Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday! Today I have something different for you, no card to share today. I was asked a few weeks back by David from ThermoMorph to do a review. The product sounded pretty interesting so I agreed. ThermoMorph, what is that you ask? Well ThermoMorph are moldable plastic pellets made out of polymorph granules.  Here is what it says on the company website about it: Thermomorph is an amazing new moldable plastic compound that can be used in numerous different ways. Hack things, fix things, make things and sculpt things, with Thermomorph it’s all possible. It’s super easy to use, boil a kettle of water and pour some into a bowl, sprinkle the required amount into the water and wait until it turns clear. Once clear Thermomorph becomes pliable for around two minutes, mold into the desired shape using your hands or tools and then wait to cool to room temperature at which point it sets rock hard again. The price for it is MSRP $19.95 and

Happy Black Friday Everyone! I hope you all here in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Are you going to do some Black Friday shopping? I know I wont go anywhere today - LOL. I never go out on Black Friday. I just don't like crowds and crazy shopping people. I'm planning on doing all my Christmas decoration inside the house today and get me my poinsettias tomorrow for my outside decorations. Today a new Graph' It Color Challenge starts and the theme this week is Vintage and Polka Dots. Show us your vintage creations incorporating polka dots. And this is what I came up with: This cute guy is called Snowy and can be found on the Polkadoodles 'A Home For Christmas' CD . The list of markers I've used is posted beneath the next photo. Sentiment and snowflake die is from Whimsy. The little wooden snowflakes are from Prima's Junkyard Findings collection. Flowers are from WOC and Prima. The Weathered Clock die is from Sizzix by Tim

How about some freshly bloomed flowers in bright colors with a heavenly scent? Do you grow Christmas Hyacinths? When I was a kid my mom always started them in September so they would be in full bloom around Christmas time. The hyacinth bulbs where sitting in - actually on top of - special bowls full of water. I remember she used special paper cones in bright colors to cover the bulbs during the first weeks.  My favorite hyacinth color always was violet. When I saw this beautiful Hyacinth image, called Julhyacint from Momas lil' shop of stamps I knew I gonna color it in violet shades. It's available as digital stamp. Another CAS card here. I colored using Derwent Inktense pencils. I love the brilliant intense colors of these ink-like watercolor pencils and the fact that they are permanent when dry. Also that they can be used in both ways, with and without water! I used them as watercolor pencils. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunda

Like the last two days there will also be a prize hidden somewhere along the way. For all the details on the new stamps, the hop and prizes please visit the Whimsy Inspirations Blog HERE . For my blog hop card today I used *New* 'Baby It's Cold Outside' from the Time 4 Tea Designs  collection. This card today is the complete opposite from what I did on Tuesday...LOL. I kept the card really Clean & Simple and only embellished it with a Sparkle Burst Brad from Karen Forster Designs. The image was colored with the new Graph'It markers (see list of colors below) and the sentiment is from the Winter Letter Seals stamped with Memento Teal Zeal. To give it a lille more bling I've added Stickles 'Stardust' and 'Turquoise'
