin Ornament - The Stamping Boutique

Thought I'd revisit this digi from The Stamping Boutique - isn't he/she just CUTE CUTE CUTE!  I stepped out of my traditional Christmas color scheme box and used up some existing scraps I've had around.  That seems to be my personal challenge lately, using scraps on each card.  However, my huge pile doesn't seem to be dwindling at all!  Still buggs me!  I made this one just for fun, no design team deadline to meet, just created to make me smile!  I'll be entering the following challenges:
