*Wink *Wink Ink TIME . . .

Happy Monday Everyone!!  

Have you been over to *Wink *Wink Ink lately??  If not, you are missing out on a  FUN contest going on right now and you'll want to be sure and get involved!!  It's a "TRIM A TREE" contest and Melanie is providing the TREE!  How cool is that!  Here's a bit of inspiration for you . . .

 This adorable Christmas Hat is also one of Melanie's images and is only $1.50 at the *Wink *Wink Ink Shop.  It is SO MUCH FUN to play with as you will see in my future posts!  Need MORE inspiration?  Here ya go . . .

How about a close up of the decorations?  This card was created using Basic Grey Jovial dp, red satin ribbon, bow easy and Nestabilities Labels 14.  The tree decorations consist of various colors of Stickles and worked quite well once they dried!

How about ONE MORE?  And if you've been over to the *Wink *Wink Ink blog, you might recognize it as the card Melanie chose to display as my DT card.

I was very happy with the outcome of this creation.  The background dp is from Graphic45 and I have used a 100 weight gold metallic for my matting.  The star was cut using a Creative Memories star punch and the lower border is a Martha Stewart Punch.  

The decorating on this tree was created using gold Stickles and Stampendous diamond dots of various colors.  

Now it's YOUR turn!  Be sure to jump right over and get your TREES ... decorate them in YOUR style then come back to the *Wink *Wink Ink blog and share it with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!  What fun!!

Before I go ... I wanted to give you a sneak peek of a new stamp set being released the end of the week!  You'll definitely want this set for your collection!  And wait until you see the amazing samples for your inspiration!  WOWZA!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
