Today's giveaway are two beautiful unmounted photo stamps from The Stampsmith.
The first image, shown in the card and on the left, is Grace Christmas. I find this image to be incredibly lovely! I think it is because the evergreen in the picture makes me conjure up the smell of pine -- it is a very happy and soothing smell for me.
When I was making the card above, I stamped her in black ink on glossy paper, then gently tinted the image with chalk. That panel is mounted on burgundy, then on a piece of pink/burgundy/green that was made using the Two-Toned Crunch Technique from the December 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. That piece was 
mounted on a piece of stamped evergreen paper, mounted again on Burgundy, and embellished with ribbons and snowflakes.

I did make a card with this image, too, but it will be shown in the February 2009 issue of the TJ Newsletter, and I did not want to ruin the surprise!

Pat,
ReplyDeleteYet another wonderful card. Your art continues to delight me.
I love going to the candlelight Christmas Eve service. It's definitely my favorite, really signifies that it's Christmas to me. The last few years, we've had some friends over for a light dinner, then all gone to church together on Christmas Eve. The combination of family, friends and the Christmas Eve service really makes me feel warm and loved.

The holiday item that conjures up warm fuzzies for me is a tradition that we have of gathering around the fireplace on Christmas Eve while eating chili. This has been a family tradition since I was a little girl and now this Christmas we will pass it down to my granddaughter.

What about the Christmas holiday makes me feel all warm inside? My first thought was a glass of port wine - and I hardly drink at all!
ReplyDeleteWhat else? The smell of pine and balsam. The smell of cloves and spices... seeing the trees without their leaves really shows the true beauty of the tree structure... visiting with friends and family... eating comfort food... dressing up... driving around the neighborhood to look at all the decorations...
Usually the weather has just gotten cold enough for a fire in the fireplace. I love that my cat gets snuggly and affectionate when he gets cold.
And most of all, I love that my husband and I are finally cool enough to snuggle close!
Thanks Pat!

Hi Pat,
ReplyDeleteDo Christmas Carols count? Whenever I hear them I not only get a warm and fuzzy feeling but could tear up at the drop of a note. :) If not then it would be a peaceful feeling that I get when the tree is lit and the room is on low light and everything just reflects the lights from the tree.
Hoping you have a wonderful Christmas.

Most are fairly small but these two and one other each take a lot of space each as they have about 15 to 25 pieces each.

Favorite is when our family gathers on Christmas Eve to have our traditional seven-course meal with recipes that have been handed down through the years. A place is set for Jesus at the dinner table. Santa's arrival after dinner is distinguished by heavy stomping and much bell ringing. He distributes a small gift to each child from his chair beside the Christmas tree and then leads the way with singing Christmas carols. Would love to win the image from Stampsmith. Just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteMy warm and fuzzy comes when I open my boxes of ornaments to trim the tree and find the beaded drum that my dad made many years ago. He was injured and had to learn to walk again in a rehab center where he spent almost a year when I was a teenager. He made the drums for me and my siblings that year. This year will be especially comforting to see it as he passed away in September.

As far as what item makes me feel warm inside. It sounds funny but it's chocolate covered cherries. My mom knew I loved them. So when I was a little girl she always made sure to buy me a box of my very own. Of course I shared but it was still fun to open them every year. She passed away when I was 12 but every time I see a box at this time of year I think of her and miss her.

Pat,
ReplyDeleteThe stamps and the compositions are both gorgeous!!!
The holiday thing that most makes it for me is the look on the kids faces on Christmas day as they open their gifts!!! But, it's also in the music. My 1st language was German...even though I am American born. My Grandfather didn't speak much German, but he would ask my brother and I to sing Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to him in German, every Christmas. He died just after Thanksgiving, 20 years ago. Each time I hear that song, I cry for the memory of that wonderful man!!! Hearing it in German, I sob my heart out...not so much in sadness, but in the memory of him...and the great love that I still hold in my heart for him. It's like a message from Grampa..."I'm still here, and I remember". Merry Christmas, Rockin Robin Caldwell
Beautiful stamps....
ReplyDeleteThe lit Christmas tree on Christmas morning surrounded by my daughters and husband makes me feel warm!!
Looking at our live Christmas tree - I can look at it for hours - it's relaxing and for me it's the biggest symbol of the holiday!

It's the tree with the lights on and those are the only lights on in the room. It is really magic when you just have the twinkle of the lights and the sparkle of the ornaments.

The smell of a fire and pine are cosy smells to me and make me feel watm all over! Now that we live in Florida we get the pine smell from the Christmas Mistletoe candles -

What makes me feel warm inside at the holiday season is making the trip back home to spend it with our family. Our twin 5 year old grand-nephews are especially a hoot.
ReplyDeleteLove your card.

The cards are amazing! Love those stamps! My cozy feeling is having my children and grandchildren home for a day during the holidays. It is such a delight to watch the little ones open their gifts and play.

I LOVE Stampsmith stamps, and these are lovely. Your card is beautiful. Please enter me! And have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh...and what makes me feel all warm inside is a shot of Amaretto. LOL! Seriously, Chrismtas morning, watching the kids go nuts (hopefully) for all of Santa's surprises, while drinking a nice double shot cappaccino (maybe with a shot of Amaretto!)

Something handmade, from the heart. If opened while drinking hot chocolate, that much more heartwarming!

Wonderful stamps and you made a gorgeous card, Pat!!! Being with family and friends.. drinking hot chocolate or tea... and just enjoying being together.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat -
ReplyDeleteThe items that make me feel the coziest are the ornaments on the tree. Several of them have sentimental meanings. Like the ornaments that my mother-in-law gave us that were given to her when she was a child. Or the ornament that my son's first grade teacher made for him (a small portrait of him), he is now 35. We have an ornament for each of the pets we have had in our 36 years of marriage. The ornaments we bought when we first got married and when our son was born. Putting up the tree for us becomes a walk through Christmases past and brings memories of loved ones, those still here and those gone.
Enjoy your Holidays!

Just seeing all the Christmas lights at night. And of course eating Christmas cookies while looking at the Christmas lights is even better!

The holiday item that makes me all warm and fuzzy is when my husband and I watch It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve evening after all our guests have left. It's always a great reminder that we all do have so many things to be thankful for! Thanks for the chance to win.

Hearing Christmas carols while I am shopping makes me happy. It helps keep the meaning of the season in my mind so I don't give in to all the hype. ziajaymeeatyahoodotcom
ReplyDeleteAll the Christmas items make me feel warm and happy inside.

This is a PS, one entry, I did not see to say what Holiday, for me it is strange since I've been ill and housebound. I was always one of those do it all and never sit down types, now I am lucky if I can get up and with the kids gone, it's an effort for any holiday. So I choose from my memories past, my kids birthdays, my families birthdays and Christmas always!
ReplyDeleteI hope that makes sense.

my favourite Holiday item is the beautifully arranged dinner table. It looks lways so shiny and welcoming like a warm embrace with the white damask and the little golden stars and the candles in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI love the looks on my grandchildrens' faces when they receive their gifts.
