I'm sure that with it being the day after Christmas, we all have a few new favorites!  Today over at SSINKspiration we are showing you a few of our favorite Stampin' Up! items!

Here is my card today...

My favorite is...

Typeset Specialty DSP

I love this DSP because of the patterns and also for the weight of it!  It's a very thin paper that is made to feel like newsprint.  You can't go wrong when creating with this DSP!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you are having a wonderfully relaxing day after Christmas!

Merry Christmas

SSINKspiration: Merry Monday

It's Merry Monday over at SSINKspiration today!  We are taking the time to show you anything that we are creating with Christmas in mind!

Today I'm showing you out count down chain!

It seems like just yesterday that this chain was 25 links long.  Where has the time gone?!?!

I wanted to make our chain CUTE this year so I thought that we would use a pack of Stampin' Up! DSP.  We chose the Trim the Tree DSP Stack from the Holiday Catalog.

The size is perfect for paper chains!  I cut 1" x 6.5" strips and then we glued them together!  

So simple that even my two little cuties could help!  And they LOVE to rip off the links and count down the days!  Just 3 more!!

It may be a little late to make a fun chain to count down to Christmas BUT...there are other things that you can count down too, I'm sure!  Vacataions, Birthdays, Anniversaries...AND there are plenty of Stampin' Up! DSP Designs to match each occasion!
