Holiday Peekers at SCACD!

We have a special treat for you today at  Susana's Custom Art and Card Design! Susana is releasing four beautiful "Holiday Peekers" by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD!! It may only be the end of September, but the Christmas season will be here before you know it! So now is the perfect time to get a jump start on your holiday crafty projects before the hustle and bustle of the season begins. As always, you will be able to purchase each stamp individually. However, you may instead choose to purchase the Holiday Peekers as a complete set and receive an exclusive "set bonus"...our very own SCACD sister Carolyn Bounds has designed some teeny tiny Christmas accessory stamps that work perfectly with the Holiday Peekers! 

The SCACD design team have been busy in their craft rooms working on some gorgeous projects featuring the new Holiday Peekers to share with you today. You will find a complete list of links to their blogs over at the SCACD Store Blog.

For my card today, I used "Reason For The Season Peeker".  I love the Christmas season...yes, I even love the snow! lol  However, it often becomes a very busy season for many of us and I think sometimes it's easy to loose sight of "the reason for the season". I LOVE everything about Christmas...the caroling (although I'm a terrible singer!), the decorating, the baking (when I have time), the get-togethers with friends and families, wrapping the gifts...but all that pales in comparison to celebrating the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ. I immediately fell in love with "Reason For The Season Peeker"...my family has always put our Nativity Set under the tree, even though our cats are FOREVER knocking over the figures! As the pretty packages start to pile up under the tree, our Nativity set remains front and centre as a visual reminder to us to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas. This sweet young girl illustrated by Elisabeth reminds me of both myself (in MUCH younger years, lol) and my daughter...both of us loved to arrange and rearrange the figures of the Nativity Set. :) I used some older papers from last year. The wired ribbon was tied with my Bow Easy. The little acrylic snowflake was from the dollar store. It was glittered up with a Hologram Glitter Liner from Viva Decor and centred with a little flat backed rhinestone. A bit of machine stitching was added for a finishing touch.

"Reason For The Season Peeker" was stamped on Neenah cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Copic markers. I sponged around the image with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
