Welcome Stampers! And, thank-you for taking our blog-hop today. Hand-crafted home decor is a lovely gift anytime, but especially during the holidays. Does anyone have a creative friend in their lives? If so, I hope this will inspire you to share your love of paper-crafting with them while giving them a great new addition to their crafting area.
The project
True Confession
I was inspired by my friend, the talented Sandy Carlson, to make this sampler. Second, this art piece uses several retired products. Can you spot them?? I will tell you one thing and challenge you to leave me a comment naming others. (Retired stamp set “Apron of Love.”) I may have to add the names of all who comment to a hat and draw for a package of Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots when I return from On-Stage (a semi-annual Stampin’ Up! event) on the 18th. Post today so you don’t forget! Being that we are going to have this challenge, I am not going to add the product list at the end of this post. Click HERE to go to my online store.
More Decor Inspiration
I have blogged several other samplers in the past. Here is a ‘clickable’ list of them:
In Conclusion
I hope you will schedule some time for yourself to craft before the crazy-busy Christmas season is upon us! As you can see from the samplers I have done, you have full creative license to tear into your retired papers, stamps, dies, ribbon, EVERYTHING to create for the holidays! Don’t forget to leave a comment telling me what items I used that are retired.
