Use it Tuesday Challenge #44

It is the 4th Tuesday of the month, so it is time for another challenge at Use it Tuesday!

The new challenge is: Use an uninked stamp. If you're like me, you have tons of stamps but most of them you never use. Now it is the time to dust them off and finally give them a try!

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

 

I have many of those Hero Arts Background stamps, but hardly use them. I still love them when I see them just standing there in my cabinet, but to be honest I especially find it hard to use them on layouts. So I went for a card this time and, because it's the holiday season, of course it became a Christmas card.

 

My hoarded supplies: of course the Hero Arts background stamp, the bright colored cardstock that I used for the snowmen, the bling on the snowflakes.

I made the snowmen, the snowflakes and the sentiment with the Silhouette. The snowmen are a Lori Whitlock cutfile, aren't they the cutest?

 

Now it is your turn to create your project with an uninked stamp (or stamps).

And don't forget about the DT Call Use it Tuesday is having right now! You can find all the details about it overhere on their blog. You still have a few days to apply!!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Today I'm sharing my first layout with the November kit of Gossamer Blue. This time the kit is filled with products of Heidi Swapp, Dear Lizzy, Pink Paislee, I {lowe} scrap, Sodalicious and Glitz Design.

For this first layout I went with the Glitz Design products, because they are matching perfectly with this photo of Phiene that I had in mind. Her pink jacket is the right color to match the Glitz Hello Friend collection.

Mr blue eyes

Today I'm sharing another layout with the Gossamer Blue October kit. Last Friday I received the November kit, so I wanted to finish up the leftovers of the last kit.
This kit was just simply fabulous. It was filled with the most beautiful matching papers that gave me a 'fall feeling'. I'm not so much a fall person and don't have many fall photos, but I still found it easy to work with.

I used this beautiful close-up of baby Jan and have been playing with the Silhouette.

Countdown to Christmas and a new DT

Happy Saturday morning everyone!

First of all I'm thrilled to share with you that I'll be part of the Practical Scrappers DT, starting January. Practical Scrappers is an online source of scrapbook inspiration and I'm really excited they are giving me the chance to be an inspiration to others! They are having 3 teams and I'll be on the On Trend team. This team will focus on trendier topics, tools etc, with a primary focus on layouts and cards.

Ok, now that I'm done with my happy dance I'll will share another project with you that I made with a Lori Whitlock cut file. I have been downloading Lori's cut files like crazy lately, they are so much fun to make some really cool projects.
Last week I made this 25 day Countdown box for Phiene, so she can countdown to Christmas. The fun thing about this one is that you can use it over and over again. Next year her mommy can fill the boxes again with candy.

What I also love about this one, is that you can take each box out so you can mix the numbers up. This way Phiene can learn her numbers and find herself the right box to open.
