Happy Holidays - Photo Inspiration Week at ATSM

Hey crafty friends!  It's time for another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week have a lovely holiday photo to spark your creativity.


I drew from the color palette and added some gold and red accents to my wreath.  I stamped the wreath and then overlayed it with some die cut leaves.  The sentiment and bell embellishments are from some sticker packs I've had in my stash forever.  I love it when you dig up something you've forgotten and put it to good use!


What will this lovely photo inspire for you?  Link up and you'll have a chance to win this week's prize from our sponsor:  Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet - they are giving away 3 free digis, yay!

Thanks for stopping by, keep it crafty!

I also have some family photos and some news to share.  Here are some highlights from our very first family photo shoot.  Ansley is 4 now, and you can have a look at my fabulous husband, Ken :)





As you can see, there is a bit more of me to love these days because we are expecting our second child February 19 (Which can't come soon enough as far as this pregnant lady is concerned!)  We are having another little girl, and are currently completely stumped for names...any suggestions?

Thanks for stopping by, keep it crafty!
