Holiday Program 2013

 

 

My granddaughter Abby just entered kindergarten and had her Holiday Program a couple of weeks ago.  I made this page for her scrapbook using this sketch #47 from Sketch-N-Scrap:

 

 

I am also entering this layout in the Scrap Our Stash Sketch With Stash challenge.  Nearly everything on the page is at least a year old with the exception of the Lawn Fawn flair. I had to use 2 border punches so I used the large double scallop punch and the notebook edge punch.  For my third and other type of punch I used a corner rounder.

 

Thanks for checking out my blog...hope you are enjoy the holiday season.

Artful Delight Card Kit -- Live Well

 

I love the Paper Smooches stamp set that is included in the December Artful Delight Card Kit.  I used 2 sentiments on this card from 2 different Paper Smooches sets.  I rarely make New Year's cards but I love the idea.  New Year's is such a wonderful holiday....a brand new year to make new memories, needed changes and start off with a clean slate.

 

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you who stop by my blog and check out my creations....my you have a wonderful and prosperous new year.

Last Minute Gift Tags

 

Hello and Merry Christmas Eve eve!!  Tonight I am sharing some last minute gift tags I made this weekend. I started making Christmas gift tags a few years ago when I unexpectedly ran out of tags during a marathon gift wrapping session. I went into my craft room, pulled out my bucket of Christmas scraps and whipped up some really cute tags with just my leftover embellishments and scraps. I haven’t bought a package of tags since!  I love to layer on the bling too!  It is easy peasy and everyone loves to receive something personalized.  So go ahead and try it….make some tags!

PS I plan to save some of my favorites that I made for my husband and incorporate them later in my pocket page and traditional layouts.

 

I am entering this in Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Bling it On challenge.

Gift Bag and Matching Card

It tool me awhile but I finally found an awesome nail technician for my manicures and pedicures.  To show my appreciation to her I made a gift bag and matching card for her and filled it with Godiva chocolates and a wonderful smelling candle.

 

 

I found a brand new opened white ink pad in my stash that gave me the PERFECT chalkboard look for my sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Jingle All the Way set from My Craft Spot.  I LOVE there sentiment stamps set....you get so many different sentiments in each set....it really is quite the bargain.  I am entering this project in Kimberly's Wrap It Up Challenge on the My Craft Spot blog.  You can see the details and enter your own project by going HERE.

 

I am also entering this gift bag in Simon Says Stamp's Monday challange to Stamp Out 2013.



 

I used the Christmas Cheer collection from Imaginisce for the papers, snowflake die cut and the stacked sticker on the card. I just love the fun colors of this collection.  Sadly, I have almost used every bit of this collection except for a few large die cuts.

 

Well we are off to my in-laws to celebrate Christmas with them....my packages are nearly all wrapped and the Christmas projects/baking done.  Now it is time to relax and enjoy the next few days.

 

Merry Christmas!

JOY -- Artful Delight December card kit

 

Polka dots, chevron flair, rustic wood planking patterned paper...the December Artful Delight card kit has some of my very favorite items to create with.  The cardstock is thick and high quality.  You not only get a huge quantity of products in each kit, you get high quality and the newest trendy products.  That's a lot of bang for the buck.  And everything is so beautifully coordinated.  This card came together very quickly.....no more rummaging through 6 drawers to find the perfect ribbon or embellishment.  So what are you waiting for?  Sign up HERE today for a new subscription or pick up some recent kits.  You won't be sorry.

I am entering this is the Scrapping 4 Fun Anything Goes Challenge which you can see by clicking HERE

Happy Christmouse

 

 

 

This photo for the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect challenge has really inspired me today.  I love the red and white color combo with the splash of gray.  It inspired me to create this tag:

 

I added the strip of red to mimic the red ribbon streamers in the inspiration photo.  The grey tag is a recycled tag from something at work.  This stamp from Paper Smooches Santa Paws stamp set had never been inked up....how could that happen???  It is so dang CUTE.  I paper pieced the little Santa hat on the mouse because it just added to the cuteness factor.

 

In addition to the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect challenge I am also entering this cute tag in

CAS-ual Friday's Let it Snow challenge.

 

Thanks for dropping in...enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Fleas Navidad

 

In honor of all the snow they are getting today up north in my hometown, I have decided to have a snow day today here in Florida. It's flannel jammies and slippers, hot chocolate and papercrafting along with some Christmas gift wrapping while listening to Christmas music. I be a happy girl.  This is my first project that I completed before 10am this morning.

 

 

 

I decided to make another project for the Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect challenge.  I just ADORE this stamp and sentiment and had to make this Christmas card for my niece who runs her own pet-sitting service.  I used the Santa Paws stamp set and the color combo from this inspiration photo:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and if it is cold and snowy where you are I hope you get to stay inside and enjoy it from the warmth of your home.
