Happy Hump Day Everyone!!  I can't believe it is Wednesday already and less than a week and a half until Christmas.  Wow!  Time flies!!  I am still oh so busy with the Christmas preparations.  It always amazing how much we go through for one day.

Anywho.  Today I have two  challenge creations to share with you.

The first is my first creation as a Whiff of Joy Challenge team designer.  I am so honored to join this group of talented ladies and use some of my favorite stamps!!!
  Thanks for this opportunity girls!

Today's Whiff of Joy challenge is a sketch which was created by Kim.

http://gallery.myff.org/gallery/872455/KAS_Sketch%5B1%5D.jpg
This is my take on the sketch using Lizzie with Muff  from Whiff of Joy  (illustrated by Elizabeth Bell) for my image and the Holiday tickets from Whimsy (designed by Ann of Raindrop Echo designs.  The designer paper is from Whimsy's Holiday Folly, Best Present Co. and Basic Grey Marjolaine.  The snowflakes were created using the Create a Snowflake 2 die set from Spellbinders and a Martha stewart snowflake punch.  They were cut from silver and white glitter paper.  The corners are created with the Vintage corner dies from Cuttlebug.

Card recipe:
 Stamps: Lizzie with Muff  from Whiff of Joy   for my image and the Holiday tickets from Whimsy
 Paper: Whimsy's Holiday Folly, Best Present Co. and Basic Grey Marjolaine. Blue Bayou from SU
 tools: Create a Snowflake 2 die set from Spellbinders and a Martha stewart snowflake punch
embellishments: Memory Box velvet ribbon, lace from my stash, dew drops, silver brads

For more inspiration using Kim's awesome sketch please visit my dt sisters:
Anne Chelsea,  Gio, Jane, Kathrin, Kim, Kylie, Louise, Manuela.  Michelle

 **************************************
My second creation is for today's Your Next Stamp challenge.  This week's challenge is the ever so sweet owner of YNS, Karen!!  Karen challenged us to create party favors or something for a party or any celebration.

I have many party favors to make for my nieces and nephews.  I am showing you just one of the six party favors I created for my side of the family.  My plan is to hang them on the family tree when we have our family Christmas Celebration.  The image is YNS Merry Mouse with Candy Cane.  I just think this is the cutest and it is appropriate for a boy or girl.  The designer paper is from Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather.  I used the labels four die and cut off the bottom for the tag.  The circle dies are from Spellbinders.  The image is colored with copics.


Project recipe:
Paper: Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather, real red
Accessories: Spellbinders labels 4, scalloped circles (small), standard circles (small), American Crafts grosgrain ribbon
