Silent Night with All Ye Faithful

I have a soft place in my heart for the images in Stampin’ Up!’s All Ye Faithful stamp set.  To me, the sketched images appear to be wooden figurines.  As such, I don’t add a lot of color to the figures – instead, I tend to lean toward the blacks and browns when designing a project with them.  That’s exactly what I did when I made this card with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus for…

Ho Ho Ho for PPA276

As soon as I saw this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch, I knew what sentiment I’d be using, but I wasn’t 100% sure where that sentiment would take me.  The sketch calls for three circles (or shapes) – and I thought it would be a perfect way for me to use the “ho ho ho” stamp from the Oh, What Fun stamp set.  Since there’s a Christmas themed challenge over at the Global Design Project,…
