Sweet Pea Stamps - Christmas is just around the corner!!

 
 

Hallo,
  Welcome to the Sweet Pea Stamps Christmas is Just Around the Corner Blog Hop! Today our wonderful design team members are featuring a plethora of gorgeous Christmas themed images in both, rubber and digi format, to inspire your Christmas crafting.

  Please visit each of our talented team members' blogs and leave a little love - a comment on every hop post will enter you into a drawing for a $20 gift code to the Sweet Pea Stamps store! As an added bit of fun share the hop on Facebook tagging Sweet Pea Stamps for a chance for a $10 gift code to the Sweet Pea Stamps store! Winners will be chosen around the first of next week.
 
  I also have a bit of a treat for you too - I have a bit of blog candy to give away of my own. I have for one lucky commenter - 2 older Sweet Pea Rubber stamps (I loved them so much I ended up buying them twice :) - a memento ink pad - desert sand, and a large 5 by 7 die cut that I also accidently bought 2 of :) I will count all comments until the 5th of December and then randomly chose a winner (I would go sooner but my kids are home from college over Thanksgiving - and then I work  a couple days right after they leave :) A picture is down below at the end :)

  For my card to day I used an image from artist Heather Valentin called 'Rory's hot cocoa' and it is available both as a digi and a rubber stamp.
I colored her with prismacolor pencils and then cut her out with a Spellbinders die. I edged the main image with a gold metallic pen and then added green dots to the polka dots and the ginderbread mens buttons with a tulip fabric paint pen. Lastly I added some stickles glitter to the ground and for snowflakes in the air too. I layered the main image to some Christmas paper an added some gold corner stickers and a paper bow with some Christmas trim wrapped around it - yippee another Christmas card done!!!!
  Ok be sure to stop by everyone else's blog too for a ton of great inspiration and a chance to win some Sweet Pea 's of your own

Molly

Hallo,
   Well the pooch made sure I got my morning walk - a bit stiff this am after yesterday evening water aerobics session (first time for the summer)....didn't get much sleep last night as our DD is on her way over to Montenegro (eastern Europe) and she texted us when she arrived at each leg of the journey - Paris at 1115 pm and Switzerland at 4 am...should be arriving at her final destination soon - not sure how far from the airport they are staying so.....
  This mornings card features a sweet image from Sweet Pea Stamps called Molly - What a catch by Heather Valentin.
  I colored her with copics and layered her to some fun bright paper that went with her top and hair bows....
  Added an orange ribbon and a little metal fish charm - Isn't she cute!!!
  All for now - need to try and get some yard work done before the rain gets here....and then back to the craft room for the afternoon :)
   Take Care
