TripleToot!

Well I can now spill my super cool news... I was asked a few months ago by Melanie Muenchinger who is a stamp designer and illustrator for my favourite rubber stamp company, "Gina K. Designs", to be her guest designer for her December stamp reveal.

I received Melanie's latest and most heartfelt new stamp set called "Hand-in-Hand".

I will be featured with 5 cards on Melanie's blog in the next few weeks using this gorgeous stamp set. So make sure to check out her blog for card creations!

You can see my first card made using the set on my blog here.

I also received TWO emails from BasicGrey and they picked up both the Christmas card below (using Melanie's new stamp set!!!) and also the page "T'was the Night Before Christmas" below as well! Cool eh?

I'd better be off! I'm still on "Mountain Time" but it's almost 11pm here in Ontario. Hope you're having a fabulous holiday so far!

T'was the night before Christmas...

I made this cute layout from all the pictures I took earlier today. It's all about our tradition on pajamas and now our new tradition of a new book on Xmas Eve.

I used the awesome sketch by Tanya from the site Journaling Junkie for their December Challenge (#47).

Texture... Texture... and more Texture!

I love using lots of texture on my layouts. I was experimenting also with the KI Memories "Festive Delicate - Sheer Delights" (shaped acetate with cream snowflakes) and here are a few sneaks of what I created with it....
