Sweet Inspiration with CSAYL

 

It's that time of the week when I think about Christmas. It is time for a Christmas Stampin' All Year Long challenge. 

Our sponsor this week  is Bugaboo Digi Stamps - Yay!!!

The challenge this week is an inspiration photo:

I went with the stripes and colors, plus a cute Bugaboo image - Ava Christmas Candy Cane to arrive at this gift tag...

Sketch Time!

It is time for the 17th Your Next Stamp Challenge!

This week's challenge is a sketch!  So fun!

Here is my take using Ellie Loves Latte!

Remember, you are not required to use YNS' stamps, but you may just win some. Just think of the cuteness you will receive if you win a YNS prize pack!!! Check out the YNS blog for all the details.

All Sewn Up with CSAYL

It's that time of the week when I think about Christmas. It is time for a Christmas Stampin' All Year Long challenge. The challenge this week is to use stitching, either real or faux on your project.
We are sponsored by Fred, She Said Designs, which has a ton of wonderful digis to choose from.

Now it is time for a secret...I cheated on this card and went with a precolored digi! I tweaked the colors just a bit, but what a time saver!

The layout for this one is based on the September SFYTT.

August SFYTT

As is the norm the past couple months, I am getting my SFYTT entry in at the last minute.  I made my card for August several days ago, but kept forgetting to take a photo in daylight!  I have been busy with back to school...all three kiddos are now in school - so exciting!

CSAYL - ABC

It is time for another Christmas Stampin' All Year Long challenge, the 26th of the year!  That means if you are playing along then you have 25 Christmas projects done already.  The Christmas challenge this week is to create anything but a card.

I created a little candy wrap.  I took a strip of cs, added some scores to create a base and flap and added some ribbon to tie it together. 

Be sure to check out the rest of the CSAYL team's fab creations! Then play along - wouldn't it be great to get a head start on your Christmas crafting and have a chance to win a prize at the same time???!!!
