A Christmas Card

Hey there friends!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and had time with family and friends!
I am sharing a Christmas card I created using a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap using My Minds Eye Cozy Christmas:


I fussy cut the wreath and flowers from one of the papers. I added some machine stitching.
Here is the sketch:



 I am happy with how this card came out and now I have a card made for next Christmas!

Joy

Hey there! Merry Christmas!
I am popping in real quick today to share a Christmas layout with you.
Have you seen all the shakers in the Creative Embellishments store? There are so many to choose from! I used the November Hip Kit Club kit:


 

I used the Joy Shaker for my title. I colored it with Lindy's mists and filled it with some beads and sequins from Buttons Galore & More. I added a fussy cut tree on top of it and a few word phrase stickers around it:

 
I colored the Christmas Holly Wreath with Lindy's mists and used it to frame the photo of my Sierra and I:

 

This wreath is just gorgeous! Here's a close up:

 

This was such a fun and happy layout to create! I love the shakers, they add so much to a layout! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Christmas Day!

Gather Family

Hey there!
I am up over at Sketches In Thyme with a family reunion layout.
I used Fancy Pants Family & Co for this layout:


I used watercolor on my background and then added layers of patterned papers and diecuts under the photo:


For my title, I used Momenta gold puffy stickers:


I used some hexagon tags from the collection instead of the arrow on the sketch. I added some machine stitching for texture:


Here is the fun sketch:


We would love to have you play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

A Christmas Layout

Hey friends!
Happy Monday! I just have to get through this week and then I am off until the new year! I am so excited to have some more me time!
I played along with the PinkFresh Studio December challenge over the weekend. I used Holiday Vibes and Sunshine Liquid Watercolor. This was the first time I used the watercolors, I am in love and need more! Here's my page:


I added strips of papers behind my photo and then matted my photo on a few papers. I popped it up with craft foam to give some dimension. For embellishments, I used the Puffy Stickers and Ephemera Pack with Gold Foil. I also added a few fussy cut circles and poinsettias. 

Here's the challenge:



Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!


Holiday Fun

Hey friends!
Today I have a layout to share for CSI case file #304 using lots of stash.


I added mists to my white cardstock background and then stamped with black Stazon ink and  Creative Embellishment's Distressed Text Stamp :


I added some ribbons and torn paper under my photo and added some stitching. I added some rub-ons, Simple Stories stickers and some old puffy stickers from my stash.  I placed a few ornaments up in the right corner:


I added a holly and berry die cut popped up with foam. I also added more rub-ons and stickers along with a poinsettia:


Here's the case file. Check out more details of it on the CSI blog or Facebook page.



Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Christmas Cards for ScraPerfect

Hey there!
I am back to share some simple Christmas cards with you using ScraPerfect products and scraps of paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Tis The Season collection:



I used the green patterned paper on both cards and then added scraps and machine stitched them together. 
I used the Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap attached to add dots of glue to the snowflake diecuts:


To add dimension to my cards, I add craft foam to the back of my sentiments. I use the Best Glue Ever to adhere it to my card: 


I place a dot of the Best Glue Ever to the center of the snowflake diecuts:


Then place an enamel dot on top of the glue using the Embellie Gellie. This tool makes placing small embellishments really easy:


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Holly Jolly

Hey there friends!

Today I am here to share a layout with you using a fun Christmas shaker from Creative Embellishments! I used the December 2018 Hip Kit Club Kit for this fun holiday page:


 

We hosted a Christmas party for our friends a few years ago and played this fun  candy cane game. I used 5 photos and grouped them together and added some diecuts around them.

 
I colored the Xmas Shaker with Lindy's mist and added some glitter shapes in red, green and gold inside the shaker. I added a diecut gift on top:

 

Here's another look at the shaker:

 

Have you tried any of the shakers in the store? There are so many to choose from! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hey there friends!
I started addressing my Christmas cards over the weekend and realized, I didn't have enough cards. So I made some more this weekend. I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap and PinkFresh Holiday Vibes for this card:


I stamped the wreath and then added a gold paper bow to it. I fussy cut the small poinsettias and added them to the wreath. 
Here's the sketch:
