Snow Fun!

I am pretty sure the hubby would kill me if he knew I posted this pic, layout or no layout! We joke that he is like Chandler when the camera turns on... lol!

Little Red Wagon - Tag it!

Beautiful Christmas tags... I made these for a swap that a group of friend and I do every year!  Our wonderful host Martha (I mean Rosanne) always throws such an amazing event.

Anyway here is my tag, I hope everyone liked it! I know I love each and everyone I received.

I cut the mitten on the silhouette, embossed it, inked it, sewed on a burlap ruffle, added crocheted trim, layered on that is some jingle bells tied with rustic jute twine over a snippet of glittered wreath with some pins stuck in behind.  I created the Joy and cut it on my silhouette (so proud of myself). I added a punched snowflake and holly leaves and a little pearl! 

Make sure you head over to Little Red Wagon to play along!!

December Advent Calendars!

We have started a few new traditions at my house since having kids!  Our december to do list, Advent calendars and this year Elf on a Shelf!  Super fun!

This year though I made new "reusable" advent calendars for the kids and I had fun making and filling them.

I did make some my for nieces and nephews so if you are tackling one of these I am a pro... let's just say power tools were involved!!

Anyways here are the ones I made for my kids... Jack and Abby!


A close up of Jackon's. I used Simple Stories and tons of embellishments


A close up of Abby's. I used Aspen Frost by Basic Grey and lots of beautiful things I have been collecting!
Like the felt flower from my good friend Patricia! ( I would link her blog but she doesn't have one, crazy huh)


Some more pics of the details...




I bleached out some bottle brush trees and added little clips so i can switch out the pics as they grow!

The Scrapping Bug DT!

Just sharing my rest of my DT projects for the Month of October!

I had a lot of fun with this layout!  My new stencil, my new SC mistable feathers, my new purple mist!

An easy little card using the transparency!

I had so much fun playing with this Webseter's Pages Halloween Line!

Girly Card!

A little girly card I made with some of my DT kit from the Scrapping Bug and MFT Stamp set.

I think she turned out cute considering I have not colored in a very long time!  :)

I think some of the ladies had fun (or maybe not that much fun cause they gave up on the insides) at the crop creating them too!  :)

TSB 1 Hr Crop!

Helen hosted another 1 hr crop over at the Bug forum on Saturday night and it was just as fun as the first!

There was a sketch provided and off we went... here is my layout.

I used a MME 6x6 pad, some stampin up brads and page clip, sprinklers and mr heuy mists, thickers
a maya roads mini ticket, a studio calico wood veneer camera, a metal star from goodness knows where and my handy dandy sewing machine!

Hope you can join us for the next one!

LSC - Oops Nope!

Well today would have been a Loonie Stampers Challenge but we are taking the summer off and will be back the second week in Sept... nuttier than ever!

Here is a quick thank you card... thanks for visitng me!  :)

Super easy... and I use mists from 3 different manufactures... the grey is Mr Huey, the aqua is October Afternoon and the Orange is Maya Roads!  Love them all!

Loonie Stampers Challenge - Tulle!

Regan has requested TULLE... I have a bunch of this but never really use it.  So I had a bunch of new purchases on my desk so I decided to mix it all together!

I had ben hoarding this AC Dear Lizzy Cloud Vellum and so I decided it was perfect for these bleached out pictures. All other pattern paper behind it ruind it so I just used more vellum an some tulle for texture.  Add some mist splotches and my new embellies and done!



A close up of the vellum over tulle...


And a shot of the vellum I scored t give it some different texture...

Now let's see what the loonies came up with...

I am going to show you how to make this little mini tree ornament album! Cute huh!

You will need these supplies...

You will need to punch 20 little 3/4" circles out of paper.

The take each one and fold them up the side of the metal flower.

The glue them around the outside back of the metal flower.

Next glue the last 10 around the front onto the petals.

Next punch five 2" circles out of coordinating paper and build you mini book using a scrap piece of ribbon.

Next you can us the cropadile to punch through two holes to have the photo holders to hold your mini book in.

Finally to finish up, just decorate and bling, a bow, string and details to the cover of your mini book. Lastly don't forget to sign the back and date the year the pics are from! :)

Aren't those little metal flowers fun?
