Hello, and thank you for visiting me as part of the Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop. If you are following the hop, you should be coming to me from Michelle of Hot Wheels, Glue Guns....
I used Winter Bunny and some patterned papers to make a fun winter scene and paper pieced bunny's scarf and sled.
And, you are in for a treat today--lucky you--a bonus card. I have invited my dear friend Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim to be a guest designer on my blog today. She was just a smidgen too late to snag a spot on the official hop, so she is posting here with me today. Here is Kim's adorable card (made with my Sweet Christmas stamps).
I won't keep you. There is still a lot to see. Your next stop on the hop is Katie at KB Stamps. If you get lost, you can always go to Lawnscaping to see the full list of participants. Make sure to leave comments all along the hop, as Lawnscaping is providing lots and lots of prizes.

I'll keep this short. More tags today....
The first set uses a tag die from Reverse Confetti, and images from PTI Candy Cane Christmas.
This set was inspired by (stolen from) this tag by Tracey. The snowman and scarf are from WPlus9 Stitched Holiday Icons Die, and the snow and sentiment are PTI from Snow Globe. I am entering these tags at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Let it Snow.

I'm back to post another tag set I made, this time featuring In the Meadow. I am linking up to this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge 'Let it Snow'.
I made 2 each of three designs, and the formula is the same for each. I cut a white tag, and then cut just the bottom part of a tag out of another piece of white. I used the In The Meadow snowdrift dies to shape the top part of the partial tag, and covered the edge with glitter. I picked three of the medium sized silhouette images, and die cut them out of True Black paper.
I stamped each white base with the tree image from In the Meadow in Simply Chartreuse, then randomly and liberally stamped over the entire tag with the little snowflake cluster image in Brilliance Platinum Planet. I stamped the sentiment (from Snowflake Flurries) in Pure Poppy on the snowdrift, and then adhered the snowdrift with foam tape, tucking the silhouette die cut piece just underneath the top edge.
A bit of twine, and they are done.
All packaged up and ready to be given away.
Supplies Used (for the tags)--all PTI,
Stamps: In the Meadow, Snowflake Fluries
Paper: White, True Black
Ink: Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse, Brilliance Platinum Planet
Dies: In the Meadow, Tag Sale
Other: Prisma Glitter, Twine

After seeing all of Tracey's fantastic tag posts, and even contributing a tag myself, I find that I am a little obsessed with making tags. Here are three tags I made for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge #71.
This set of tags is inspired by this week's Curtain Call Christmas Countdown challenge, and I will enter the tags with the Christmas tree into this week's CAS-ual Fridays CFC122. These tags are so glittery and sparkly in real life. I used Prisma Glitter on the starry background and Stickles and Wink of Stella on the ornaments and the snow globe bases.
They are packaged up to give as a gift set.

Susan Raihala of Simplicity has a heartbreaking story on her blog about a little boy undergoing cancer treatment. She has organized a card drive to shower Jonah with love this Christmas.
Jonah is only 4 years old, so probably can't read yet. I thought he might enjoy a shaker card with Santa inside a snow globe. I assume that he enjoys candy, so I used some brightly colored papers with images of candy.
I stamped a map inside, so he could see where this card came from.
Please see Susan's blog post here if you would like to read more or perhaps even participate in the card drive.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Winter Snow Globe, Road Trip
Paper: White, Scarlet Jewel, AC Merrymint, Clear
Ink: Scarlet Jewel, Memento Tuxedo Black

Hi there. I'm popping in quickly to post a card for this week's CASology #73, where the cue word is RIBBON. I have some wide striped SU ribbon that I just love, but don't use too often on cards because I think it can be overwhelming. I decided to use it today, since the focus is on ribbon. I kept the rest of my card very plain, to let the ribbon take center stage.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps--NONE! (I'll stamp a sentiment inside once I decide what to do with this card)
Paper: Vintage Cream, True Black
Ink--None
Dies: Memory Box Deer Trio, Sizzix Snowflake Embossing Folder
Other: SU Ribbon

Well, it won't happen this way for another 70 thousand years I am told, but here we are in 2013, and Chanukah started before Thanksgiving. Who is ready for Chanukah in November? The whole point of Chanukah (or Hanukah, or Hanukkah) is to give Jewish people something to do in December, right?
I tried to ignore the whole thing, but my daughters returned from our Thanksgiving trip back east with a bunch of Chanukah gifts from family members. So, in the midst of sorting out all the laundry and mail, I whipped up a few thank you note cards that they could use to write their thank you notes.
My oldest was kind enough to break out our Copics to color and shade these cute Simon Says Stamp dogs.
And I used the new (and awesome) Serendipity Owl die on these thank you cards.
I will be entering both of these card sets into this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes. I am also entering the dog set into this week's Addicted to CAS challenge #27, where the code word is PET. I do have a young lady in my house who would love to have a pet owl....but she will have to make do with our new pet dog.
I really love making these little flat note cards. They are always pretty quick to pull together, and my daughters appreciate that there is just enough room to write the essentials of a proper thank you note (but not too much room). Some day, I will be clever enough to make a bunch to have on hand.
I have been slowly getting back into the grove of things after our Thanksgiving trip. I know I am horribly behind on visiting blogs and leaving comments, and I apologize for that. I am hoping to get caught up by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks for Visiting
