For her final stint as hostess, Patricia wants us to play with a Previous Colour Combo. It can be from this year or from any of our past challenges. Just go through our Color Combos Archive and take your pick.
I went way back in the annals history to September 2012. It seems like a life time ago. I picked this combo for 2 reasons:
1. I couldn't say NO to those yummy gingerbread men; and
2. I won Top Honours for my project with this colour combo.
Back then I never imagined that one day I'd be on the team with these super talented ladies. I remember squealing down the telephone to my husband with the news. He was my BIGGEST fan then ... and still is.
Anyways, enough gushing. Here is my creation for 2014.
![]() |
I'm using all Waltzing Mouse stamps for this card. The greeting is from Say It Loud- Winter Holiday. I stamped Christmas with VersaColor Scarlet and Yummy Wishes with Memento Rich Cocoa. |

The basket and gingerbread men are from WMS Bountiful Basket Additions. I coloured with Graph It markers and tied some red and white twine. There's also a solitary red bling... can you spot it? For cutting and layering I used SB Circle and Scalloped Circle dies. I embossed the white circle with the Swiss Dots folder ans inked the edge with TH Vintage Photo. |

I stamped random stars from the A Cottage Christmas set with VersaColor Cocoa. Christmas isn't complete without stars ... or gingerbread men. I inked the edges very lightly with TH Barn Door. |

The sentiment is also from the A Cottage Christmas set, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. |
