Instyle Stamps Blog Hop!

It's Blog Hop time with Instyle Stamps! If you have been following the hop you should have just left Patti's Blog. If not you can always start from the ISS Blog. Our theme this month was to create a project with our favorite Christmas song in mind. One of my favorite Christmas songs is It's the most wonderful time of the year. I've put a video of the song at the bottom of this post for any to enjoy.


I made a mini book for my sister's kids so that they can cut out pictures of items they want and glue them on the pages. It's like their visual Christmas list. I used the image of Leang and Sei available as a digi at the Instyle Stamp store. All of the patterned paper is from DCWV. I sure hope the kiddies show us what the want for Christmas. :) Make sure to vote for your favorite project at the Instyle Stamps Blog for a chance to win some goodies. Your next stop is Genevieve! I hope you enjoy the hop!

Good Morning everyone, today Crafty Sentiments has a fun color combo for you. It is red and black. I decided to go digital this time and made a holiday e-card using the Snowman Couple available here. I used inkscape to color in my CS image and to add the details like the snow and the sentiments. I could totally print these out on my computer and make them into postcards. Thanks for stopping!

Instyle Stamps Inspiration Challenge

Happy Wednesday everyone! ISS has another challenge for you. We have a gorgeous photo to help you get inspired. We were asked to make a gift for someone unexpected so I made a Christmas gift for my niece's teacher. I decided to recycle and decorate a plastic box and added a lotion and spray set inside. The image I used is called Suzette who is available as a digi. I decorated the front before glueing it to the clear box. The tag hangs from the bow and the sentiment and ornament stamps were a little extra I decided to add at the last minute. To enter your project and check out more creations from the design team be sure to check out the ISS blog! Happy Crafting!

Crafty Sentiments Male Card/Project

I tried to keep my card as simple as possible...since most men don't like girly stuff. :) I used the newly released Mike acrylic stamp and colored him with copics and prisma markers.
