Christmas Lodge

My first try with Christmas Lodge!  I really like this set -- it's very retro and cozy feeing.  I'm glad that the flash from my camera really picked out all the glitter "snow."  The Christmas banner at the bottom was taken from Pines & Poinsettias, watercolored, cut out and popped up on Dimensionals.  And did you see the two mini-jingle bells underneath?

I combined both of the new Christmas dsp's, Holly Berry Bouquet and Frostwood Lodge, then peeled me some wallpaper!

Leaves of a Tree

More fun with the Spice Cake dsp!  I hand colored the Leaves of a Tree stamp with markers so that I could add some dimension using lighter/darker shades together.  I love the shape of this tree!  The ribbon is the new Cherry Cobbler satin waffle ribbon, which adds so much texture -- I love that ribbon.  I considered adding a bow, but thought that the image and the dsp were already busy enough.

Always Thankful!

This is my first sample using goodies from the new SU! Holiday Mini.  I just have to say that it's a glorious collection of products!  I'm especially loving the the new Spice Cake dsp -- the colors are warm, with just a hint of Pool Party, and patterns are detailed and retro.
