Happy 2016!

Yikes - I didn't realize it has been so long since I've posted! I meant to post some pictures of my Christmas cards...but obviously that never happened! :)

I thought I'd share a project that I did yesterday using CTMH's My Creations Mini Folio. This was my first mini folio project, despite the fact that I bought them when they first came out (last year?) I'm a bit of a procrastinator.

I used the Sunny Side 6x6 paper pad by Pebbles Inc. I used a variety of embellishments from CTMH and Michaels. Some of the embellishments are oldies, and I threw out the packaging ages ago, so I really don't have any idea who created them!







This was such a quick and easy project. It only took the morning, working at a slow pace. The bases were all cut at 3.75" square, and I used the leftover scraps to add the layers on the pages.

I love the colours of this paper pack. Makes me think of summer and happiness!

Happy Monday! :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle

I reworked the card a bit. Added a bigger circle and moved the flower down. I think they both look good. Just playing around with the design a little more.
