Holly Jolly Everything (Christmas 2020)

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I might take some time off from blogging between now and New Years, I haven't decided yet.  Most of the challenge blogs are on hiatus and I might just focus on finishing up some scrapbook layouts and reading books for the next week or so, we'll see.  Or maybe watch some Christmas movies.  Ryan and I watched the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas last night : )  Still need to watch Elf and at least one Santa Clause.

Anywha, I have a Christmas layout to share today:


Usually I don't crop my photos very much, which can kind of limit the sketches I can use, so this one was fun for me.  It's a sketch I don't think I'd used before and I was able to crop all of the photos without feeling like I was losing anything, and I had some fun DSP to play with here.  Pretty pleased with how it came out.


The color palette was lifted from the DSP:  Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, Real Red, and Whisper White.  I really like that pattern with the words on it and coincidentally I worked on a layout yesterday that also has gnomes on it.

Ryan and I are going to take Daphers for a walk and then we have some errands to run.  Ryan asked if I would cross stitch him a duck, and he needs clay for a project at school, so we're going to Michaels and the PetsMart next door.  I already have a duck pattern so I'll get some floss for that and I'll start it in January.

That's it for me today, peeps.  Have a great Christmas Adam!  ('Cause it's the day before Christmas Eve, get it?)  Cheers!

SUO Challenges: Holly Jolly Trio

 Mornin' y'all!  It's SUO Challenges day once again!



We're continuing our last challenge and sharing Christmas cards, so here's my new project for today:


The Gnome for the Holidays stamp set is so cute, I couldn't pick just one gnome to feature.  I had the same problem with all the Christmas and winter DSP options, so I made a set of cards :) I used the same layout for each card, but different colors/DSP, and the last gnome is a mirror image just because he's facing the other direction and I didn't want to cover up the mistletoe on his hat.  I think some of my embellishments are retired, but I decided to use what I had since I never seem to use up all of a pack of embellishments before they get replaced with something new.


Because of the snowflakes on his hat, I had to pair this gnome with the Snowflake Splendor DSP.


This girl gnome and her very nice Christmas tree hat got paired with the Poinsettia Place DSP.  Also, I didn't have red rhinestones, so I used a Stampin' Blend to color clear rhinestones red to use as an accent here.  Easy peasy and it didn't make a mess!


Mr. Mistletoe here got paired with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP, which might be my favorite.  It's classic red and green and some lovely seasonal patterns that will be great for my scrapbooks.

So now it's your turn--make a Christmas card using your Stampin' Up! supplies, and share it on the SUO Challenges blog.  Cheers to the holiday season!
