Let’s get to this month’s challenge:
- September 1 at 4 am pacific – September 25 at 11:55 pm pacific
- Design Team Hostess: Me!
- Optional Shop: Pixi Dust Designs
- Sponsored Prize by Hostess: $20 gift card to Pixi Dust Designs
Here’s how I was inspired:

My project features these products by Pixi Dust Designs:
- Reindeer Mug | die set
- Snowman Mug | die set
The sentiments are from Lawn Fawn:
- Simply Celebrate Santa | stamp
- Simply Winter Sentiments | stamp

The cardstock:
- Ballet Slipper | Concord & 9th
- Sea Glass | Concord & 9th
- Kraft | Bazzill
The ink for the sentiments is Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf. The background is by Pretty Pink Posh – Pierced Hearts | Plate Die.

I can’t wait to see how my teamies and the Guest designers were inspired, check out the post HERE.
