Chirstmas Card storage - MAKEOVER!

It's ALTERED, blinged, festooned with goodness...

Christmas Card STORAGE, that is a keepsake of its own...

Learn how I MADE it, here, at the lovely site of Want2Scrap™,
you'll MAKE my day if you check it out! Hope YOUR day is

FABULOUS!

Yee Haw!

Appropriately confused... GROUP RELEASE project!

Seriously, my scrap room doesn't know which end is up...

Is it HALLOWEEN, Christmas... Summer... WINTER!?!

Should we round up the herd?
{Don't even ASK the dog...!}

We're all confused around these parts. Last week we were having a heat wave.
Today feels like the middle of a late November storm series - WHAT IS UP!!!

Well, thanks to Mother nature, I don't feel like I'm contributing to the
confusion too much, by creating this fun Christmas garland with some
of the latest stamps from Wplus9 Design Studio's grand release!

My crafty bone got a serious workout today -
I "allowed" myself to get all techniquey!

A grand festival of stamps, ink and goo-gobs of hoarded "tackle" now DUMPED!
Used! Found it all a home - MADE somethin' JUICY! All thanks for the lovely
Madame "W" - for Wplus9, dontcha' know. SHE has brought forth the CHRIST-
MAS spirit and I am singing Christmas carols in her honor! WHAT a fabulous
release it's been! ALL of the stamps used are NOW available for purchase,
sooo: take one more stroll around design central,
and then head on over for a lil' shopping!

Wplus9 & JUST US GIRLS - Anniversary party!

It's the perfect storm of paper crafting for lil' me:

You may or may not know that I have the supreme privilege of designing for
the FABULOUS stamp company, Wplus9 Design Studio... Just about every
month, we unveil the latest {and GREATEST!} of stamps from the dynamic
designer and owner, herself - Dawn Woleslagle... We're hitting the ground
running for COLDER weather, and I couldn't think of a better way to show-
case Dawn's latest stunners, than to combine these new babies with this FAB
sketch challenge, from my OTHER job {heh heh}, Just Us Girls! Get ready...

To SNUGGLE!

{We just got over a mid summer style HEAT WAVE, here in California...}
But THIS wonderful stamp set makes me yearn for sweater weather!!!
I had a festive and fun time translating Dawn's images into this stunning
sketch by the JUGS' talented guest designer for this month, Maureen Plut!

{WELCOME, Maureen! Way to get us ALL crafty with delight!}

~ Did someone say "delight?" HEY! That reminds me of THESE girls!~
