hello traditions.

Sharing a layout with my Christmas puppies! This is our tradition every year - they have to pose in front of the tree. Don't worry, they're paid well with treats :)

This page was inspired by the sparkle and shine challenge at The Studio.

We're in the middle of below freezing temperatures so I'm trying to re-live some fun stuff from this summer. I pulled out some photos from our June zoo trip + the Oh Happy Life collection from Amy Tangerine.

I used sketch 305 at Sketches in Thyme for this page. Thanks for looking!

Congratulations on Your News!

Hello! I have a new card to share with you today!

I made this card using the Cupcake Cutie stamp set from Skipping Stones Designs. This is not just a birthday stamp set - this sentiment I used today is for a congratulations card.

I chose a stencil that reminded me of sprinkles and used distress ink blending to create the background. Then I printed my digital cupcake stamp and fussy cut it onto some patterned papers. The sentiment was printed directly onto the card. I adhered the cupcake with foam adhesive so it stands out a little bit.

Now I'm craving cupcakes!

supplies
stencil: Hero Arts
ink: Tim Holtz distress ink (picked raspberry; worn lipstick; festive berries)

soaking up the season.

This year there was a Chriskindlmarkt nearby that I wanted to check out. It ended up being a great night weather-wise because we didn't freeze and there was no snow. The event itself was a bust.

I used a sketch from the Sketch N Scrap Be Merry & Bright Facebook crop event. I rotated the sketch so my page looks a little different.This is how I used the sketch:

and here's my page:

Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!

right now.

In October, one of my friends from college got married at the country club in the town where her parents live. I've never been there before and the weather was perfect for an October evening. The leaves were changing, the sun was warm, and it could not have been a better place for her wedding.

I used Sketch N Scrap sketch #142 for this page.

Thanks for looking!

Aden & Santa.

I had a chance to play with some more Christmas goodies. Honestly, this is a mix of many holiday items that are mostly older lines.

My cousin posted this photo of her son with Santa a few weeks ago and I just love their faces. I used the Let's Get Sketchy Dec 1 sketch for this one. Thanks for looking!

If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

I'm sharing a card at Skipping Stones Designs today. I made this card using The Fisherman stamp set. It isn't in the store currently, but check back!

I am using the digital version of this stamp set, so I printed the sentiment on my background cardstock. Then I colored the cooler of beer with my Copic markers and fussy cut it.

I used distress ink blending to color my clouds, which are from a Hero Arts stencil. I attached them to my card with foam adhesive.

Thanks for looking!

We had a mini photo shoot at the end of November for our Christmas cards this year. Normally I just use a fun photo of us with the dogs, so I'm not sure why I wanted to spend all the extra money on professional photos this year, but we got a few good ones.

I'm using the tic tac toe challenge at Lasting Memories + the sketch challenge at Sketch N Scrap's Merry & Bright Crop. That 12x12 background patterned paper is vintage 2015 Elle's Studio!

Thanks for looking :)

I made this page, inspired by the Scrap the Boys December challenge. I've seen several pages like this floating around recently and I like the idea of using scraps.

Halloween.

I don't have children, but that doesn't mean I don't have fun for Halloween:)

I made a pocket page with the Halloween journal tags from Elle's Studio. Pocket style pages are hard to photograph!

What's a celebration without some wine? Am I right?!

I made a wine tag that's really pretty simple to just slap on a bottle of wine and use as a gift for holiday parties this year :)

I die cut my tag and then used one of the stamps from Text Melange to heat emboss on the background. The heat embossing powder I used is called Christmas Lights and it's a great mix of green, red, and gold.

Next I heat embossed some snowflakes and the sentiment from the Winter Mix It Up stamp set.

Make sure to head on over to Leslie next!!

[Paper Wings Productions] Cocoa Warms the Heart!

Today I'm sharing this card I made using Play with your Coffee and Frothy Concoctions stamp sets at Paper Wings Productions. 

The first thing I did was run my background through my Grand Calibur. I chose this layered heart embossing folder because I knew my sentiment would be 'cocoa warms the heart' from the Frothy Concoctions stamp set. I watercolored the background with distress inks.

I stamped my coffee cup from the Play with Your Coffe stamp set onto patterned paper and fussy cut it. I stamped some marshmallows on white cardstock and fussy cut those before adding them to my cup with foam adhesive.

Then I adhered my cup of cocoa to my embossed heart background.

Thanks for looking!
