Once it was dry I took the Miss Ink Stamps Halloween Heart Stencil and some Black ink and stenciled the heart onto the paper. I took the sentiment from the Miss Ink Stamps Kindred Spirits stamp set and stamped that in the middle of the heart. I took the Happy Halloween stamp and some more Black ink and stamped that above the heart. I inked the edges of the paper with Black ink and than added the paper to the card base.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this year can be a little more special and unique just like your loved ones. Or prepare for your favorite holiday in the future!

I took the Blue patterned paper and added that to the base of the card. I took the Light Aqua Glitter paper and the Lawn Fawn Winter Wonderland Window die and cut that out. I took the Aqua Brrr paper and the Lawn Fawn Winter Wonderland Window and cut that out and pieced the window together and added it to the card. I took the Cottage Cutz Snowman and a piece of Neenah Solar White paper and I cut out the snowman. I colored the hat, scarf, carrot nose, bird and twig arms with Copic markers, and pieced it together and tucked it in behind the snowflakes on the bottom of the window. I was inspired to make this card from the Inspiration Board shown below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Winter Season January 2024 </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFPP5UAVmcu-lyhayij8O56N0dtoNw_fl__bhHgN_f2m3CXm8YLO47Avvn_0yZQF8O5UfLqv2PQEmDFd9NYRWnyTpNvMEMOzRytZTr-He9Z1bfw4tBDwEzT3kxMVupA0zCvnQnLzaHqbXBrhxrR2GuiGo4RWywhLNyxpcpQ5boXI4OJpIbpRg5UeI/s742/FS%20winter%2024a2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="742" data-original-width="472" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFPP5UAVmcu-lyhayij8O56N0dtoNw_fl__bhHgN_f2m3CXm8YLO47Avvn_0yZQF8O5UfLqv2PQEmDFd9NYRWnyTpNvMEMOzRytZTr-He9Z1bfw4tBDwEzT3kxMVupA0zCvnQnLzaHqbXBrhxrR2GuiGo4RWywhLNyxpcpQ5boXI4OJpIbpRg5UeI/w408-h640/FS%20winter%2024a2.jpg" width="408" /></a></p><p><br /></p><h3>Now it is your turn to create something for this challenge!

Welcome to a new year of fun and exciting Challenges here at the <a href="https://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lasting Memories Layout Challenges</a>!! This is Lori, and for the month of January we will be doing Sketches with a Scrappy Twist.</h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"> For this week, the challenge is to use this sketch from <a href=" https://www.pagemaps.com/pagemaps" target="_blank">Page Maps</a>, and the scrappy twist is to use a punch on your layout; if you don't have any punches you can always use a die cut.
