Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Holiday

Happy Friday!! What are your plans for the weekend?? I will be celebrating Christmas early with my sister and her family, so I will be out of town until Sunday evening. I will visit all of your blogs when I get back :)  It's time for another Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces!! The theme this week  is a fun one...any "Holiday" card project or layout.

For my Holiday card, I started with paper from My Mind's Eye All is Bright Paper stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-it-All for a shabby chic look.

The angel is from Tim Holtz Joyful Song stamp set...I just love this stamp :) It was stamped with Versafine ink in Onyx and then embossed with Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder in Black.

The ornament is a Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments 2011 die. "A Joyful Christmas" is from the same Joyful Song set, stamped with Fired Brick and then embossed with Fired Brick Distress Ink. The ornament was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The swirl gems and individual gems are from Recollections. The ribbon is from May Arts, the button from my stash.

I am linking this up with the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp - What's Your Favorite (Spellbinders, Tim Holtz and MME)
2. DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge - Anything Goes
3. Sunday Funday #4 - Anything Goes

Getting Cricky Design Team Post - Owly Hoo

Happy Wednesday!! I hope the first part of your week was fabulous!! It's my turn to post again on Getting Cricky and today we are featuring the three fun Owl stamp sets :)

I only had a few minutes in my craft room to whip this up, so this was a super-fast tag, not a lot of layers or embellishments. The tag base is from my sweet friend, Cheri of DJ's Sundries!! I won her giveaway of an amazing box of crafting goodies...I was like a kid at Christmas opening it up :) Thanks again, Cheri!! The tag was inked with Old Paper and Tea Dye Distress Ink, then crumpled and inked with Vintage Photo. The tag was then ironed flat and stamped with my favorite Tim Holtz Tree stamp in Vintage Photo. The edges of the tag were then inked with Walnut Distress Ink. The branch is from K Andrew Designs Hooty Owl Accessories, cut out and attached with foam tape for dimension. The owl is from Hooty Owls, stamped on My Mind's Eye paper, cut out and attached with foam tape. The pennant is a Spellbinders Nested Pennant die, inked with Old Paper, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo and Walnut Distress Inks. The sentiment is from Olwy Hoo:
