I LUV SCRAPPING TOO Retirement has created a challenge addict, which takes up a fair amount of my time. Thanks to innovative and creative ideas from many Design Teams, my CTMH daughter, and my friends. Challenges give me a jump-start on many of my cards and turns on my creativity to come up with my own unique designs.

Gnome for the Holidays
Got this Stamp Set just before the Pandemic and was going to use it for all my Christmas cards; however, the patterns on the hats, tree, presents and ornaments were all white space, and it's quite time consuming to fill in with the different patterns. Decided to use the CTMH gnomes instead and use pattern paper for the background... so this special gnome card is for my favorite daughter and her family. Although maybe after doing 35-40 cards I might have perfected the coloring... lol.

GingerBread House - Double Trouble Challenge #73 "Die-lirious Holiday Season"
Our partner for this challenge is Bitten By The Bug 2 and even though they usually require the inclusion of a cut from a Cricut, we CUT a holiday Die'al with them to be able to use dies from cutter machines. However, I uncovered my Cricut and uploaded a SVG file from Dreaming Tree, a GingerBread tree ornament, for the Double Trouble Challenge #73 "Die-lirious Holiday Season" project.

You Are Too Cool - Double Trouble Challenge #73 with Bitten by the Bug 2
Here is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #73 "A Die-lirious Holiday Season" and partnering with Bitten By a Bug 2. Thing 1 Trouble Maker (Me) asks you to select a favorite tool to create a Holiday project. My selection was the Cuttlebug for which I selected my new CTMH Waterfall Thin Cut... sooooo much easier than cutting and scoring a written tutorial for your waterfall.
Then the fun began... selection of stamps for the waterfall. In my stash there were a couple penguins previously colored last year in a Copic class and never completed as a card. These were perfect for a Holiday waterfall card, along with a cute walrus and a sentiment with snowflakes.
