WMS September Release Day Two

Morning all! Thank you for all of your wonderful comments on yesterday's post (I'll post the chocolate zucchini cake recipe next week!) - you are all so sweet.

Welcome to Day 2 of the September Release previews at Waltzingmouse Stamps. Today we are sharing previews of Say It Loud: Winter Holiday. Oh yes, you heard me right! If you loved the original version (I did) then you will really love this next installment (and I do)!!

The name says it all: fantastic build-your-own phrase options for autumn and winter occasions featuring a gorgeous font and endless possibilities! Let me show you.

Oh, that font! Swoon-worthy, don't you think? Also a perfect way to combine today's Friends of WMS Waltz and this week's sketch challenge!

I combined this set with images from yesterday's A Cottage Home (and another new set we'll be previewing tomorrow) to create a spooky scene for Halloween! Nothing like some well-placed cobwebs (I drew them in myself with a Copic multiliner) to take a nice house to something a little haunted!

And another card for today that I must admit I love. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Here I combined two of the large script font words, but just like Say It Loud, the Winter Holiday version also has loads of complimentary words in a smaller size. You can combine them all for about a million different occasions. Trust me when I say this set goes beyond just Halloween and Christmas! I can't wait to play around more with some phrase building - I've just scratched the surface!

Here is a list of the other DT ladies sharing previews today. I can't wait to check out what amazingness they have been up to!




Don't rush away just yet! Here are the waltz details: if you want to waltz along with us and you haven't yet linked up your project, head to the link list thread in the WMS Forum to link up your creation and view the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen. This month a random waltz participant will be chosen to receive a prize.

Don't forget about the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge either! Whew, its a busy day! Take care!

Anya

    Both your cards are just super. I love the spooky scene you've built up with the cottage, gate, cobwebs - fab! Your Christmas Greetings card is gorgeous - lovely traditional colours and super papers. Great cards!

    I love your cards. The fence on the Halloween card is very intriguing to me. Then On the Christmas card I love how you used the baker's twine. I have not used twine but this makes me want to try it. Thanks!

    Great Halloween card with the house Anya - at first I was wondering if I'd missed a little cob web stamp in the set!! a great addition!

    and your holiday card is lovely with the pretty papers, subtle foliage stamping and snowflake!

    Both of those cards are wonderful, the Halloween card is so dark and ominous, yet yesterdays images of the house are warm and cozy, just showing the versatility of the set. I love that Say it Loud font and it will make a beautiful focal point on a card without having to stamp another thing! I love that houndstooth felt on the Halloween card, I noticed it immediately!

    Falling off your chair hurts, OW! 'Cause that's exactly what I did when I saw your haunted house card! The cobwebs! The coloring! The spooky fence! And your Christmas card is perfection, too. LOVE the way you made the pine bough fade into the background. AWESOMELY ANYA this post is!
