Welcome to Day 20 of The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019.  If you are arriving for the first time, all the details and the link up can be found HERE.

Our sponsor for Day 20 is A Jillian Vance Design.

I used Sweet Treats stamps to create this tag, which is perfect for dressing up a holiday baked gift.

Here are a couple of tags made using Sweet Gingerbread Add On Dies.

My Crafty Week....with some very special visitors

Happy Sunday.  Get ready for lots of photos.  I was lucky enough to host some crafty friends this week.  On Tuesday, Kim, Jacquie and I got inky together.  We had such fun, and were very productive.

Kim and I took a break from crafting to take Sherlock for a walk on the beach.

OK, on to the cards.  Here is my favorite of the bunch.  I stamped the city skyline image from Concord & 9th and then sponged a rainbow over the buildings.  This card took 8 minutes and 8 seconds, and the reason I timed myself was for the Inkspiration Challenge #166: Make a card in 10 minutes or less.  I am also entering this card at Just Add Ink #420, where the inspiration photo was a rainbow flower.

Kim and I started our first crafting session by watching this week's video PTI Make it Monday #331: Creating Mixed Background Texture.   I finally broke out PTI Stitching Garden for this card.  I am also entering this card at CAS On Friday #138: Tag It.

I was inspired to transform this card I made a couple of weeks ago, adding some more ice cream cones and using my newest PTI ice cream set, Sweet Treats.  I am entering this card at PTI Transformation Tuesday Challenge.

Original Card

Transformed Card

I inked up another new PTI set for the pets challenge at Less is More #377.  I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #348.  I don't have a cat anymore, but this kitty sleeping in the window reminds me of the cat I had before I got married.

I used a different image from that same stamp set for my next card, which I am entering at AAA Cards #121: Friendship.

Up next is a card I started at Tracey's house, using some cute jungle animal stamps.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Challenge Monday: Wild Things and Addicted to CAS #142: Masculine.

Another card started at Tracey's, this one for Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Make your Own Background and Seize the Birthday: Water.  I created the background by sponging Distress Oxide inks and then sprinkling water.

The Male Room #91 is celebrating their 5th birthday, and I have this card made with Concord & 9th Birthday Stacks stamps.

Last but not least is this card, made with CAS-ual Fridays Amber Waves and Lovely Greetings.  I am entering this card at Calling All Sistahs #15 where I used their suggested color scheme of red, white, blue and gray, and also at CAS-ual Fridays #105: Stamp a Pattern.

My Crafty Week

I had a super crafty week so I'll get right down to it.

First up is a card using Butterfly Blooms and the Lots of Dots technique from PTI Make it Monday #324.  I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #340 and will also enter at CAS on Friday #134: Embossing.  I used heat embossing on the butterfly and dry embossing on the center panel.

While I had those butterflies out, I decided to use them on another card.  This one follows the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #275,  uses the colors from Color Throwdown #496, and is also for Simon Says Wednesday Anniversary challenge.

AAA Challenges #116 celebrates their 4th birthday.  I am sneaking in at the end of the party with my own puppy party to wish them a happy birthday.

I made this mermaid card while visiting Tracey a few weeks ago.  I just love these fun mermaid tales.  I am entering this card at Addicted to CAS #137:  Sea.

Who wants ice cream?  I know I always do.  Check out my next card.  I used Sweet Treats, a new ice cream stamp from PTI.  I am entering this card at CAS Colours & Sketches #75 and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Bright and Beautiful.

Last up is one for the boys....little boys that is.  I am entering this card I made at Tracey's at The Male Room #87.
