Stamp Fairy NEW RELEASE - Lenny Christmas Scenes and a project to go with it!!!

Gerda has been hard at work again!!!! And she has created another amazing new release!!!! These images are incredible, so detailed and SO cute!!! I love the one of Lenny outside of the church...awesome!!!!

This set is called Lenny Christmas Scenes - head on over to the shop to get yours TODAY!!!!!

I have used one of the images to make my card. I also used the freebie sentiment which works so awesome with all of these images!!! I chose Kraft & Red as my colour combo because I'd seen it on a few blogs and fell in love with it! I think it looks so pretty together, don't you??

AND, the music sheet that is the background paper is actually from a Catholic Church song book from 1947!! When we were cleaning out my Mom & Dads house last Spring, there were some books that Mom didn't want, and that the antique book dealer thought were worthless....well....I snatched up those "worthless" books and have some GREAT new truly VINTAGE "Designer Paper"!!!! Awesome eh?? I LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope you are having a SUPER day!!!!
Hugs,
Chris

Simon Says.................photo inspiration

This week, our challenge for you is a PHOTO for inspiration!!!

Isn't it gorgeous? Perfect for this weeks Remembrance Day celebrations to honour Canadian veterans and fallen soldiers. Nov. 11 is an important day in Canada and the poppy is a symbol of this day!

Here is my project using the red & black of the poppies for inspiration:





I have used Real Red CS (SU) and the DP is from my stash. The stamp I used is HOLIDAY EMMA from CC Designs. All is coloured in Copics & the ribbon, flower & black brad are all from my stash! I used the D'vine Swirl embossing folder & my Cuttlebug for the distressed piece.
