So for today's hop, I created (hopefully) my last Holiday card for this year!
Here is Holiday Anya... 

This is the perfect paper to paper-piece her dress! 

She looks so fun and festive :)  

My next card is definitely my last holiday card of 2011, hee hee!!! 

This card is for this week's TGF Monday Fun-Day Recipe Challenge - 

you are to use Kraft Cardstock, Twine and a Button(s) on your card/project!!! 

My three favorite go-to things to create a card!!! 

I decided to use my "Keep Cozy" stamp set again 

and came up with this easel card :) 

This just happens to be the card that I taught to my Scrappy friends last Friday night :)
They loved the easel card concept!!! It was so much fun!!!

That's it for me today :)
Happy Hopping!!!

The sets I'm showcasing today is the "Banner Holidays" Stamp Set and

I love the Banner Stamp Sets SO much!!! 
It is such a fancy way to add your sentiments and give your card/project that extra 'something-something' to it :)  

Here's my trio of cards...
I stamped Angel and my Banner sentiments onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink... I did a bit of coloring on my Angels with Copic Markers...

Did some paper piecing :)

and added a touch of sparkle on their halos and wings :)
using my Spica Glitter Pen!

Here are all the stamp sets and dies that I used: 

While creating for this hop I decided to keep myself to using only a small amount of designer papers and cardstock; I knew that I was going to have to do something with my scraps and decided to keep going with another Christmas card using the Trim the Trees Die... a sentiment from the Banner Holiday Stamp Set, some Kraft Cardstock and the Medium Scallop Border Die too :) 

Are you getting in the mood to stamp?  

Be sure to check out Taylor 's 12 Days of A Handmade Christmas Video Series for lots of easy gift ideas. I especially love Day TWO of the series!!! 
I really do hope that I can create a fabulous calendar like Taylor's found HERE!!! 
I'm thinking of creating TWO calendar's, one for each of my boys! LOL!

For today's fun, I'm hopping along with the 

Taylored Expressions October Blast from the Past Blog Hop!!! 

There is a double-theme going on for this month: 

"Trick or Sweet" 

Create a Halloween themed card 

or a sweet treat to celebrate an occasion. 

I decided to play around with both theme's and pulled out my 

"Sweet Celebration" stamp set again and used a scrap of Bella Blvd Too Cute to Spook DP and came up with this card... 

I thought that this lil cuppie would look cute as a ghost cuppie!!! 

and why not give him a yummy candy corn birthday cake to eat :) 

I had so much fun breaking away from the typical birthday color combos 

for a Halloween birthday themed card!!!
