 My take on Wendy's sketch:

 
I went with a Christmas card featuring Repeat Impressions 
These three gifts, embossed with Pearlescent embossing
powder.  Background is Distress Oxides: cracked
pistachio, worn lipstick, and seedless preserves. 
The colors lightened when I sprayed them with
a glimmer mist for a nice soft look.

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

 Everyone's favorite at The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes.  I went with
another Christmas card for my collection:

Repeat Impression Supplies: Pointsettia

I embossed the poinsettia, framed it with a die cut,
created my own background and added ribbon and gems for 
some sparkle and interest.

 Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all!

Each month I mean to enter Darnell's Twofer challenge and then I get busy

stencil by Taylored Expressions, a sentiment Joy and Love by
Great Impressions and Distress Oxides.  The second uses  a Stampabilities
stamp I have had forever, Snowy Pines, Taylored Expressions
Simple Strips sentiment, distress inks and
white pigment ink for the stars.

Thanks Darnell for this fun challenge.

Snowmen love



 I decided it was time to start coloring up and using all the digital images
I have printed, so I started with Christmas ones.  These adorable snowmen
are from Meljen Designs, her store no longer exists but she may design
for someone else.  Sentiment from Taylored Expressions.
I thought these were perfect for a couple of the
grand kids.
