Mama Elephant December Stampede

You know it's a happy Monday here because I want to welcome you to Mama Elephant's December Stampede! Plus, there's a giveaway! Just comment for a chance to win a Mama Elephant gift certificate. A winner will be announced on Wednesday, 12/5 on the Mama Elephant blog.

If you've come from Mariana Grigsby's blog, you're right on track. If you're lost, start the blog hop at the beginning -- the Mama Elephant blog.

I created a notebook for all my December checklists. Since the holidays are a busy time, I need a little jotter to go everywhere with me for my notes and lists. The stamped cover is made to look like a train ticket with a faux envelope button and loop. To create the tracks, I used the arrows from the On Target stamp set. To create the button and clasp, I used the No Peeking stamp set. And the title was stamped using the Midnight Letters stamp set.

Materials used: Mama Elephant Midnight Letters, On Target, No Peeking; CTMH Inks, twine

A closer look: I love how I can spell anything I want with these awesome Midnight Letters. All you have to do is line your letters up on an acrylic block and the rest is easy. I love the positive and negative letters that can be mixed and matched.

Your next stop is the super talented JJ Bolton. Just in case you're lost, be sure to start at the Mama Elephant blog!

Mama Elephant Giveaway & Highlight: Cup of Wishes

Wedding Wednesday will return next week!

Today, I've got another Mama Elephant highlight for you. Remember, the November release goes on sale tomorrow, November 15th, with a full reveal of each set.

We're giving away a Cup of Wishes stamp set and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. One winner will be randomly chosen from all of the Design Team's blogs and the will be announced on the Mama Elephant blog tomorrow, November 15th.

The Mama Elephant Cup of Wishes stamp set is adorable. When I saw it, I knew I had to make a shadowbox for my kitchen wall. The typographical treatment on "warm" is so pretty and the perfectly fitted sentiment "and cozy" gives the collage shadowbox just the right touch. I wanted to create a cute collage using the cups to represent my coffee-drinking husband and my tea-drinking self sitting on a kitchen table. How'd I do? I love it!

Materials used: Mama Elephant Cup of Wishes, CTMH ink, Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black

Mama Elephant Giveaway & Highlight: No Peeking

Good morning! Did you have a look at the Mama Elephant blog yesterday for the November release sneak peeks?  The stamp sets go on sale on November 15th.

But today, we're giving away a No Peeking stamp set. Comment for a chance to win. One winner will be randomly chosen from all of the Design Team's blogs. A winner will be announced on the Mama Elephant blog on November 15th.

I made a set of gift tags ready to be tied to holiday gifts. The tag shape is perfect for making tags. I loved coloring the reindeer, polar bear, and fox. How cute are they!?!! I then cut them out using my trusty craft knife and stamped little "Made with Love" signs and secured both to each tag using foam dots to give the tags dimension. Simple, fun, and cute!

Materials used: Mama Elephant No Peeking, Knot & Bow gold twine, Adirondack ink, Copic markers, Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black

Don't forget to stop by the Mama Elephant blog to see what the rest of the design team created. Plus, we've got a special guest designer today, so go and check out all the inspiration now!
