Christmas sampler!

Well, hello!  It is the last day of November and that means it is officially time to begin thinking about and preparing for Christmas!!  I have a fun sampler to share with you today that I made for one of my stamping classes!  I looooove samplers!!  They are a really fun way to incorporate a whole season or holiday or event into one little masterpiece!! You get to decorate several tiny little canvases and then collage them together to create one finished project!  Fun, fun, fun!!  Would you like to see the one I created?  Take a look:

Just look at all of that fun Christmas goodness in one place!!  This is an 8.5" x 11" frame and I used 7 different stamps sets to make this!  The beauty of this project though is that you could use one set or 17 sets!!  Totally up to  you!   I kept my color scheme to a few key colors because I wanted it to feel cohesive and have nice flow!  I started by stamping my base piece of card stock randomly with snowflakes and then I went to work creating each tiny work of art.

Each rectangle is pretty self explanatory from each picture, but if you have any questions please feel free to zip me an email and I will happily answer them! :)  I will include the measurements under each picture if you would like to create your own sampler.

Once you have done all of your stamping and adhering together of your pieces I recommend that you lay everything out before you start gluing down your tiny masterpieces!

Here is a list of all of the goodies I used to create my sampler:



I am going to be putting together some on line classes starting in January and will be offering a monthly sampler class!!!!  Please stay tuned for more information!!  I am really, really excited about it!!!

Ok, I am off to do some Christmas-ing!!  Hope you have a little bit of Christmas to do on your list today too!  Have a great day!
