Now, let's take a look at my project for Day 11!

These triple stamp cards are pretty neat and actually not that difficult to make.  I found a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers.  Again, my go-to stamp sets for this card was from The {Stamps} of Life:  wreath4me and trees4Christmas.  Since I used dark green cardstock, I also used Marcella by K Evergreen dye ink to stamp the wreath (no longer sold by K & Company), and I believe I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Barn Door for the words.  I also added a little bit of glitter for some shine.

When I need several Christmas cards in a hurry, there are a few stamp sets from The {Stamps} of Life that are my go-to sets, because they're just perfect!  This set is trees4Christmas, and everything on this card came from the same set.  How great is THAT?!?!?  One set, two sizes of acrylic blocks, two different colored stamp pads, and you're done!  The inks I used on this card were Studio G bright yellow and Marcella by K Evergreen dye ink (no longer sold by K and Company).

Now, let's take a look at my project for Day 8!

I love the simplicity of this card!  A simple holiday wreath with holly berries and a red bow is a classic decoration, so using this on the front of a card with a short sentiment seemed perfect.  It did take me a little while to color in the wreath, which is the only detriment if you're wanting to use this on several cards.

Supplies Used

~Colored pencils from stash

~Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black

~The {Stamps} of Life wreath4me (image) stamp set

~The {Stamps} of Life sentiment (Club Member Exclusive)

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Sketch #5

Welcome to December and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for December comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

Once I decided what photos I was going to use for my page, I realized I needed to flip the sketch since I was going to use a vertical photo.

This was a WONDERFUL weekend that I DEFINITELY wanted to document, and these were the perfect photos for this page.

This weekend was more than I could have ever asked for!  I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Teresa Collins Webber.  She is the strongest, most incredible woman I think I have ever met.  She is loving.  She is caring.  She is creative.  She is genuine.  What you see is what you get with her.  She is super friendly and such an inspiration!  I will treasure this weekend and the opportunity to meet her and get to know her a little better for a very long time.

Everything on this PL page (except for the cardstock) is from various Teresa Collins collections that we were given throughout the weekend.  Most are remnants from projects we completed, but we were also given some pieces of other collections.  I used Daily Stories, Something Wonderful, and Urban Market on this page.

There are two (Yes, I said TWO!) prizes for this month:

 White Pines assortment AND

White Pines Complements!  Aren't these just DARLING?!?

We can't wait to see the PL cards you create with this new sketch!  Be sure to get your creation linked up at the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge blog before the end of the month.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!
