Treat Yourself - Vellum and Transparency

 I was inspired by Little Red Wagon's prompt to use vellum or a transparency.  I have been playing with a set I acquired earlier in the year, so there is transparency keeping my gum balls in the machine, but some vellum to create some contrast in my background.  

I also love stamping on the vellum.  The pattern paper was a perfect back drop with that vellum over it. 

 Such a fun set to play with!  

I hope you find some time to create.

You're the Sweetest

How about a little embossing.  I created my background - white embossing on kraft cardstock - as I was inspired by the prompt at CAS on Friday.  

I couldn't resist using the negative piece from a Pinkfresh die . . . can't throw out a perfect rectangle, even if it's not the piece that had the pretty stitching on the edge.  

I created the little candies and used some Glossy Accents to give that "wrapped-in-plastic" appearance. 

I hope you found some time to make something shine!

Let It Snow

I pulled this set out to kit for an upcoming class with Creative Chick,and I couldn't resist creating a card for the latest Lawn Fawnatics challenge. 

I think this is one of my favorite winter color combinations.  Something about shades of blue and purple make winter way more fun than the brown blah that is out my window right now.  I think these colors speak to true winter when the snow falls.  (Not that I need snow in my day today!)

I adore the little penguin.  

I hope you can find some time to craft a critter!
