As you all know, November is the time to gear up for Christmas shopping.   So many sales and crowds!   Well, stick with us; we have some great deals for your Holiday Shopping needs.

 

 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Winter Scenes"

My first project/card for today is serving two purposes.  In addition to being the third card for the blog hop, it is also my card for the CCEE Stampers.  This is the last week that Vicky Gould is the challenge hostess.   Her challenge was to "lace your ribbon."   

Using a Martha Stewart border punch, I punched the holes across the top and bottom of my embossed cardstock and then laced the grosgraine ribbon through the holes.  I used six different stamps from Mountain Selections to make my little mountain scene.  The sentiment is from another MFP set called On the Fly (which was featured last month).  If you'd like to play along with the CCEE stampers, link your card up using Mr. Linky on the CCEE Stampers Blog.

My second project is going to be a Christmas gift to my best friend and stamping buddy.  Using a tutorial I found on Splitcoaststampers and my Sizzix matchbox die, I created this little embellishment dresser.

There are a total of 24 little matchboxes in this dresser.  The knobs were made with wooden beads and brads.    I put an assortment of embellishments in some of the drawers.

Here is a close-up photo of the top of the dresser.

As you can see, this is where I used the stamps from today's set.  Again there are six separate stamps used on this image (the mountains, the rocks in front, the trees, the cabin, the pier, the boat/fisherman). The sentiment is from another one of last month's sets, Enjoy the View.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT members' blogs for more creations using today's set.  Every comment you make gives you another chance to win a free stamp set.
