Sweet Gatherings

Good morning, Serendipity Stamps is having  a winter birthday challenge #2.  I recently purchased some of their stamps and I am very pleased with them.  The stamp that I used here is called Winter Farm. I really enjoy the winter scenes with lots of snow out in the countryside. Today is one of those days we are receiving a lot of snow, schools are closed, probably almost in the whole state of Wisconsin. I love these days, you get to hug and snuggle indoors.  Below I took a couple of pictures peeking out my front door this morning around 8:30 am. We should get anywhere between 9 and 14 inches of SNOW!!!  It is beautiful, crisp and clean! Enjoy your day and don't forget to check out Serendipity Blog for the challenge! Nancy

You've got mail!!! Papertrey's Make it Monday # 96.  Melissa made a gorgeous card on her video on patchwork die-cuts.  I decided to use the tiny envelope die for the patchwork focal point. I love how Melissa used the fancy flourishes but I don't have that stamp so I used the Turning a New Leaf stamp and added glittered hearts. There are two sizes of hearts in the Love Lives Here stamp set that I used, also using tag its #11 for the arrows and rows of hearts and for the sentiment I used Pretty Peonies. Finishing off the envelope I added a double flower of felt from Flower Fusion #3 die. Have a great day! Nancy

Good morning, Papertrey is having their Make-it-Monday challenge this week.  The challenge is Layered Glitter Shapes #95. I used tag sale #2, heart die and block alphabet upper case die. I couldn't decide which picture I liked best so I posted both.   Have a great day!! Nancy

Hello everyone, this card is for Papertrey Inc. Make-it-Monday challenge #94.  The challenge is called the detail glitter technique. I used tag its #9 stamp set and limitless layers and the snowflake die. The snowflake and the center of the snowflake is placed on pop ups. Thanks for looking and have a great night. Nancy

Hello everyone, I hope you holidays are going well. So far this December the weather has been warm, upper 50's yesterday, so shopping has been nice. Although I hope snow comes soon, I need to have that fluffy, sparkly, crunchy, cold snow for Christmas. Today I am entering this card in the Make-it-Monday challenge #94 Detail Glitter Technique for Papertrey Ink. Even though it is detail glitter, I might have done a little more than I should have, but than again maybe not! The Winter Hills stamp set is a joy to work with, love that house (it is paper pieced) and trees! Along with that set I couldn't resist Melissa's stamp set Love Lives Here Holiday.  That sentiment goes so nicely with that house.  Banner border die I used along the top with the Holly Jolly die.  As you can see the heart border die has the glitter. I am also entering this in A Passion for Papertrey Challenge.  The challenge is Christmas is Coming. Have a nice day! Nancy
