All That Scraps Review - Sugarplums Christmas

Good Morning!!!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.  It's hard to imagine that next week is Thanksgiving.  I'm in such denial.  I am really not ready for the holidays.  It seems to come faster & faster every year too.  Either that or the stores start putting things out earlier.  Maybe it's both.  LOL!

Every Tuesday at All That Scraps the design team reviews selected stamps that were recently released.  I love that it gives me permission to play with my new stamps!  I hadn't had a chance to ink up this cutie from the Sugarplums Christmas set -Emma holding a candle, sentiment is from last years AmyR Winter sentiments.  Isn't she just a cutie patootie?

 

 

I decided to pull out my Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather paper pack again - this time playing with the non-traditional colors of purple, blue & brown.  And I must say, I LOVE THIS color combo!  I used Prismatics iced amethyst  for my card base layered with a lighter blue (sorry I don't know the color).  I had also wanted to play with some new bakers twine I picked up from Die Cuts R Us.  It is the yummiest twine ever and SUPER soft. I ♥ this stuff! 

My Janome was acting up and wasn't having the zig-zag stitch.  I finally figured out the issue, but there are a few wonky spots on the card.  Grrrrrr!

There are more reviews posted on the All That Scraps blog.  Be sure to head over there to see some fab cards from the gals!

Have a wonderful day friends!!!

This card is wayyyyy too cute!!! I love it!! And I didn't even notice the "Wonky" Stitching either!! LOL

I do have a question about the stitching on the cards. How do you get the string on the card to stay behind the paper, insted of on the front? I'm always afraid to cut it, because then all the stitching will come loose and fall apart. You know what I mean?? LOL

Thanks for any tips!!! :) I really am always amazed at all of your gorgeous work!!!
