Pumpkin Spice

Check out this warm and wonderful new set called Pumpkin Spice from The Project Bin! I love fall and the scent and flavor of pumpkin spice, it always seems so comforting and homey to me. The sentiments in this one are unique and lots of fun!
I used some older Close To My Heart designer papers that I had been saving with some Tim Holtz Wildflowers die cuts. This card uses the Mojo Monday sketch #521.

Present Shaker

For the Jingle Belles Tag Challenge this week. I can't get enough tags, I make and send them in batches to my sisters since they have a lot of grandchildren. This elf is from Art Impressions and the present is cut out and attached to an action wobble so it shakes and jiggles. I'm sure we are all guilty of shaking a present or two! These wobbles are so much fun and an easy way to add a little something extra to a project. I bought a big bag of them on ebay a while back and really love them. See second picture for wobble works.

Hello Beautiful

Decided to make a card with the various items on my desk today.
A brushos panel, a daisy stencil that I used copper Nuvo embellishment mousse on, some rhinestones and sequins, and a butterfly set that I got in London (maker unknown). The card base was from my drawer of pre-folded or partially decorated fronts, this one had some gold embossing on the edges. 

Royal Peacock

Today's technique challenge over on Splitcoast was dot art mandalas. I did the technique on the tail feathers with acrylic paints. Royal Peacock stamp by Srampin' Up! embossed in gold, side portion is Victorian Lace (retired) embossed in white with a strip of washi tape.

Blue Christmas

It's not too early to start working on our holiday projects! This adorable Merriest Christmas set from The Project Bin makes it super easy to turn out some sweet winter cards, the die cuts really made this a breeze!
