CDS Sneak Peek- Celtic Cross

I'm loving this Celtic Cross and sentiment available from Clear Dollar Stamps on December 1st. I think this might be one of my most favorite samples I've made for CDS since I've been on the team. I made this with my parents in mind - they brought me up in a Christian home and although I don't attend church on a regular basis I do believe in the power of prayer. My parents' bedroom is done in browns and blues and I've been hoarding this DP for months just waiting for the right project. I made a brown mat in behind and then cut the DP to fit. I then stamped the Cross in Versamark and Close to Cocoa and embossed with clear embossing powder before sponging in Soft Sky.

I've given this to my mom already and she had tears in her eyes saying it was one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever given her. She made my heart melt with that.

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Celtic Cross, I prayed for you today
CS AND PAPERS: Gina K White, Chocolate Chip, Making Memories DP
INK: Chocolate Chip, Versamark,Soft Sky

CDS Sneak Peek - Quick Lists

I'm a list maker.... so when I saw Quick Lists from Clear Dollar Stamps, I knew it would be a great way to get myself organized. It comes with a variety of types of Lists: Honey-do, Don't forget, Wish List, To Do List... the list goes on really - it does. I had a small clip-board that I covered with some of the New Nook and Pantry DP by Basic Grey. I then stamped the Lines and sentiment onto Gina K white. You can always make the lists longer by stamping the set of lines and boxes twice. I didn't dare write my to do list out - it would be way too long......

CDS Sneak Peek- If the Crown Fits

It's that time of the month again for the Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks!!! This month, CDS is releasing a number of single stamps rather than large sets. Perfect for last minute Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers! I know I'd be a happy girl to open up my stocking to new stamps! I'm a sucker for my stamps I tell ya!

This month, I've tried to create projects that would be quick and easy to give away as presents (great excuse to get some Christmas presents done). I bought a wooden frame from Michael's and quickly applied a coat of white paint (to make it look more finished). I then added this too cute DP with glue. I sanded the edges for a crisper look. I cute 4 small squares with my nestabilities, stamped them and then matted them to some black cardstock. I then cut out Princess using my Sizzix alphabet and applied with glue.

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: If the Crown Fits, Cute Crown
PAPERS: Basic Black, Watercolor paper, Unknown Dp
INK: Versafine Onyx Black
MARKERS: Tombow Markers
ACCESSORIES AND EMBELLISHMENTS: Nestabilities, Square Frame(Michael's), Acrylic Paint, Foam Brush, Glue, Sand paper, Sizzix Alphabet, Cuttlebug, Ribbon, Embroidery Thread, Button, Silver Gel Pen

The girls have been super busy this month!!!! Check it out.
