Happy Holidays- Creative Embellishments

 Hey there Creative Friends!

Today I am sharing a Christmas layout of my kids using a paper pad from Recollections and some fun holiday themed chipboard from Creative Embellishments:

I added strips of patterned papers to my white textured cardstock background. Then machine stitched them. I added some watercolor splotches and spatters. I colored the Whimsical Trees with ink and then clear heat embossed them. I added one to each side of my photo, tucking the one on the right underneath the photo:

I used the Happy Holidays chipboard piece for my title. I heat embossed it and placed it on the trees above my photo. I fussy cut the bird and cut snowman:

I head embossed the Prancing Deer and added them to the right of the photo. I tucked in a few fussy cut gifts:

I colored the Mini Light Strand 3 with a Sharpie and a Nuvu marker and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I liked the colors, but wanted to add a shine to it. I fussy cut the snowman and the word blessed:

I added a few word phrases from Tim Holtz. I also added another fussy cut snowman and some gifts:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Easter Egg Hunt

 Hello!

Today I am sharing my layout that I created for CSI case file #385 using lots of stash:

I used the sun ray stencil from Heidi Swapp along with Distress Oxide Inks and October Afternoon mist splatters on my background. I used papers from Echo Park and Bella Blvd to layer around and under my photo. I used acrylic paints and mists to color the Easter Basket and Eggs from Creative Embellishments. I fussy cut the banner and bunny from the papers. the 2012 sticker is from JilliBean Soup. On the top of my photo, I added the "today" label from Pink Paislee

I believe the journal card is from JilliBean. I fussy cut the scalloped border, trees and butterflies from Echo Park papers. I added some Tim Holtz word phrase sticker:

For my title, I used these alphas: Hip Kit Club (pink), Cocoa vanilla (blue) and Autentique (yellow). I placed a word phrase sticker from JilliBean under the title. I used a JilliBean label under the "egg hunt" letters:

I love that I used all stash on this page and it still looks current!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
