Today I have a layout and a card featuring  Candy Jar Christmas and Candy Jar Christmas Fillers. These stamp sets contain so many versatile images that may be used for scrapbooking, cardmaking or creating altered treasures ;) First up is a layout of Connor and Meri helping me decorate cookies years ago: NOTE: Meri's cheeks packed with samples! :) LOL

Candy Jar Christmas contains several circular shaped sentiments and so much more! I stamped the round sentiments, sponged the centers using various colored inks on each then adhered to a rosette embellishment made using Tim Holtz Rosette die templates.

Next is another rosette embellishment bearing another fun circular shaped sentiment:

and yet another one:

Candy Jar Christmas Fillers contains both "solid" and "non-solid" images ~ something for everyone! I inked up the "solid" gingerbread man (boy) image and stamped him in the jar on my layout. I used a masking technique adding layers and depth to these little guys. I created a custom label combining the Mrs. Santa Claus image label and the fun Traditional Elven Recipes image:

For those of you who prefer card making and enjoy coloring, then these gingerbread men (boyz) are for you! The little guys peeking out of the jar on my card are a cluster of gingerbread men that require coloring.

For layout sketch inspiration, I played along with the awesome sketch from Becky Fleck at PageMaps:

and for card sketch inspiration, I played along with the fun sketch challenge at Inkspirations:
