Finding Inspiration Friday, Thank you Treat Boxes

 Hi Everyone,

I'm so glad you stopped in today. I wanted to share the details from my recent video on the "thank you" treat boxes I created for my coworkers. I used the Love you Always Treat boxes that are on page 11 in the January-June 2021 Mini catalog. They are such high quality too.

The Flowers for Every Season DSP and Magenta Madness CS makes this treat box so happy! Spring is in the air and I can't wait to treat my coworkers.

The sentiment and label are part of the Simply Succulent Stamp set and Succulent Dies. 

The Love you Always Treat Boxes are the perfect size too. I found some yummy individually wrapped cookies that will be perfect with coffee or tea. The box holds quite a bit too. 

I hope you enjoyed my post today. You can check out my video for instructions on assembly of the box and my supplies. 

Want to celebrate spring? Just register for the March Madness Virtual Stamp camp on March 27th. I have all the details on my earlier blog post. There are many ways to register and even to get your stamp camp packet for FREE! Don't delay, registration deadline is March 15th, just a few days away.

Happy Stampin',

12 Mondays of Christmas Cards Week 8 + Sketch Challenge Winner!

 Hi Everyone,

It's a wonderful Monday with another Christmas Card for my 12 Mondays of cards. I'm also sharing the entries for my recent sketch challenge that I posted. Today you will be seeing three Christmas cards instead of one. Oh Happy Day! Participants used the sketch layout as their inspiration.

Debra created this beautiful card showing the special night of our savior's birth. I really like the twine wrapped around with the star.

Tina created this fantastic card. The embossed background really creates a rich texture. I love the plaid DSP and gems. 

And the Winner is....

Bea created this stunning card! It is all a glitter and just awesome. Bea will get receiving a package of the upcoming Dandy Garden Designer Series paper.

Thanks so much for stopping in today. I hope you enjoyed the holiday cards today. Congratulations to Bea and thanks to Debra and Tina for joining in too.

Finding Inspiration Friday Sketch Challenge + Prize Patrol

 Hi Everyone,

What a perfect day to stop in. I was just thinking that it seems like we just finished a sketch challenge, but then I remember that November is a slight bit shorter than other months. I have a perfect challenge for you today. 

I think this sketch challenge that was created by fellow demonstrator, Brian King is so awesome. Talk about a focal point. Your eyes are drawn right to the circle. Here is a card that I created for a Simple yet Stunning Sunday. It fits this sketch well. 

The winner of this sketch challenge will win a brand new package of the Dandy Garden 6'x6' Designer Series Paper. This is coming in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog in January. 

Here are the details:

• Create your card inspired by the sketch challenge layout.
• Send, upload, drop off your card by Sunday, November 29th.
• Remember there is no particular theme or color requirements. It's all about the layout. 
• The winner will be announced on Monday, November 30th on my Monday blog post. 

Here is a preview of the Dandy Garden Designer Series paper. It has such a wonderful color scheme!

I hope you are inspired to submit your project inspired by the November Sketch Challenge. Remember you could win a package of the Dandy Garden DSP. You can't win if you don't participate. November 29th is the deadline to submit your project.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Stampin',
