Let's see what we have in store today. 

I really enjoy the holidays, but I am not ready for them quite yet.  Took me a little while to get in the holiday card zone.  I think that Debbie's Fleece Navibaa did just that - made me holiday happy! Look at this little sheep! Ewe are so adorable! I used a CAS layout to create this one:

Here is a cute, yet simple tag idea which is easily replicable (well, maybe not for the amount of Tags I need for the holidays)
I used the Happy holidays sentiment and Just for Ewe! Ha! That sheep cracks me up!
 

I had some grey card stock on my craft table (shocker - it's still not clean) and I paired it with some of this polka dot designer paper (also in the pile of crap on my desk).  Found the button stuck to the bottom of a bottle of glue, so I slapped that bad boy to the card! Probably left over from another project, because it was already sportin the bakers twine!  Do you ever do that - start a project and put an element aside and lose that little bugger?  I do it all the time!

Finally, I used some leftover designer paper from a previous project (also on the desk, which is still not clean because I am doing this blog post). To me, those white dots look like bubbles going up in a champagne glass - so it made perfect sense in my brain to pair it with *this* stamp!  Cheers!  I think I need a drink! 

I need to go clean my desk!

While I am doing that, why don't you take a gander at what the other design team members have in store!

Gina K. Designs October Release Inspiration Hop (Day 1)

Here are the super cute stamps that come with the kit! I {love} the awesome sentiments! And there are SO many images to choose from! 

 This nested snowflake is awesome - it's like a 3 in one stamp!

Here are the cards I made with the kit:

This first card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest, where they used the bakers twine to hold up a stocking. I thought it was a great use for the bakers twine, so I tried something similar with this elegant ornament.  I love the details of the ornament.  I am a sucker for snowflakes! The Gina. K cranberry ink is very rich and pairs nicely with the ivory card stock.

inspired by an Amy Wanford card I saw on pinterest

This second card allowed me to try out the new Gina K. white ink. It is so thick and fabulous and just clings to the card stock like a monkey to a banana tree! The sentiments in this set are so beautiful! I love the elegant script!

Love the white ink by Gina K. - it's fab!

I am a paper hoarder. I have a hard time using the designer paper because I keep thinking - what if I need it later.  Don't put off to tomorrow people! Cut that paper!  This card could easily be mass produced and you can get several banners out of one piece of Gina K. paper.  It is so easy to match up the papers with the fabulous new ink colors.
