The team at ColorLab is back with a challenge! Take a look at this great holiday combination:
I got back into my Christmas stamping with this one! I pulled out my Season of Joy set which, I must admit, has been sitting in the bottom of my drawer waiting its turn. Not only did I stick to one stamp set today, I actually stuck to one stamp. I know…say it isn’t so! The collage stamp in that set is so wonderful when used all together but there are elements in it that are great too. I used the snowflake (just the right size!) and inked it with my Old Olive and Garden Green markers to form the wreath. The sentiment at the bottom comes from the stamp too and was also inked with markers. I used my Regals Designer Buttons as flowers for the wreath and also to tie the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding (did I mention enough yet how happy I am that I replenished my stock?!). The positioning of the snowflakes was easy with my handy-dandy Stamp-a-ma-jig. Not sure how I ever stamped without it! I added some of the Brights Paper Pack behind the image panel. The layout is courtesy of Mary-Jo and her Techno Stamper Monday Sketch Challenge 151.
As you finish up your own holiday cards, don’t forget that you can “repurpose” branches, snowflakes and other sets into wreaths. I love it when I can use a set in a way that is a little different! Thanks for stopping in today. If you have time, tell me your favorite set to use for making wreaths. See you again soon!

Awesome card!! Love the wreath, I never remember to do anything like that!!
So creative with the wreath from the snowflakes. So cute.
I love all the buttons!!
Great idea! I look at stamps and punches to try to “see” something else in them and never seem to be able to come up with the unique uses that so many others, like yourself, seem to do. Bravo!
Love the idea of using snowflakes as a wreath base! I like using the holly branch from Leaf Lines as a wreath base (sorry I don’t have any samples posted!).
So pretty! Great color combo and your snowflake wreath is wonderful!
A beautiful card! I love when you can repurpose a stamp – like turning snowflakes into a wreath! And the buttons add just the right touch.

Love this, great job using the snowflakes for the wreath. I agree the stamp-a-ma-gig is an awesome tool. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week, your cards is fabulous.
