Samantha shares a unique travel memory with her Travel Destination/Favorite Place inspiration today! We will let her tell you about it!

For my card, I kept the current challenge theme going by making it a tribute to Loch Ness! My family and I were so blessed to be able to go to Scotland with my grandpa to see where he was born, and to see some family we had there, for 2 weeks! We took a long trip up to the Isle of Skye (swoon, so gorgeous!) and then on the way back, we stopped at Loch Ness! I had been head over heals with Nessie since I was a girl listening to stories from my grandpa, and couldn’t imagine not stopping by to look for her!

I used the Stitched Mountain Borders to create the backdrop, and then used the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut the lake shape under the mountains! I used Distress Inks to ink blend everything! The mountains were done with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn, and the lake was done with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina!

I also used the Starry Sky Stencil to ink blend some stars in the sky, then I used it again to add some glittery stars!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice cardstock and then fussy cut it out! I also colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and fussy cut them out! Nessie is from Lovable Legends (of course!) and the trees are from Yeti, Set, Go!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration today, Samantha! I love your fun travel story!

Happy Holidays Line Border provides the holiday greeting!

Samantha C featured our sweet snow bunny from Critters in the Arctic in her lovely wintry scene! For the background she used Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop, Mini Snowflakes and birch trees from Joy to the Woods!

Jessica create a fun seaside scene for her cute puffins from our new Valentine set, Stud Puffin! She used Stitched Wave Borders and Just Stitching Hearts to complete this lovely design!

Joyce created an adorable Christmas card with the Hang in There sloth! She added fun holiday accessories from Cheery Christmas, Toboggan Together and Say What? Christmas Critters! The little birds from Open Me are ready to celebrate!

Samantha M used alcohol ink to create a frosty North Pole sky! Then she used the Snow Cool penguins, igloo and “snowpenguin” to fill the happy scene!

Franci used the blues and greens from the Inspiration Board in soft shades then added a pop of golden yellow! The Sealed with a Kiss cuties are ready for the holiday festivities!

Christy‘s card is “unbelievably” awesome! She combined critters from Lovable Legends, Yeti or Not and Believe in Yourself to create this “legendary” scene!

Karin cleverly incorporated the inspiration colors in the scarves on the Mice on Ice! Her Reveal Wheel card uses Snowfall Backdrop, Forest Border, Reveal Wheel Square Add-On and Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments!

Jenn inked up panels of white cardstock with Lawn Fawn ink in Moonstone, Forget-Me-Not and Deep Sea then used them to die cut the Stitched Snowflakes. For the background she ink-smooshed with Lawn Fawn Peacock ink then spritzed it with water mixed with Liquid Stardust! The Scripty Thanks in Cilantro cardstock adds a beautiful pop of brightness!
