The Road Less Traveled - Sneak Peak

Hi everyone!

I had a really nice day on Monday.  The weather was on the icky side here, so during a break in the rain I ran out in search of a large plastic bag for an extra large gift.  Found one at Party City and got back home before the heavy rain picked up again.

Today's card is a sneak peak from the new Occasions catalog.  I am using two of the products I anticipate will be very popular - at least they are popular with me!  LOL!  I am using the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack and the Adventure Awaits photopolymer stamp set.  These two products in combination are really well suited for that young adult group.  Both male and female, but in my case, there are several mid-twenties guys that will receive cards using this combo.

Supply List:

Adventure Awaits Photopolymer Stamp Set
$4.49

Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack
$6.95

Jet Black Stazon Ink Pad
$7.95

Early Espresso 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock
$6.95

Sahara Sand 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock
$6.95

Workshop News - The next workshop will be held January 17, 2015 at 1:00 PM. We will make 4 cards and a small project.   The cost will be $18.00 or $5.00 with a $30.00 order.  Reserve your spot today!  Reservations will close on January 7 to allow time to receive and prepare workshop materials.

Santa Joy - FMS167

Greetings!

I hope you all had a nice weekend and got many of your final Christmas preparations completed.  All of our shopping is done, and I plan to spend most of Monday finishing up the wrapping.  DH does most of it for me, so I really don't have much to do, except for his gifts.

I really like the sketch challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches, so I decided to give it a try.  Now, which stamp set to use?  I decided to go with a set from the Holiday mini.  They will only be around for a few more days.  I'm not ready to put them up quite yet.

Here's the sketch for this week's challenge:




And here is my card,  I love the Santa in the Get  Your Santa On set.  And I especially love this red DSP from the Nordic Noel set.  It's so festive!

Hello!

Thursday is the day!  My last day of work until January 5.  I am ready for the break and to enjoy the time with family and friends.  I'm as excited as a kid waiting for Santa, LOL!

When the Holiday Mini was introduced back in late August, early September, there was one set that I fell in love with from the beginning and knew I would use it over and over.  As things worked out, I didn't use it much at all.  And I couldn't switch to cards featuring products from the Occasions Mini until I used it at least one more time.

All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper
$12.95

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
