Made of Snow
I LOVE this set!! Its my favorite from this months release. The many faces and ways you can get that snowman to look is just awesome. Each one has a new personality, just like the real thing. Really cool.
I case you missed it, check out my Cocoa To Go! set My #1 fave from the release!
Pretty in Pink
Who says snow”men” have to be blue? I went with non traditional colors for this one and just LOVE it. I think this is my favorite color combo and to combine it with this winter set is great. I think she is just perfect in pink. The snowy hills are all layered and 3D! She is just so soft and cute.
I plan on doing many more things with this set, so stay tuned 😀

I decided to use elements form 3 different trees for this.
What is better than popping on a CD full of your favorite Christmas songs? Spreading the joy that gives you by sharing a CD of your favorite songs with someone special as they prepare for the holidays! I love listening to Christmas music with the kids as well decorate the house and the tree! I decided that a card and CD holder would be a great gift for anyone 😀

LOVE-Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush and Dark Chocolate! So cool. I also loved this simple retro card. Its high on my faves list!
So here we have the CD case I made-to match.
Unfold and here you go! The ribbons tie the top closed, and prevent the CD from sliding out. A super project for when you are tight on time, and want to mass produce a gift.
Here is my completed CD 😀 Isn’t it cute?
Mazel Tov
Well you may have seem my gift ensemble with this set found HERE.
I think Nichole did an amazing job collaborating for this set. While I am not Jewish and I am so happy to have a set like this to create items for those who are! I am sure many will appreciate her efforts for this set.
The image is called the Tree of Life. I think it is my favorite symbol from the set. It is so pretty and elegant! I wanted a card for “anytime” to send to my Jewish friends. I felt this was perfect. I gold embossed this image, then colored with shimmery pastels. I added some adhesive rhinestones to tree centers. I think they make it look elegant. I used the dotted border of the image to inspire my piercing in my design. I am very happy with the end result of this.

Rustic Snowflakes
Despite its “rustic” name, I wanted my design to be soft and subtle.
I made this little gift set that is sure to brighten up someone’s winter blue’s away!
I LOVE matchy matchy stuff, and I think this is apparent with this release! LOL! It really just ties it all together and shows people the thought you put into their gift.

The card-
I used versamark and shimmery pastels in my favorite non-traditional Holiday colors-pink, purple, and pale blue! I used a simple layout with the snowflakes border stamp for a quick and easy card.
This lantern was purchased at Target 2 years ago, in the $1 section! I bought like 12 of them! LOL! I am so happy I did. See hoarding CAN pay off! LOL! For this lantern I stamped the glass window panes, using white stazon, then brushed on my shimmery pastels!! Isn’t it stunning?
I found this rainbow ribbon for a perfect match. I wanted the hole in the top closed, so I stamped a matching panel to fit inside, and dress it up a bit, as I decided a battery operated tea light would be best for this project! No worries about FIRE with this project! Plus the kids could make these!! SO EASY!
Here it is all lit up! Isn’t it just so pretty. Image this on a table or hanging up. maybe line up several for a nice ambiance. You can usually find lanterns like this in the Home & Garden section of your hardware store! Winter usually means a nice discount!
Now Home for the Holidays-
I do have a special project, but that has to wait for tomorrow. I can tell you that the set (along with boards and beams) is just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it.
Well I am wiped. Its been a crazy week. We had some tight deadlines but we did it 😀 I hope you leave here with some sort of inspiration 😀 I really LOVE what I do. You have no idea the joy it brings me. I don’t know what I would do without my stamping!!! Most likely my brain would explode!
I do usually make more than shared here, but like to spread it out a bit so you don’t go into overload!! Be sure to check in on all the design team members for their amazing creations!
Stay tuned tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your pink snowlady! I’m a huge fan of the CM curvy cutter and love how you used it here.
Another set rockin’ projects this month Lauren!! Can’t wait to see what you’ve still got hiding up that sleeve of yours 😉
It is obvious that you NEVER sleep!!! Not sure what to comment on first, you have been a busy girl. I love the idea of using pink for Christmas or winter. The tree of life is very classy and tasteful and I love the way you made one of the snowflakes dangle. Need I go on??? I think I should go get my floors cleaned so I can get to stampin…
I LOVE the color combo you used on the Merry & Bright project. It is awesome! And as always you have fabulous projects!
Well, I tried to pick a favorite but couldn’t – All of them are my favorites! 🙂 The lantern is so pretty lit up.

Wow, I just don’t know how you keep coming up with more amazing projects each month. I have to say, though, this month’s projects will hold a very special place in my heart forever. The thought and caring you put into them….
The pink snowlady is cute, but the Tree of Life is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!
You’ve been busy! I LOVE the pink snowman. I always say “Pink & Brown are so Downtown” … and this card really rocks! I also adore the CD set, it’s SO creative & makes a sooper dooper gift! I love that it’s not complicated and can be mass produced. Color me SOLD — I know what my neighbors are getting this year. Finally, I wanted to say how pretty your blog is – great work! Keep it up.
I am ALWAYS looking forward to your post on the morning after Papertrey’s release, where I know you will blow me away with an array of awesome projects! 😀
This month my favorite is the 1st card, with the snowwoman in pink tones, just LOVE the color combination and the softness it lends to the card!♥ 😀

I LOVE snowmen and the one you created is so cute.I like alternative nontraditional creations.
WOW! Lauren you amaze me with each and every project that you create. And I am like you I always love the new Papertrey Ink releases and think man I am in love with this but then the next month rolls around and it is like WOW! all over again, there are so many amazing things being created. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
My favorite color combination of all time is pink and brown and I would have never thought to use it in a winter card, but I LOVE it! I rarely buy new stamp sets because I have so many already, but that card may just inspire me to buy a new set! Thanks for such fab inspiration.
Lauren! I just LOVE the pink snowman! I never would have used pink for that and I just love how it looks! I really like the pink, purple, and blue snowflakes you used on the last card too! You are just full of wonderfully creative ideas!
Simply Amazing!!! I don’t know how you do it every year. I love to see what you come up with. I love the latern and the CD gift ensembles. I thought both would be great for my MIL and SIL for a Christmas gift.
Thank you so much for sharing your brilliance with us.
Oh, I love this snowman set. I collect snowmen, stuffed,wooden, lamps, throws, and yes stamps (I have a bunch of them) so this set will have to be a must also. Your ideas are wonderful, thank you for sharing them.
Oh Lauren I love all of these projects. A great mixture of fun and elegance. TFS.
