Sneak Peek -Quilted Christmas Suite

Have you received your Holiday Catalog yet?  Are you drooling over it?  I sure did when I first saw it.  I love the suites in this Holiday Catalog and my favorite, right now (because my favorite changes with each suite I work with) is the Quilted Christmas Suite on pages 4 & 5.  This suite is SO MUCH FUN to use.  There are so many fun embellishments and things to work with.

This is a fun card I saw on the Thailand trip last month and knew that I had to make it.  Sandy Carlson, the demo that shared this, was kind enough to share the dimensions with all of us.

Sparkling Tree

It is still summer time but I love thinking of the sparkling snow in the winter.  I am more of a winter person than the hot, sweaty summer.  In general I like GOOD weather but snow is just so pretty.  Today’s card is another Tina design that I just had to make.  It features the Carols of Christmas bundle (includes the Card Front Builder Thinlits) and Dazzling Diamonds cardstock — so pretty and sparkly.
