Reindeer Fun & the Take A Bow DSP

ReindeerFun_TakeABowDSP_side

It is Thursday which means it is time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a sketch challenge.

I think the images found in the Reindeer Days DSP are so cute!  Especially the ones I can cut out using the Reindeer Fun dies.

Adorable, right?  Sometimes I like to stamp and color the images and sometimes it is nice to just cut them out from the DSP.

Artful Amaryllis in White

One of the many bundles in the 2024 September-December Mini Catalog that caught my eye was the Artful Amaryllis.  I don't remember Stampin' Up! ever having an amaryllis bundle before.  I also liked that there were sentiments that could be used for Christmas and beyond.

Winterly Tree Tops & the Leaf Collection

WinterlyTreeTops_LeafCollection_side

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a color challenge.

834

I think this is a tough one.  Primarily because Moody Mauve and Soft Sea Foam are not colors I use very often.  This is one of the reasons I think it is valuable to participate in challenges like Create with Stamping Friends, you are "challenged" to use colors and layouts that are outside of your comfort zone.
