Sweet Stamping Treats Design Team Christmas Project

Hi everyone welcome to the "SST" Design Team Christmas Project !

For my project I created a Christmas card with this adorable digi stamp from "SST" called

Kitty Stocking. My Sister-in-law had a cat very much like this little furry guy.

The card stock is from The Paper Company called Christmas Fun. the patterned paper is

Christmas Script by Colorbok

The image was colored using Bic Mar-kits markers. The faux stitching was created with My Creative times stamp set " Gift Card Sentiments" and some MS "Wassabi" green ink, and the red ribbon was from the dollar store.

Hope you enjoyed your visit and please stop over to the SST Blog to see the rest of the Design Teams "Christmas Projects for some great ideas and also brows her collection of Digital Stamps You just may find something you would love to create with!

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment if you like what you see!

Welcome to Sweet Stamping Treats November Dollar Digi Sale.

Holiday WreathIt will be available for purchase for the next month at http://sweetstampingtreats.blogspot.com/

For my project I decided to enlarge the image and create a Holiday Picture.

The frame is 12x 12 perfect I love the background paper it is iridescence and is from a stack I purchased at Tuesday Morning's / I used a piece of gold  card stock to mat my image on and stamped  a greeting from an Inkadinkado acrylic set I have.

The coloring was done with prisma and bic mark-it pens. I also added a little yellow and white lace stickles to the flowers and berries.

Head on over to Sweet Stamping Treats to see what the rest of the design team has created!

Christmas is for Kids Banner Blog Hop Day #2

Good morning and welcome to the Christmas Is For Kids Banner Blog Hop Day # 2 hosted by Ellen at Card Monkey.  We are so glad you could join us!
If you just came from Lisa L, you are right on track. If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start at the beginning with Ellen at Card Monkey


Today and yesterday there are talented women that have each made at least one Christmas-themed banner that will be donated to hang in the rooms of special needs children at Pediatric Specialty Care in Bucks County, PA. I'm so honored I get to be a part of this hop with a group of fabulous ladies who never cease to amaze me!

First we have a word from the fantabulous Ellen (aka CardMonkey):

"It is my pleasure to host the CHRISTMAS is for KIDS BANNER HOP, where fantastic and generous crafters donated their talents, time and holiday banners to the children at Pediatric Specialty Care in Bucks County, PA. (See www.PediatricSpecialty.Com)

I work at Pediatric Specialty Care as Admissions Coordinator. The children (ages 0-21) we see are medically-fragile and technologically-dependent -- many are tethered to a ventilator that runs through a tracheostomy; most are wheelchair-bound, and cognitively impaired. They are all delightful children who face life with optimism and hope for a better tomorrow.

On this hop, we have 34 generous hoppers who have created fabulous banners. I've split the group in half so you're not overwhelmed with completing the hop in just one day. So DO stop back tomorrow to visit the second set of unique and precious banners. Please scroll down for the full list of today's hop stops.

And there's BLOG CANDY to be had!! THANK YOU to our generous sponsors who have provided prizes to those who hop along. Here are our sponsors and their prizes:

One winner will receive four free digi-images of

their own choosing from www.MeljenDesigns.com!

www.HappyScrappy.us will provide one winner with a code

valued at $20 toward your purchase from their terrific site! 
 

Beautiful ribbons, embellishments, charms and more are on the

http://meiflower.co.uk site. They'll be giving a voucher valued approx $32 USD.

For my projext I created this sweet litlle banner! I hope the children will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

All hoppers are eligible to win. Here's how:
Follow the blog and comment on as many projects as you choose -- the more blogs where you comment and follow, the more chances you have to win. There's just one catch: please actually comment on the project, which shows you've looked at the project, not just cut/pasting random comments ("CUTE! TYFS") only to win the prize.
Random.org will choose the winners, subject to verification that winners have met the above-stated criteria."
Thank you (!!!) to each of the crafters who has made a Holiday Banner. Please stop by each of their blogs to send them some love
