There's plenty to see on the myStampBOX blog today. Come check out some wonderful Christmas projects!
I'm not usually one for non-traditional Christmas colors, but this card has me gaga for purple! It was made for my best pal Cheryl of Purple Bow Crafts fame. I used three types of Core'dinations cardstock including Cosmo Cricket Naturals, Vintage and my very favorite Black Magic.
I posted a quick tip for making a striking title block as well as links to all the yummy supplies over at the Scrapbook {Express}iosn blog today. Check it out!
I'm hosting a new sketch challenge at the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog this week. I dug into some of our Universal vacation photos for this layout and used some of the new Harry Potter collection of scrapbook products. Come play along!
Now that we're in the full holiday swing, I have been crafting with fall and Christmas colors mostly. I needed a birthday card this week and decided to pull out some old Basic Grey papers from my stash and embrace a fresher, spring-like color palette just for fun. The butterflies my myStampBOX Colorful Companions set were inked with multiple colors of Tim Holtz Distress Inks then sprayed with a Mini Mister of Perfect Pearls water for subtle shimmer. I wish photos could show how pretty it is! The sentiment is from the Straightforward set. So if you have an occasion that needs a card such as a birthday or thank you, don't get too tied up with the colors around you.

Fellow myStampBOX design team member Tracey Taylor recently posted this super cute card using products from our partner companies Kiki Art and Helmar. I knew that I needed a birthday card for a little girl we know, so I decided to put my own spin on this card.
