I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  As usual, we ate way too much, but it was fun!

I cannot believe it is only three and a half weeks til Christmas!  Where has time gone?  UGH...I am so not ready for Christmas!  Oh well...guess I better get ready!

Today is Design Team Wednesday at Scrapmaster's Paradise and I have a couple of simple Christmas cards to show you!  I had to make a whole bunch of cards for my sister to send out. 

In fact, I am still making cards, as she needed more than she originally planned. 

These are just two of many cards I am making!

This one uses the sentiment from Christmas Medley!

This cards uses the sentiment from the  Christmas Emma stamp set!!

I will be back with more cards soon!  I am up to my elbows with cards right now!

SP & Company November Stamp Release!

Happy Thursday!

The SP & Company November Stamp Release is finally here! We have had some great sneak peeks, but it's time to finally reveal the stamps!

This month's color is Red! Not only does the Design Team get to play with this color, but YOU do too! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's red challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes! And don't forget that the random prize patrol is watching so leave a comment on every blog each day to be eligible for the prizes!!

Today, I have made a large Christmas tag for one of my special Christmas gifts.  It is a homemade gift also, but I am still working on it and cannot reveal it at this time.  The new stamp set I am working with today is just awesome!!!  It is called Vintage Varsity and these numbers can be used for anything from sports to tags!  I decided to use the number 25 since that is Christmas day and I stamp it on light card stock six different times in offset rows.  It looks like I cut the paper down to size, but that is how I stamped it...so that the image goes off the page.  I also stamped most of it lightly to give a more distressed look and then stamped it dark, one good time.  I also used the Christmas Medley sentiment and then took an edge distresser to each layer and also added some brown and black ink.  These techniques help to make this tag more distressed and old fashion.

Tag Size:  4" x 6"

SP & Company Stamps:  Vintage Varsity(numbers), Christmas Medley(sentiment)

Card Stock:  Stampin' Up

Pattern Paper:  My Mind's Eye

Embossing Ink:  Stampin' Up Dye Soft Suede

Chalk Ink:  VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Black

Ribbon:  Michael's

Flowers/leaves:  Prima

Edge distresser:  Heidi Swapp

Brads:  Spare Parts by The Paper Studio

I hope I have inspired you to make some homemade Christmas tags!  This is a big tag and it was so much fun to make and it also looks so much better than a store bought tag and your friends and family will appreciate your handy work!

Make sure you check out the SP Blog and see what Samantha did with the new stamps! Also, Patty, Stephanie, Kelli, Chrissie and Jen all have projects for you today, so stop by their blogs and check out what they have been up to.

Here is my card for today!  Since I live in Tennessee, of course Orange is a BIG color around here--GO VOLS!  I just LOVE this new set from Samantha!  It is a wonderful set, because you cannot find any Note sentiments anywhere.  This has so many different little sentiments in different fonts and I JUST LOVE IT!!!!  I just wanted a simple card and I love polka dots, so I punched some circles and popped 3D squares on them to give them a little pop!  I added the sentiment with 3D squares also, and then added a little bling to go with it!  It's a very simple card, but I love it and I hope you do too!

Welcome to a week long 500K Visitor Celebration at Scrapmaster's Paradise!!

In celebration of this wonderful giveaway, I also want to celebrate women and Breast Cancer Awareness month coming up in a few days!   As women, we need to stick together and empower each other.  I am sure most of us have been touch by someone who has had breast cancer or a close call and we need to make sure we all take care of each other!

For this card, I used our wonderful new SP & Company "Awareness is Empowering" stamp set.  Since October is coming up, I wanted to use colors in pinks and reds.  The big awareness ribbon was embossed with Ranger Distress Powder in Tattered Rose and I stamped the small ribbon on the background pattern paper with Ranger Distress Ink in Worn Lipstick.  Both sentiments are from this set and stamped with Ranger Seafoam Embossing Powder. 

I also distressed the edges of the paper for a worn look.
