Just A Dad and His Girl

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
I am back to share another project with you that I created for Creative Embellishments. I used a photo of Sierra and Greg from Homecoming back in 2015:

  

 I used the Just A Dad and His Girl chipboard piece for my title. I sprayed it with a Lindy's mist.

   

 On the lower left of my photo, I added lots of diecuts and tucked in some bling and a few Hearts, sprayed with the same Lindy's mist:

   

 I also added a cluster of embellishments on the upper right of my photo:  

   

I also used:

Jen Hatfield and Heidi Swapp (blue) patterned papers

Prima Crystals

Jen Hatfield Diecuts

Pink Paislee butterflies  

 I love how this page came out! And I am happy I finally have this photo scrapped as it has been sitting on my desk forever, lol! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! 

Merry Christmas!

 Merry Christmas everyone!

I have a Christmas card I created for 88 and Clear using the December mood board as inspiration:

I used a premade card base and added a layer of Sweet Pink Sugar Stock. I stamped a piece of Rich Cherry Sugar Stock with the Tight Plaid Stamp and Black Taffy Sugar Cube. 

I used Black Taffy Sugar Cube and stamped trees from Camp Out and Love Jack Stamp Sets. I stamped them on Sweet Cane and Tangy Apple Sugar Stocks and then fussy cut them out. The sentiment is from the Tag It Stamp Set. I used the Black Taffy Sugar Cube and stamped it on Powder Sugar Sugar Stock. Finally, I added watered down white paint spatters to mimic snow and added some Dazzling Pat spatters for some sparkle:

I hope each and everyone of you has the best Christmas ever!

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate you!

Farm Sweet Farm

 Hey there friends!

Today I am sharing my take on the last sketch of the year at Sketches In Thyme. I used Simple Stories Simple Vintage Farmhouse Garden for these photos Sierra took while in Germany in August:

I didn't realize these chipboard frames were so big when I ordered them, but I made it work with the sketch. I tucked one photo behind the frame and added one on top:

The sketch has 2- 4x6" photos, I usually scrap wallet sized photos, so I just added a few more photos. Sketches are used as a starting point and you can adapt them to fit the photos you are using:

I added some machine stitching and a few embellies from the Simple Stories collection:

Check out the sketch and play along with us!

Gnome For The Holidays

 Hey there!

If you know me at all, you know I love me some gnomes!  I couldn't pass up playing with the Merry Gnomes DigiNext Collection and So Merry DigiNext Collection from 88 and Clear! These gnomes are so stinkin' cute!

Here's a Christmas card I made with them:

I used Rich Cherry Sugar Stock for the card base. added a layer of patterned paper from the Merry Gnomes collection and then added a layer of Java Chip Sugar Stock. I colored the gnomes with my Caliart Markers and then fussy cut them out. I popped them up on foam to add some dimension.  I added some Rich Cactus Sugar Cube mixed with a bit of water for the spatters:

This was such a fun card to create and I just love those cute gnomes!

Hey there! 
I am back to share a few Christmas cards with you using the Winter Artist Trading Coins and Chipboard Snowflakes from Creative Embellishments:

 

 I added Gesso to the Winter Artist Trading Coins and Chipboard Snowflakes. Then I added Liquitex Glass Beads, 88 and Clear Sour Crush Sugar Drops, more Gesso and Dazzling Pat. Here's a close up:

Creative Embellishments December Challenge

 Hi everyone!

Creative Embellishments has another fun challenge this month! There is a CE gift certificate up for grabs.

This month's challenge is to be inspired by the photo and to use bling on your project. I was inspired by the colors and tree. Here's my layout:

 I painted the Ornament Frames with gold acrylic paint and tucked in some Basic Grey papers from my stash along with the Star Trees. I colored the trees with acrylic paint and a few different colors of Lindy's mists:

 I added the words "Joy", "Noel" and "Gifts" from the Christmas Sentiments. I added some Tim Holtz word phrases and some bling from my stash. 

I created a little cluster at the bottom of my page. I added a wood veneer Tree to it that I painted gold as well:

I had a blast creating this page and I am looking forward to seeing your take on the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
