Sprinkled Stars

This is the card that originally caught my eye on Pinterest. I love the colors and the exploding stars. The colors are Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie.

Another Layout with Sprinkled Flowers

I used Melon Mambo and Sweet Sugarplum on this card and thought it looked just okay. It was missing something. So, on the next card I also added Peekaboo Peach. Wow! What a difference that third color makes!

More Sprinkled Flowers

Since I liked the flowers flowing in the Vertical position I stamped them on this card closer to the edge. The colors are Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Melon Mambo. I was also using some long retired ribbon on this set of cards, trying to make room for some of the new ribbon in the current catalog. The expression comes from another retired stamp set, Sincere Salutations... still one of my favorites.

Snowman

The coaster calendars were a big hit at the holiday fair on Saturday. So, I've been busy making a few more of those for friends. I finally got my Gift Box Punch Board out of the box and made this cute snowman. I've seen several of these posted on the web. I pretty much followed the pattern on Dawn Olchefske's blog. The differences being the googly eyes on mine and the added scarf using chevron ribbon. I also pulled out a retired embosslit for the buttons (but you could use the new Little Pieces embosslit).

Isn't he cute!
