Happy Thursday everyone!!!!

With school starting for us Canadians next week, this is usually the time of year where I start thinking about Christmas….starting a shopping list, thinking of what to do for Christmas cards, and quickly trying to finish scrapbooking my Christmas pictures from the previous Christmas.

I recently got the my Stamp BOX stamp set ‘Hohoho’ and decided to put it to use.

I wanted to  use one stamp set, and only minimal supplies to create 2 layouts and 1 card.Layout #1 “Twas the night before Christmas”

I used the santa stamp, Gelatin glitter embossing powder, versamark ink and my heat tool to create a subtle santa background on the cardstock. I chose white with glitter so that it would blend in with the white cardstock, yet still be noticeable.

I added one red santa because this layout is about getting ready for santa.

I also used the title stamp as the start to my journaling.Layout #2 “Ho ho ho”

I loved the hohoho stamp so I chose to use that as my title.

Ive had this picture of ds waiting to be scrapbooked so was thrilled to see a reindeer stamp in this stamp set, as it is the perfect theme to go with his homemade reindeer antlers.

I added some Scenic Route stickers to my journaling, and added a star cluster to the top left hand side of the layout.Card #1 also titled “hohoho”

I used some Bazzill cardstock that already had an embossed design on it, and used a white gel pen to highlight some of the doodley designs

I stamped Santa onto light blue patterned paper, so I could add some depth using a pop dot, and finished the card by using some gold spray paint over the front of the card.

Dont forget to come to the blog Saturday, September 5 at 12 noon EST to begin the design team blog hop.

The topic is Alphabets, so be ready for plenty of inspiration..Hope to see you all here!!!
