Vintage SantaA friend/customer purchased this set of 6 stamps and she was having a bit of trouble getting Santa to stamp completely. Today I borrowed it and played for a few minutes. This is what developed...
This cool santa is from the set called Vintage Santa. There's a script background, snowflakes, and 3 phrases along with Santa. I stamped him on a piece of white cardstock in Burnt Umber PH ink then, using a color duster, added Raw Sienna PH ink on the edges and a hint of Burnt Umber on the very edges. The solid cardstock is from the Amelia Cardstock package and the cool pattern piece is from the Amelia SWIC collection. I used Amelia ribbon and found this coordinating button. I didn't have any scrappers floss the right color so I used white floss and colored it with the Raw Sienna ink. I used a 1/2" glue dot behind the button to adhere it to the ribbon. I love how it came together. What do you think?? Sunday morning is the drawing time for the 2 dozen Christmas cards. Have you entered yet?

I purchased these 2 oversized clothespins a while back and finally did something with them! Our son and his family went to Disneyland recently and posted these beautiful pics of our granddaughters. I thought, ah ha!! So, I dug out some of our great designer papers and started playing.
Both clothespins were painted to coordinate with the papers chosen. The one on the left is covered using the Sands of Time SWIC and the one on the right is covered with Penelope SWIC. 
I used the stamp set, Always Remember, for the text on both clothespins. Here, on the one above, I stamped the text with Gingerbread VM ink, and used my Extra Jumbo Circle punch to punch it for use. I layered it on a large white flower that I also stamped. I found a button that kind of matched the green in the paper and added the scrappers floss (white floss that I inked with the Gingerbread), and adhered with my 1/2" Glue Dots.  Here I layered the image on a piece of purple cardstock from our Penelope Cardstock package. I stamped the image in Jumbo Java VM ink and added the Penelope Ribbon. The little purple paper posies added a feminine touch in my opinion. What do you think?
