Good Morning! I thought I'd try something a bit different. I found this cool shadow box at the dollar store. At CHA I did a make and take using a kit from Kelly Panacci

The kit was huge so for this project I used some of the leftover papers and embellishments. The stamps are all Kitchen Sink Stamps. ( 3-Step Butterfly, Vintage Words, Playful Alphabet.

Another Christmas Card This time Using Crafty Secrets

Hi There! While at ChA I met Sandy owner of Crafty Secrets. The samples in her booth were so beautiful!! I was really surprised that some of the samples were made using images from different Images & Journal Notes. For those of you like me that don't know what they are check them out here. Crafty Secrets also have some gorgeous stamp sets! Well Sandy gave me a booklet to take home and play with and this is what I made. This card turned out wonderful and it was so easy just cut out the image and go from there!

If you have seen my work in the past you know I love to make Chocolate Christmas cards. This image was perfect. I have several other cards in the works using images from this book, I will be posting them soon. Thank you Sandy for the wonderful booklet!!! It was really great meeting you:)

SSNOTIME #$& Something Old

Good Morning! Well I fell asleep early last night and totally forgot to post my card for today's challenge. I hope it was worth the wait:) Sharon's challenge this week was to use something old. It could be a stamp, paper, embellishment or anything you use to love and never use anymore.

I pulled out my SU! stamps. Stipple Rose was one of many floral images I totally loved from SU!. I looked over and saw Houndstooth and had to use that as well as French Script. I made this shaving cream background using Pretty In Pink, Mellow Moss, Banana and Chocolate Chip ink. After it dried I stamped French Script using C. Chip ink. The Rose was colored with Prisma Pencils and cut out. You can't really see the houndstooth but it is stamped on the eggplant cardstock.

Check out what old things the other Stamp Simply Designer's love. Julie, Jennifer, Janine

Thanks for stopping by! Dee
