naughty or nice?

Happy Christmas day! This is a fun page today I made in between binge watching Netflix. Love having the holiday off work!

This is me & my puppy last night on Christmas Eve. I found this cut file at Spiegelmom Scraps and it's free! I filled it up with some Country Christmas + Holly Berries sequins.

flannel forever.

Merry Christmas!

This morning I made a layout using this 'flannel forever' cut file I found at Paper Issues. I cut it from some buffalo plaid 6x6 paper and added a whole bunch of fun Christmas embellishments to my page. I was inspired by the Remember December challenge at Paper Issues this month!

December Scrap Our Stash Blend a Sketch challenge.

I truly did a stash busting layout here. I have only three papers from this collection, but they're beautiful and I've been hoarding them.  I also pulled random stickers of all sorts from my stash and stuck them on this page.

I combined the two sketches by using the bigger photos and layers from the left sketch + the lower photo cluster from the right sketch. I kept my title placement and journaling similar to the left sketch. I noticed the sketch on the left has a tag so I used tags as one of my three elements. I found THIS free cut file at Paper Issues to make my tags. I also used three black heart stickers and three butterflies on pop dots.

At our wedding we did the anniversary dance; it's one of my favorite parts of any wedding I've ever attending. It goes something like this: The DJ calls all the married couples onto the dance floor and after a few minutes, the DJ has anyone married less than 5 hours sit down (that's us!). Then after a few more minutes he says anyone married less than one year, sit down. Then after a few more minutes he says anyone married less than five years, sit down. So he goes every few minutes having couples married less than X years sit down. At the end you're left with a couple who have been married 62 years (my husband's paternal grandparents). It's SO cool and I'm so glad we got to honor ALL of the married couples at our wedding.

 Thanks so much for looking!

One more page finished for the weekend. I think this one makes ten pages in four days, which is pretty dang awesome for me! This will be the title page in the 8.5x11 album I'm making for my brother and his girlfriend for Christmas this year.

I'm using all of the Midnight collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio + the coordinating Pick Your Plum sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. Confession: I've gone through two packs of them this weekend!

My page is based off the 'star' challenge at Paper Issues this month and obviously I chose to make a star shaker with one of the FREE cut files from Paper Issues. Thanks for looking!

believe.

Another page for the 8.5 x 11 album I'm making my brother and his fiancee for Christmas. I'm running out of time!

This was inspired by the Take 5 Challenge at Paper Issues this month. I used: gold, chipboard, stickers, cut file, patterned paper, and label. Making Christmas layout is so fun and easy - the colors and collections all look good together!

My cut file is from Paper Issues and of course I made it into a little shaker with some Holly Berries sequins. These are currently out of stock, but you can check the box to get notified when they're back in stock. 

Thanks for looking!

under the tree.

I feel like I've been MIA for a while! I've gotten a lot done scrappy-wise today, but it's for a ton of projects I can't share until January :)

So tonight I worked on this scraplift challenge Paper Issues has this month. I love the idea of piling all these layers of embellishments along one side of your page. It's such a great idea to use up some older stash or some smaller pieces and still make an impact.

This is my cousin's son taking a nap under their tree :) Thanks for looking!

December Golden Globe challenge at Scrap Our Stash!

Hi guys! Today I'm sharing my page for the Golden Globe challenge at Scrap Our Stash, which is to create a winter layout using snowflakes.

I decided to use a cut file to cut snowflakes from my background and then make a giant shaker.

I used foam tape and some packaging I had laying around to make my shaker. The sequin mixed I used was Sunny Winter from Spiegelmom Scraps.

Thanks for looking!
