Spidery Halloween Scene

 Happy Halloween! To celebrate, I used the Halloween Scene to create a little spooky vignette, then added the Spidery Halloween stamp for the sentiment. The background is paper from my stash, with three stripes of black glitter tape to enhance it. Hope your Halloween is full of fun, friends, and candy!

Vellum Merry Christmas

 

It's been a while since I pulled out my vellum - but I really wanted to overlay this sentiment from the Gifts of Christmas stamp set over the Ribboned Ornaments, and vellum was a great solution. I used a heavy hand with dark colors to make the ornaments underneath pop. The stamps may be found here:

Too Many Lights?

 

Can you have too many lights at Christmas? I think not! It's hard to see in the picture, but the little lights are colored with white gel pen, silver, and shimmer glitter markers. It's subtle but kind of like lights in the dark... The Christmas Lights set of 4 is available here:

Fun Gnome Skaters

 Don't you just love the whimsical happiness these Gnome Skaters evoke? They make me smile!
