Now on to today's blast of inspiration from our talented Design Team! Here we go....

Katie Skiff

Paper Smooches - Circle of Honor

I had to start with Katie's project because it is so perfect to honor our service men and women! I love this layout and the deep, rich blues in that paper with the kraft. What an adorable way to accent the ribbon with the bit of twine too! Simply beautiful!

Lydia Walker

Paper Smooches - Happy Camper

Paper Smooches - Perpetual Bliss

Spectrum Noir - Browns

OMGosh!! This is the cutest! Lydia placed her little critters on springs so they actually wobble and bounce around like they are jammin' out to some great music - LOL! I would be wiggling my card all day! They are getting DOWN with Karoke! Now obviously this bear is better singer than I am because his deer friend is there listening to him. My screeching clears rooms so I only sing in the car, when I am alone, or with the kids when I want to embarrass them so they say.... "MOM! SERIOUSLY!" LOL! I love this card!

Marcy Dangcil

Sweet Pea Stamps - Ching-Chou Kuik Collection - The Serene Night

WOWZERS! This is a stunning tag! Marcy did a beautiful job coloring her image and adding all those gorgeous pearls, bling and fibers for texture! I love the little heart charm on top too. I have been a huge fan of this collection for a long time and am so glad that we were able to add it to the store! Such beautiful designs!

Kelli Hull

C.C. Designs - Sweet November Noelle

This is such a pretty CAS design! I love how Kelli just added a touch of highlights to the wings and the dress and let that beautiful image be the star. This shows how you can even keep your colors really simple and still have an elegant and beautiful card.

Shanna Shands

My Favorite Things - My Balloon

My Favorite Things Die-Namics - Mini Rolled Roses Die

My Mind's Eye - Papers

This is so pretty! I love the colors and how Shanna matched the purples in her image with her papers. Such a cute layout and those mini roses are gorgeous! This would make a sweet card for a lot of different occasions, you could just add different sentiments.

Olivia Marmara

Sweet Pea Stamps - Elisabeth Bell Collection - Jack-O-Lantern Tea

This is so pretty! I love those soft pretty blues and how the lace and pearls add an elegance to this card. Reminds you of a super fancy tea party! Olivia colored her image perfectly to match those gorgeous papers!

Olivia Marmara -

Candle 1 - Wild Rose Studio - Annabelle's Christmas Collection - Feeding Robins

Candle 2 - Saturated Canary - Candy Canes

These are soooo cute and would make a perfect gift for any person on your Christmas List! Olivia did an awesome job coloring her images and adding stickles to the design before transferring them to her candle. Have you ever wondered how do make these? Well... you are in for a treat because Olivia has created an easy to follow picture tutorial on her blog showing you how to do it!

I hope you enjoyed today's amazing projects! Be sure to leave a comment so you are in the drawing for next week!

Happy Stampin!
