Try Stampin' On Tuesday Sketch

Hi all!  We have been having the most beautiful weather lately where I am in Iowa.  I know the farmers will want snow but it is holding off for now and I am ok with that.  I love the cooler weather - it kills off the bugs, I love that! =)  Today I have a card to show you that I made using the new Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch.  This is sketch #94 for us.  I used the set called Dangles from Clear Dollar Stamps.  I also used stickles on my candy canes to bling them up.
I would like to submit this card into these challenges:
Try It On Tuesday - Christmas and sparkle
Craft Your Passion - Holiday edibles
The Crafty Pad - Glitter
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will come over and join in the fun at Try Stampin' On Tuesday!

Clear Dollar Stamps Release Day

Today is digital stamp release day over at Clear Dollar Stamps.  I choose two different Christmas sets to work with.  For November CDS is releasing 17 digital sets.  So many fun sets to choose from it's amazing!  For my first card card today I used the set called Holly Wreath.  This set also comes colored and three digital papers to go along with the set.  I colored my wreath with Copic makers - my favorite.  I also added some pearls among the berries.
 The second card I have to show you today is using the set called Christmas Scriptures.  The scriptures are all so beautiful and make up cards so quickly.  My corner dies are from Spellbinders.
