Frosted Layout

During this time of the year, it can be really hard to carve out time to create.  But if you are anything like me, you NEED to stop and make something...anything.  I have been looking at a picture of Shane that we took on Thanksgiving, and I knew that was the one I wanted to scrap.

I based this loosely on the sketch from Stuck on U for this layout.  This page actually came together pretty quickly with the Artbooking cartridge.  The snowflake overlay game me a good background as well as extra snowflakes to complete the page.  I finished it off by adding loads of bling around the snowflakes.  This is Frosted paper, and I know you've hear me say it before, but this is just lovely paper!

Tomorrow is a day filled with house cleaning, wrapping, and cooking.  I would venture to say that many of you are doing some of those same things!  What a blessed time of the year this is when we can look forward to time with family and friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

Uniquely Folded - January 2014 Card Kit

NOTE:  This kit is SOLD OUT!!

It's time to introduce my new card kit program for 2014!  

It will be called "Uniquely Folded" and every month in 2014, I will bring you a simple card kit with a new type of card.  I make a lot of cards with fun folds, and I would like to start teaching you how to make them!

In January, Uniquely Folded will teach you the joy fold card:

The kit will be pre-cut, pre-stamped and will include instructions, 3 yards of baker's twine hemp,12 gems, and kraft envelopes.  I've used 6 different stamp sets to complete these cards.  The cost of the kit is $7.00, and I will take orders until January 1st.  I will mail all the kits out the first week of the new year.  

You can order below or ask to be put on a subscription.  If you subscribe to my kit, you will receive an automatic invoice right around the 1st of each month.  That way you don't have to worry about missing any kits!

Thanks so much for stopping today, and I hope that your week if full of many blessings!

All Bundled Up

I have been busy making some Christmas items for a local Boutique, and this is one of the items I will have for sale.  I love making our bracket frames!  I used Frosted paper and stickease to complete the frame. I sanded down the edges of everything to make it look a little wintery.  I cut the paper for the frame with the Art Philosophy (it fits perfectly!), and I cut the poinsettias with the Artiste.  The twine is has got a metallic line in it, and I pulled it from my stash.  When I had everything clustered where I wanted it, I finished it off with some Stardust Glitter Gel.  

I think I will enter this into some challenges:

Papercraft Star - Photo Inspiration

Shopping Our Stash - Holiday/Winter

Fantabulous Cricut - Beyond Red and Green

Heart 2 Heart - All Framed Up

Love to Create - Holiday Gift/3-D Project

Thanks for stopping in today, and may your day be full of blessings!

Artiste Gift Bag

Every once in awhile we need a quick gift bag, and that's what I wanted to show you today.

I cut this bag using the Artiste cartridge.  How easy and quick is that?!  I used Sparkle & Shine paper with a little silver wired ribbon and gems from my stash.   The sentiment is from the Frosted card-making workshop stamp set, and it has easily been my favorite set this season!

Thanks so much for stopping in today!  I hope that today is a wonderful day for you!

We had our first snowfall this morning, and it was really so pretty!  So I decided to pull out my Frosted paper again and create a Christmas card.  I used the lovely sketch from Filipinos Scrapbookers.

I've used the Classic Doily stamp for the focal point, and the sentiment is from Yuletide Greetings.  The snowflakes were cut using the Artbooking cartridge.  Let me tell you, that is a cartridge that every household needs.  It has such wonderful cuts, and I love the intricacy of the snowflakes.  Because of those flakes, I added just a little piece of delicate lace.  Of course every Christmas card needs bling, so I pulled out some trinkets pins and gems from my stash.

Thanks for stopping in today and have a most blessed day!

Light in the Soul

Th Stamp of the Month, Illuminate, has so many pretty lanterns that are fun to use.  But I when I read the sentiments, I knew that they would go along perfectly with the church in the Christmas Village set.

The peacefulness of Frosted paper along with Champagne paper and ink seemed the right fit to go along with these two stamps.  The result is a very serene monochromatic card.

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope that your Monday is blessed!

Christmas in July

It's pretty hot and humid here in Minnesota today, so it was a pleasure to pull out the new winter paper that will be released on August 1st.  I grabbed the Mojo Monday sketch, and did a little work with Frosted.  

If you read my blog, you will know by looking at it, that this WILL be one of my favorites!  I love the soft muted tones of the paper.  The color ready ribbon inked with cashmere was a really nice match.

I am also going to enter this into:

• The Paper Players (Christmas in July)
• Simply Create Too (Christmas in July)
• City Crafter (Photo Inspiration)
