B&B Weekend results!

I spent this past weekend AWAY from it all!

http://www.wyldflower.ca/

Jocelyn and her family are SO wonderful!

It's a fantastic spot to play with paper... or fabric... or yarn...

Whatever floats your boat!
If you NEED some time away, I highly recommend it.

Here is what I was stampin' and playin' with all weekend!
I started with these gorgeous glittery creatures!

I used a swirl embossing folder and a polka dot one too!

I also used the SU die cut strip "Northern Frost", that cuts a variety of snowflakes...

...and an edge punch, circle punch...

I also got out my Dazzling Diamonds and went to town on the snowflakes!

I've been bit by the glitter bug....

and I like it!

I don't want to make everything shimmery...

But it just works with some things...

Snowflakes are one of those things!

I used several different scraps from my 'blue' scrapfiles...and whisper white CS.
I made 6.
I was inspired by these cards...

------------------------------------------

Next I played with these as my inspiration...

but I used the 'Santa' image from the SU Just Beclause set [128/232]

I also used the 1" square punch and the scallop square punch...

with several Christmassy papers.

I highlighted the circled 25th with a smidge of red ink applied with a cotton swab.

'Sleigh Full of Toys' [129/232]

was the next SU set I used for this fun card.

I also used a Santa post stamp that I have had forEVER!

'Snow Flurries' [130/232] was used on this card.

I had some leftovers from the previous card and I just had to use them up!

This card inspired me...

and I made 2 of them...

...and the leftovers...

... I left the sentiment off...

I'll add it when required.... or not at all...

I saw these gorgeous cards by Selma...

and made this simpler version...

I used the Entangled embossing folder and some Spellbinders labels
and a poinsettia die cut.
I made 2.

Looooved them!!!
Mine ended up looking like this....

I used book pages from 'A Christmas Carol' and silver embossing powder.

These cutie-pa-tooties have been waiting a long time to get out of my head!

LOVE the Spellbinders Postage Nestabilities!!!

I cut the folded whisper white cs with the largest size.

I used 'Holiday Mail' stamps by "gel-a-tins", white

chipboard ampersands, various pps, ink...

and twine!

Plenty of twine was used over the weekend... 

LOVE twine!
