Snow Flurry Greetings

Hope you are having a relaxing Saturday evening.

We have had nothing but rain and gray skies today,

but I assure you, it has been sunny at my work table

today as I have been preparing a couple of

projects for a tutorial I'll be sharing over at 

Market Street Stamps.

Until then....

I wanted to share with you a couple of projects I recently

completed.  One for the MSS Block Party and another for

the New Release Designer Showcase.

I am also entering these two cards over on the
CARDS blog for the Christmas card call.

This fun card features one of the newest backgrounds from MSS

called 'Flurries'.  I stamped it in 'Sky' ink from A Muse Studio

and simply used it as a background.

The sentiment is also from the new set 

'Essential Holiday Elegance'

and is a must have for the holiday season.

The fonts and sentiments are all so gorgeous.

The additional snowflake accent stamp is from 'Cool Cats'.

I love my newest set of die cuts from Spellbinders...Labels 18.

I used that as my frame and topped everything off with the

sweet fabric die cut from Little Yellow Bicycle's 'Twig' Collection.

If you are not familiar with the MSS Block Party, make sure you

pop on by and check out the details.

YOU could win a guest spot over on the MSS Blog!

 The card I shared as part of MSS's Designer Showcase...

 Staying with the same color scheme as the card above, as I

adore the designer papers from the Twig Collection by LYB.

I used the 2011 Heirloom Ornaments die from Spellbinders

and stamped the 'Flurries' background once again.

The sentiments, once again are from the Essential Holiday Elegance

set.  I really like the way the ornament shapes and

the snowflakes are 'mirrored' in the background paper.

I really hope you enjoyed this quick peek at a couple of fun

projects for the holidays.  I think it's always good to be able

to do cards that can be quick (once the design is there) and

these both fall under that category.

It would be wonderful if you would pop on over to the

Market Street Stamps Blog and check out the rest of

my teammates projects in the Designer Showcase.

So much inspiration indeed!
