After playing with the Lawn Fawn Frosty Friends I moved on to the Joy to the Woods set. I love the birch tree branches and the little birdhouse and holly, so much fun.

Snowglobe tree card
Another of my favourite cards of this Christmas, although photographed in a hurry.
I always love white silhouettes against blue, plus a little red, so this came together very quickly.
Memory Box: tree, birds
Impression Obsession: Snow Globe
Stampin' Up!: greeting
I added some white pen snowflakes and used the pen to trace over the greeting which hadn't turned out well using an old white inkpad.

Leaping Deer Card
I love this leaping deer cut on gold foil card, along with Stampin' Up! colours.
I was really happy with the way this card turned out, it would be a good one to produce en masse.
Trouble is, I like making 80 different cards each year!

Lately I've been a little obsessed with Lawn Fawn stamps & dies.
This was one of my first creations, one of my favourite cards this Christmas.
Stay tuned for more of my designs using the Lawn Fawn stamps, I've got one coming each day for the next few days!

Christmas cottage card - Holiday Home
I've started making Christmas cards, inspired by some dies I purchased recently.
This little house in the Holiday Home set is one of my favourites and I love the greeting, too.
The wreath around the edge plus the snowflakes finished it off nicely.
I think I'll have trouble giving this one away ...
Supplies:
Holiday Home polymer stamps - Stampin' Up
Real Red, Marina Mist, Whisper White and Hunter Green cardstock - Stampin Up
Small Snowflake dies - Impression Obsession
Wreath die - Tupelo Circle - Memory Box
Uniball Signo white pen

Spring Blossoms
A birthday card I made this week for a stamping friend.
I love colouring with Prismacolor pencils on coloured cardstock, and especially seeing the white pop against the background. But when I tried adding white trim to the card it didn't seem quite right, so I dulled the white blossoms a little by colouring a very light layer of tan over the top.

Hey there, Sunshine
Just dropping in to say that I've resigned from Stampin' Up!, but will still be posting some of my stamping projects here from time to time. I absolutely loved being with Stampin' Up! during the past 6 years, but the time had come for me to move on. Since I resigned in February, I've been busy with family projects, music teaching, and some casual teaching. I've also discovered a love for mixed media art, and using my craft supplies in whole new ways. Stay tuned!
