Isn't this little snowman the cutest??? He is from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge (which goes very nicely with this new stamp set). I paired him up with some colorful pattern paper from the MME 12 Days of Christmas 6x6 paper pad and popped the layers with dimensionals.</div>

Christmas is a mere few weeks away, so if you haven't gotten started on those cards yet, now is a perfect time to start! I used the Christmas Cricut Cartridge which came preloaded on my Gypsy to cut this beautiful reindeer and the frames came from Once Upon A Princess. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a trim to the frame with liquid pearl and embossed the white background with Swiss Dots to match. The ribbon accent is the Sheer White from the <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #5588aa;">My Craft Spot</span></a> <strong>Ribbon Assortment Pack</strong>.</div>

I'm happy you stopped by today to get a closer look at my sneak peek of the the new <strong>Ghostly Greetings</strong> stamp set! This set is another fun Halloween set and to be honest, I can't decide which is my favorite!! I had so much fun creating this card! It did take some time but the end result was well worth it!! Here is my sneak peek for today!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tf46M_-ZfD4/UEIo0T_zqZI/AAAAAAAAC1k/Cxshs-s80dk/s1600/DSCF2054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fea="true" height="332" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tf46M_-ZfD4/UEIo0T_zqZI/AAAAAAAAC1k/Cxshs-s80dk/s400/DSCF2054.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This card took a lot of googly eyes and a lot of different sized glue dots to create!

Day 2 of the week long Stamp Release Party at <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #5588aa;">My Craft Spot</span></a>! Today we are sneak peeking another great stamp set! This set is called <strong>Spooky Treats</strong> and what a SPOOKY set it is! We LOVE Halloween at our house!

It is Monday and time for another challegne at <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a>! This week's challenge is Hope is Rising and we are challenging you to create those hard to make Sympathy Cards. I needed to add to my stash of Sympathy cards so I made a few at once. The <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a> <strong>With Deepest Sympathy</strong> Stamp Set makes it so easy to put together a nice sympathy card in no time.<br />

The My Craft Spot DT have been working on some AMAZING inspiration for this weeks Monday challenge at <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a>! I think you could say we had a load of fun with this challenge! This week our challenge is Under the Stars and we want to see those camping themed projects!! Here is mine!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yva9y1rKBOA/UCFc8D4lX7I/AAAAAAAACxY/Em3wg11x3jc/s1600/DSCF1909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yva9y1rKBOA/UCFc8D4lX7I/AAAAAAAACxY/Em3wg11x3jc/s320/DSCF1909.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been waiting for the chance to use these absolutely adorable 3D tents since I bought the Camping Critters cart! I figured this was the perfect opportunity to use them to make a Thank You gift for my daughters girl scout camp leader! We followed the directions set forth in the Camping Critters book.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RCJ4ekhMblI/UCFdKXcijxI/AAAAAAAACxg/f8i3rT8SM94/s1600/DSCF1908.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RCJ4ekhMblI/UCFdKXcijxI/AAAAAAAACxg/f8i3rT8SM94/s320/DSCF1908.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The process was a whole lot easier than I had expected and before I knew it, we had pitched a little tent! We added some little signs and used the <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a> Thank You stamp set to finish off the little cutie! Now all we need are some chocolates and I'm sure she will love this little tent! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Today we have another fun challenge for you at <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a> along with a great prize to be won! We are challenging you to create fun Invitations or Announcements for parties, weddings or babies! Here is my Baby Shower invite!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PWPfRLK9A7c/UBp5UAAGOQI/AAAAAAAACwc/Oj3JDhYYCxE/s1600/DSCF1835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PWPfRLK9A7c/UBp5UAAGOQI/AAAAAAAACwc/Oj3JDhYYCxE/s320/DSCF1835.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made these cute little Cowboy themed invitations in the shape of cowboy hats! I used my gypsy to stretch and weld the hats from Paper Dolls Dress Up and added a little sheriffs star from Create A Critter. I then outlined the entire invite with my black journaling marker. The little star is stamped with part of a sentiment from <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spots New Arrival Stamp Set</a>.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yOF9-A1NOwI/UBp5gUnls4I/AAAAAAAACwk/--kUC8667sE/s1600/DSCF1837.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yOF9-A1NOwI/UBp5gUnls4I/AAAAAAAACwk/--kUC8667sE/s320/DSCF1837.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Inside I used the entire "Baby Shower" sentiment and the invite stamps from New Arrival. These invitations are a little simple but I needed to make a lot in a small amount of time so they will do! I can't wait to share the fun pics for this Little Cowboy Shower! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

My girls wanted me to share with you all the fun they have been having this summer while participating in the <a href="http://www.michaels.com/Passport/pti,default,pg.html">Passport to Imagination</a> program at Michaels! It was every Tues, Thurs & Sat afternoons in June/July and even my littlest monster could enjoy the crafts. We had fun making our projects at the store then we would head home to make the Take-Home projects too! Here are just a few pics of the fun projects they have created while discovering the world through crafts!<br />

Solid Cardstocks, MME striped background, a frame from Once Upon a Princess, and the flower vase is from Kate's ABCs. I started out by cutting out my pieces with my Cricut, then I machine sewed my borders. The frame and vase are both popped up using SU dimensionals and I stamped then cut the sentiment frame using the spellbinders oval dies. The crinkle ribbon accent is My Craft Spot's Deep Purple and I finished the card off with pearl accents. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>BUNDLE OF JOY STAMP SET</strong> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-azsrAQ-ApTY/T-8_XXqU9LI/AAAAAAAACpo/QMW4hqQza-s/s1600/DSCF1566.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-azsrAQ-ApTY/T-8_XXqU9LI/AAAAAAAACpo/QMW4hqQza-s/s320/DSCF1566.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Click <a href="http://my3escrapbooking.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-craft-spot-stamp-release-party-day-4.html">HERE</a> for post</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This darling Twin Baby card was made using Pink Bubblegum Crinkle Ribbon and Cotton Candy Divine Twine both available at <a href="http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/">My Craft Spot</a>. I embossed the SU cardstock using the swiss dots folder and the MME pattern paper is machine sewed on. I stamped the sweet sentiment then used my SU punch to cut it out.

I LOVE the layers on this little cutie! All the cardstock is SU. I started by cutting the little monkey from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cart and random bamboo/grass cuts from Create A Critter. I outlined them all to make them stand out. I embossed my background with the tiles folder and mounted it on a white background. Then I added some eyelets with the crop-a-dile, layered my cuts and added this amazing trim I found in my MIL's stash. After layering, I tied the bakers twine vine through the eyelets as seen below. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V2sa3n01CWM/UAGM-KwbJYI/AAAAAAAACu8/O8mkpv7e7IY/s1600/DSCF1633.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V2sa3n01CWM/UAGM-KwbJYI/AAAAAAAACu8/O8mkpv7e7IY/s320/DSCF1633.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The background is then mounted to the card base using dimensionals and you can easily pull on the string to get the vine to move.
