I'm Only Jingling Half Way

If you are on Facebook at all, I'm sure you've seen this popular holiday meme circulating it's way around the interwebs.

Well, as I'm sure you can tell, I particularly love this one. *wink* *wink* When I saw these super adorable Holiday Grumplings stamps from Taylored Expressions, I simply HAD to have them. And this, naturally, was the first card I created with this set. And I love it. Lots. And lots. And a little bit of lots.



Ummm... and lots. I colored that little critter with Spectrum Noir markers and added a strip of Pinkfresh Studio patterned paper along the edge for some color. A small bit of gold tape made for a perfect accent banner at the top of the card. I didn't want to do too much because... you know... only jingling HALF WAY.



I got to play a little this weekend. Lots of time in the studio and I loved it! Since I started my new job I've had less time to create, which is okay, but I do love being able to dive in and just have some fun!

Have a Happy!

Because Adorable Fox

It's Wednesday and that  means it is TIME for a NEW Challenge!!! This week will be tricky for some of you and perhaps not-so-tricky for others. We are challenging you to use NO Patterned Paper! That's right! You can create your own patterns using stamps or stencils or whatever, just no printed patterns. Let those 6x6 paper pads rest this week! The Design Team is featuring Taylored Expressions products this week! I picked an adorable Little Bits Fox die and I LOVE HIM!



Isn't he adorable?! He totally is. TOTALLY! I wanted a bit of extra somethin' somethin', so I added two strips of the Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers Mini Washi Tape below my fox. I LOVE these tapes. For reals, though.



Isn't he just too cute?! He is. I promise. I wouldn't even lie about this, you guys. For reals. The sentiment is from the super awesome Simon Says Stamp Sending and Wishing stamp set. I use this set so much! It really is a staple. Love it!

Now it's your turn! Create something fabulous, but don't forget to skip the patterned paper on this one! We can't WAIT to see what you come up with! One lucky participant will win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Woot! Woot!
