Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch #72!  Here's our sketch for this week:

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to fit this beautiful scripture that is my favorite holiday scripture.

This week's sponsor is Deedee's Digis who generously provided this 'Christmas Scriptures' sentiment set.  The set includes six scriptures in this beautiful font, perfect for remembering 'the reason for the season'.

Welcome to Paper Pretties' December Release Blog Hop! 

If you are arriving here from Pam's (The Stamping Addict) blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If you are just joining the fun, be sure to start at the Paper Pretties' blog so you won't miss a single fun hop!

Paper Pretties is releasing seven brand new sets this month.  The set I'm showcasing today is 'Timeless Love' which features this heart image and sentiment combo as well as 3 more heart images in a funky, vintage, tatoo kinda style.  The set contains 8 phrases you can combine to form your own personalized sentiment!

I chose this flourished heart and my favorite closing signature line for a CAS version of Sweet Sunday sketch challenge #95.  Who needs lots of layers with this elegant image and gorgeous DP?

Next stop on the hop is Wendy's (Creations by Wendalyn) blog.  Enjoy!

Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge and Sneak Peek!

Stamps:  Paper Pretties 'Love Birds'.  Cardstock:  Barely Banana, Almost Amethyst, Certainly Celery, Basic Grey 'Sugar Rush', Papertrey white.  Ink:  Memento black, Copics.  Accessories:  Circle Nestabilties, Martha Stewart cherry blossom around the page punches, velvet ribbon, jewel buckle.

Welcome to Paper Pretties Wednesday challenge and day 6 of the December release sneak peeks!

Our challenge for this week is to use a punched shape on your project -- it finally inspired me to break out my very neglected Martha Stewart  'Cherry Blossom' set!

The featured stamp for today is 'Love Birds', the latest fun addition to the Victoria Case line of chicks with attitude like 'Wicked Old Bird' and 'Holiday Polly'.  These sweet birds come with five different sentiments, perfect for any sweetheart occasion.

The sketch is courtesy of Midnight Madness sketch #83 which actually leans more towards the fancy version than my usual CAS!

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge #71!  Here's our sketch for this week:

This week's sketch is sponsored by Praire Fairy Designs who generously donated images for our team, including this sweet 'Tree Fairy'.  She goes perfectly with this vintage DP I couldn't resist buying during the big post-Thanksgiving sales; doesn't it look like she's decorating the flocked tree?

Making a Naughty or Nice List?

 Tiddly Inks digi 'Check My List Twice', MFT sentiment.  Cardstock:  K&Co. 'Let it Snow!', Real Red, GP110 white, Papertrey white.  Accessories:  rectangle and tag Nestabilities, white flocking, felt ribbon, mini comp book, mini gel pen.

I take my cue from Santa -- I'm constantly making lists for Christmas!  Mini notebooks are the perfect size for those spur of the moment gift idea epiphanies or even the more mundane notes like keeping track of gifts you've already purchased.

Isn't this cutie from Tiddly Inks the perfect cover art for your 'naughty or nice lists'?  I added flocking to her suit trim for a little extra touchable fun:

Tiddly Inks challenge #30:  'Christmas Time is Here' is the inspiration for this notable project and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #102 provided the sketch.  Now if I can just get organized enough to use it!

Paper Pretties' December Sneak Peek: Scout's Honor!

 Paper Pretties 'Scout Sophia'.  Cardstock:  Wild Wasabi, My Mind's Eye DP, Papertrey white.  Ink:  Memento black, Copics, Versamark.  Accessories:  white EP, long rectangle Nestabilities, green satin ribbon.

Welcome to the second day of Paper Pretties' sneak peeks for December!  The Pretties DT will be featuring sneak peeks of a new stamp set every day this week, leading up to a grand release blog hop on Friday, December 10th!

Today our featured stamp set is 'Scout Sophia'.  Isn't the latest addition to the Sophia collection an adorable little scout?

I'm still practicing on the hair coloring tutorials featured on the Whimsie Doodles' blog -- the highlights are a bit on on this Sophia, but I think I'm improving?

The sketch is courtesy of Midnight Madness #82, done in extreme CAS style -- I didn't even mat the main image panel!

Be sure to stop by the Paper Pretties blog for more sneak peeks of this cutie and the other seven amazing sets to be released this month!

Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge: Sketch Time!

Welcome to the Wednesday Paper Pretties challenge!  This week we are featuring another awesome sketch by our very own Frances (Stamp Owl's Studio):

Our recent chilly weather with snow on Thanksgiving day put me in the mood to use this adorable 'Thanks Snow Much Sophia'.  Her dress is paper pieced and the snowflakes are accented with bit of sparkle, thanks to my trusty Stardust glitter pen:
