Whew!  Now onto the projects!  I'm sharing a project that I designed especially for today.  It features some of the Optional Add-Ons:


I was super intrigued the the Paper Layering Wooden Door and couldn't wait to give it a try!  My base is a Blush Mix Layering Paper panel that has been stamped with the Designer Woodgrain in Red Royal Mid-Tone Shadow Ink.  

I placed the door frame cut where I wanted it positioned on the Blush panel.  Check out the door hardware that comes with the set...love all the detail work.

The chalkboard sign is from the Santa's Door Accessories stamp set.  


I love the contrast of the deep red and black, how about you?  

Before you go, I did want to share a project that I made especially for a Countdown to Creativity post.  All stamps + dies are from the Main kit:



Isn't the Frost Sequin Mix perfect for the shaker card?!  I thought that little scenery had to be part of a shaker!

That's it for me today...I can't wait to hop around and check out how everyone was inspired.  Next up is the awesome Ilina Crouse!

In case you get lost along the way, here's the hop listing:

Too cute! Please enter my name in the giveaway. I would have ordered the set right off, but money's an issue, so I've got my fingers crossed for this! I want so badly to be able to make my ideas for this set! Oh... Oh... I can just picture it now!!!
