 A quick card to share that I made using Celebrate the Season and some White Superfine Flower Soft.  The snowflakes are from Warm and Wonderful and I added a little bling to the center of each.

CSS Inspiration Blog Hop

It's time for another GinaK CenterStage Spotlight Team Blog Hop!

Each artist was asked to design their project by drawing inspiration from these photos of the AMAZING Christmas Cookie Bouquet the CSS Team sent to Gina's DT Coordinator Jessica Fick:


I love these photos of Jessica's children with the goodies! The cookies look about too cute to eat and I just adored those mittens so much and obviously that is where my inspiration came from:


I used the stamp set Warm and Wonderful from Rupa Shevde for my card. Just love those mittens :o) I know everyone has a lot of share today so will keep my part short :o) Enjoy the hop and it is sure to be FILLED with fabulous inspiration for us all!

Thanks for stopping by :o)

Love Is...


I just adore the warm and cozy looking sweater in the Warm and Wonderful stamp set. For this card I wanted to create a loose fiber like texture to the sweater. After I stamped it, I sponged the sweater with Soft Sky ink, and then went over it with a brillo-like metal fiber inked with Blue Bayou ink to create the loose fiber like look.

I have another special surprise to share..I am part of a great book group over on STV and we recently had a book swap for Christmas. We called it A Tale of Two Hobbies because we are combining two great hobbies we love: stamping/reading! Well, my gift arrived last week and my Secret Sis spoiled me something terrible (which I love!!!) Here is a picture of what she sent...



And take a look at this gorgeous card! Love pink and brown.... :o)

And who was she? Why none other than Tina Gilliland. Thanks so much Tina, you are just the bestest! If you enjoy books and stamping...we would love you to join us over on Stamp TV, you can find a link HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger


I made this for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Velvet Pastels which comes from Nina Brackett. You have got to see these beautiful pink Christmas stockings, SWEET!! I am very much a girly girl and LOVE pink/ivory so this was right up my alley. I used GKD Heavyweight Ivory as my card base and found some Basic Grey paper that I paper pieced the mittens (from Warm and Wonderful) and added some nice pink felt Ric Rac I bought some time ago.

Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Your Warm My Heart


I have enjoyed the newest stamp set from Rupa Shevde Warm and Wonderful. It is perfect for those winter cards that we transition to making after Christmas and for winter themed projects and has just the sweetest sentiment and images. For this card, I paper pieced the scarf and mug with some patterned paper that retired from SU years ago. Paper piecing is a definite favorite technique of mine!

I do hope you are enjoying this time of the year. I love the days as they lead up to Christmas. We have lots of baking, projects to finish and lots of wrapping in the next few days. My goal is to have it all done so we can enjoy time as a family when the kids get out of school for the week before Christmas. It is just the most wonderful time of the year!
I pray you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

CSS Recipe Blog Hop


Several members of the Center Stage Spotlight Team have joined together to share a special Christmas Treat Recipe Blog Hop event with everyone tonight! They have whipped up some treats in their kitchens and their stamp rooms over the past few weeks so we could compile our very first Recipe Book for StampTV!


I am so excited about this Center Stage Alumni Design Team Recipe Blog Hop! I made my favorite...Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars. These bars are perfect with coffee, tea, with a glass of milk, or just a wonderful snack all by itself! I just love it when Starbucks comes out with their red cups around the holidays. I am known to get all giddy with my first one of the season and sad when they end...just something so festive and *happy* with the red cups! Don't ya think?? Anyways, I love to get a Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte and a Cranberry Bliss Bar (they balance each other out, right??) and my mom found this recipe for me years ago, so I was in SWEET heaven!!! I took a little party favor box, altered it with some Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses patterned paper, and added some Red Ric Rac to hold a piece Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar to give as a gift. The little mug is from the new set Warm and Wonderful. I paper pieced using the same paper and colored with Copics.

Here are the Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars by themselves...YUMMO! Now I need some coffee!

You can find the recipe for these delectable bars over on Stamp TV as a free download...more info on that below!

Check out these designer's blogs for the sweet projects they've designed around their treats:


Then, stop by GinaK's blog for a super sweet give-away she has tonight in honor of the hop!

The Recipe Book will be available as a free download PDF on StampTV tonight as well. Look for it on the Freebie Tab link.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
