Memories of Christmas Past and a Giveaway
Today we have a special post and a fun giveaway to share over on the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog. Each of the DT members is sharing one of their favorite past Christmas creations. It was a bit of a challenge for me to pick out a project so I chose this fun layout page which I shared last year on my blog. You can head over here for more details on this project if you would like. As many of you know, I love creating layout pages and this one features some adorable sentiments from the Scrappy Moms Stamps Picture Perfect stamp set. This layout also has a few of my other favorite elements which includes the color pink, Peachy Keen Stamps, some Trendy Twine and lots of embellishments!
I hope you enjoyed taking another peek at a layout page I created last year. Now head on over to the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog and comment (sharing a favorite DT project or technique) to win a stamp set of your choice. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

Trendy Twine Design Day
Merry Christmas Eve! I am back over on the Trendy Twine blog with a fun and whimsical layout in anticipation of some sweet Christmas pictures tomorrow. Over the past month as I was working on my holiday creations, I stashed away some extra die cuts for this layout.
The gingerbread men were cut from Just Because Cards, the elf from Jolly Holidays, the penguins from Simply Charmed and the snowmen heads from Joys of the Season. I used Peachy Keen Stamps for their adorable faces.
A die from my stash was used for the sentiment tags. All of the sentiments are from the Scrappy Moms Picture Perfect stamp set. The sentiment tags were accented with some pearl stickers.
My layout was embellished with touches of Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. It was the perfect accent for my non-traditional layout.
The snowflakes were created from different punches in my stash. I added a few pink sequins from Annie's Paper Boutique to each of the pages.
Don't forget to stop by the store to check out all of the amazing twine colors, many are still on sale this month. You will also find lots of products for all of your crafting needs. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a Merry Christmas. I hope to see you back here tomorrow as I will be part of a special Christmas Day post along with the rest of the Trendy Twine Design Team.

Craftin Desert Diva's Design Day
Today is my design day over at Craftin Desert Diva's and I have a fun project to share using the newly released Tag It and Get Your Jingle On stamp sets. The Tag It stamp set is so versatile and can be used on just about any project and both sets are perfect for those Holiday crafts. For my project, I created a cute little elf card.
The elf was cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge and stamped with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I popped up the sentiment tag which was created from the newly released Tag It stamp and SVG set. The sentiment is from the Get Your Jingle On stamp set. A small twine bow in Christmas Mint Trendy Twine was the perfect finishing touch for my card.
Here's a closer look at the two stamp sets I used, you can purchase the sets here along with the rest of the November release.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Trendy Twine Design Day
Today is my design day over at Trendy Twine and I have this layout to share which follows the Trendy Twine challenge this month using Watermelon Taffy.
I used four different cartridges to create this winter themed layout. The title was cut from Beyond Birthdays, the mittens from Jolly Holidays, the small scalloped circle from Lacy Labels and the snowflakes from the Christmas solutions cartridge.
My layout was created using a large snowflake which was cut in half and symmetrically placed between the two pages. The smaller snowflakes with bling centers were scattered throughout the two pages.
I used several hand cut flags on my layout. A large flag was used under the title. The title was embellished with Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine by outlining the heart. Some doodling with my white gel pen and a coordinating ribbon bow finished off the title.
The mittens were also embellished with Watermelon Taffy Trendy twine, some brad buttons and snowflake buttons. The looped bow tied the mittens together perfectly.
Some coordinating ribbon with twine bows added a nice finishing touch to the photo mats. Some bling was also added to the center of the twine bow.
This embellishment was created using a scalloped circle with a hand cut flag in coordinating papers and topped with a snowflake.
Stop by the store for your twine needs and there is plenty of time to come link up your creations for the monthly challenge.

Trendy Twine Design Day
Today is our group design day over at Trendy Twine and we are featuring Watermelon Taffy twine. This is a fun and festive twist of pink, lime and white.
I used the Lacy Labels cartridge for the scalloped circle and Jolly Holidays for the mittens. The border on the background of the card was punched from the Diamond Lace EK Success punch. The mittens were inked on the edges and embellished with tiny brad buttons. I braided the twine to create a trim for the mittens. They were then hung from the snowflake with a triple Trendy Twine bow.
Don't forget to link up for our challenge this month and check out the store for 40 amazing twine colors.

Happy Holidays Layout
In honor of Christmas, I have a Happy Holidays layout to share. I used my favorite Christmas cartridge for this layout which is Jolly Holidays.
All of the cuts are from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. I tore some white paper from my scraps and added some Stickles to the edge to create snow for Santa's sleigh.
I added some twine for Santa to hold on to his reindeer and I added some wiggly eyes to the reindeer. I used pop dots for all of the die cuts to add some dimension to the layout.
I had to add some doodling with my white gel pen and a button with some more twine on the title. I'm hoping to add some of my Christmas pictures to this layout. Happy holidays to all my crafty friends!

Noel Layout
Today I have a fun layout that I created with the Jolly Holidays cartridge. This layout was created for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. I used the Wide Eyed Peachy Keen Stamps for the elves faces along with some chalk for the cheeks and a white gel pen for their eyes.
The elf on this cartridge is so cute that I had to cut him out twice. I just flipped the image so they would look symmetrical. The elves are each cut at 8.0 inches.
I used the EK Success Snowflake border punch behind the solid red cardstock to break up the red patterned paper and the red cardstock.
The banner was also cut out twice at 3.5 inches and layered for a dimensional affect.
I used some Martha Stewart on the ends of the banner and Twinery twine for the string of lights each of the elves is holding.
I added some Stickles to the light bulbs and some buttons were glued on the elves suspenders along with some doodling with my white gel pen.
I used pop dots for the elves to give them some dimension. I also added ribbon bows to the photo mats so they look like presents.

Merry Christmas Layout
Today I am sharing this bright and cheery layout that I created with the Jolly Holidays lite cartridge. This is one of my favorite holiday cartridges and I will be using it quite a bit over the next few weeks.
This is a super easy cartridge to use because of the simple layers. I used a patterned paper for the background but added a solid red and some white for snow to break up the busy pattern.
There were only 4 ornaments for the Christmas tree with the cut so I used a couple of different hole punches to add some extra ornaments.
I also used my snowflake punch to add some snowflakes to the layout and to the corners of the photo mats.
I accented my layout with some stickles, my white gel pen and added some twine for the extra touch.
I used the "hide" feature on my Gypsy to hide the elf's face so I could use my Wide Eyed Peachy Keen stamp instead. Isn't he just adorable?
