Welcome back for another round of creativity with the Monday Montage Crew!
Where DOES the time go??!??
I have caved … it is TIME to start making Christmas cards!! I resisted for as loooong as I could!!
These little trees were made from the Festive Friends Stamp Set. I was making another card with the snowman from that set and the little tree was just looking up at me all sad and unused. To the rescue!!
I stamped the trees in both Lost Lagoon and Shaded Spruce. The tree in the center is stamped on some Pool Party card stock to make it pop a little more.
And of course I had to give a “snowing” effect by flicking some Stampin’ Blends to splatter them around.
The frame was made cutting two of the Textured Notes Dies … one inside the other.
The sentiment panel … I watercolored a little splash of Lost Lagoon onto a scrap of White cardstock and then stamped the image in Shaded Spruce and cut it with another one of the Textured Notes Dies.
Stamps: Festive Friends, Delicate Pines Paper: Basic White, Real Red, Pool Party
Ink: Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce; Stampin’ Blends - Dk. & Lt. Lost Lagoon Accessories: Textured Notes Dies, Festive Friends Dies, White 3/8” Fluffy Trim, Real Red and White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints, Low Profile Sparkle Dots
I am having a hard time deciding on what to do for my Christmas cards this year. I have made two of them up and I like them both … I just need to make a decision and go with it!

Once in a while I get an idea for a card in my head that just pops in there (inspired, of course, by this fun sketch!)!
It didn’t take very long and this card was complete … welcome to this week’s TGIF Challenge!!
You guuuuuyyyss … the new Pop-Up Petals Bundle is sooooooo lovely!! The flowers I used for the focal point on this card are from the stamp set … I only had to “color” the leaves, as the rest of the image is all stamped!!
The new Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder goes so perfectly with this sketch due to the diamond … don’t they look great together???
I splattered the panel behind the image with the Light and Dark Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.
I also used the new Lasting Linen Background Stamp to add even more texture to this card. The Brushed Brass Butterflies were the PERFECT accent to this fun little sunflower bouquet.
Stamps: Pop-Up Petals, Lasting Linen Background Stamp Paper: Very Vanilla Ink: Early Espresso, Darling Duckling. Pecan Pie; Stampin’ Blends - Lt. and Dk.

Training season for the Huntsman Heroes started last Saturday … I will be running at least 3 half marathons in the spring to raise money for cancer research … my 11th year … YAY!

What a beautiful color combo!! For this week’s TGIF Challenge we are going with the colors Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral and Old Olive. LOVE them!
This card was another “quick and easy” one for me! I just picked a handful of different designer series papers that fit this week’s color combo and cut it into 1” strips. I then tore the ends of each strip and laid them next to one another.
Again with the splattering! It seems to be my new staple!!
Lucky for me I had some leftover branches cut using the Perfectly Pears Dies sitting on my desk - Very Vanilla - perfect!!!
Paper: Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Calypso Coral Two-Tone Cardstock, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Painterly Pears DSP, Gathering Together DSP, Vellum Ink: Old Olive; Stampin’ Blends - Old Olive and Calypso Coral Accessories: Perfectly Pears Dies, Pet Love Dies (small circle for sentiment), Streaked Dots, Linen Thread
Guess what??!? This weekend (Saturday, to be exact!) is the first training run of the season for my Huntsman Heroes Team!! I think we are only doing a couple of miles, but it will be GREAT to see the team again and get started for the year!

Monday Montage … my favorite Mondays of every month!
I had such a crazy, busy weekend that I wasn’t sure where to squeeze in some crafty time … got up VERY early this morning to get it done!
Talk about your “quick and easy” card! This one is just that!!
I used this great plaid DSP from the Gathering Together pack of DSP and that is almost the trickiest thing I did for this!!
I cut one of the dies from some Early Espresso cardstock and just added a little bit of highlighting with my white gel pen.
A little bit of White Baker’s Twine for the bow and a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots and this was DONE!
This doesn’t happen very often for me (doing a relatively quick and easy card), so I’m taking it as a win!
Stamps: Gathering Moments Paper: Basic White, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Gathering Together DSP
Ink: Versamark, White Gel Pen Accessories: Gathering Moments Dies, White Baker’s Twine, Low Profile Sparkle Dots Basic White Embossing Powder
I need to take down my Halloween decor and put up some Thanksgiving stuff ASAP! The last three months of the year just FLY by, don’t they????

Everything but the kitchen sink??? Yeah … I’ve got that!! Welcome to this week’s TGIF Challenge!
I received the most adorable “On Display” Bundle in my happy mail last week … and what could be more perfect for this challenge than a set that lets you just keep adding and adding and adding???
I used some of the Woven Textures DSP as my “anchor” for this card … wanted to step a little outside the norm. Isn’t it cute?? I mean, the kitty was PERFECT considering we just adopted a new kittty!
I also incorporated the new “Beautiful Pattern” embossing folder to use as a backdrop to my little wicker bookcase … love it!
And … I cheated! I added the now-retired Smoky Slate Pearls because they are just too-too perfect for me not to!!
A couple little tabs of 3/8” White Fluffy Trim and this card was done!
Paper: Gray Granite, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock, Real Red, Old Olive, Woven Textures DSP Ink: Gray Granite, Basic Gray, Pretty Peacock, Old Olive, Pecan Pie Accessories: On Display Dies, Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, Smoky Slate Pearls (retired), 3/8” White Fluffy Trim
Tonight is Halloween and the trick or treaters will be out in full force (I get around 200!). Afterwards, it’s a pot of pumpkin white bean chili and a fun Halloween movie with family and friends! Can’t wait!
