Spring into Christmas 2026

Welcome to Build Your Stash Spring into Christmas Linky Party! Let the creativity of the next eight days inspire your creativity and get you in the mood for some holiday cards. This is the time of year where Christmas is the furthest from our mind. In our house we are swapping out our winter clothes for spring and summer items and talking of turning down the heat. These are the days when you need the heat on to chase the chill from the air, but don't need it by the time lunch comes around. Crocus and daffodils are blooming in every year.  Robins are nesting and many animals are coming out of hibernation. 

I'm excited to be back after a prolonged absence. To help spur my creativity, I have went back and selected some of my favorite sketches and used those to create my cards over the next eight days. Life hasn't slowed down, but my busy-ness has shifted into different directions. Sketch challenges were always the best way for me to get the juices flowing. I hope that you will play along with us!    





I have utilized a past sketch that gave me fits when I first attempted it. Once I figured it out it has been a fun favorite! I especially love the two for one that you get with this design.

  3. I remember that sketch, Eileen! Still have some paper layouts to help me get the cuts right. It's become one of my favorites, too. Love your card and paper choices! Thanks for the reminder about using those sketches again!
