Christmas Card Tree Ornament

Here's another cute card I made using the Big Shot Scallop Circle Die. I've popped some ribbon on the back so that it can be hung on the Christmas Tree.

Stamps: Playful Pieces (Hostess), Best Yet
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Ski Slope DSP (Retired)
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circle Die, Real Red Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds (on the star)

Christmas Card Trio

I've seen some lovely Big Shot Scallop Circle Easel Cards (wow that's a mouthful!) on SCS and other SU! Demonstrator blogs and thought it was about time I had a go myself. Quite simply, I was amazed at how easy they were!One of my favourite techniques to use this year has been the Colour Spritzer Tool. It's only $29.95 and teamed up with a $6.95 Stampin' Write Marker, creates a wonderful effect on cardstock. The kids love playing with it too (under supervision of course)!

Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet, Baroque Motifs, Music Notes Wheel, Best Yet (Retired Hostess)
Cardstock: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive
Ink: Basic Black, Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive

Children R the Reward of Life Layout

My baby had a big sleep today (and still is as I type this!) so guess what I did? Scrapbooking of course. I've really missed it so decided to treat myself while my other children have been happily playing outside.

I tried out a couple of my newest "toys" namely the Scallop Circle Bigz Die and the new Play Date Designer Paper which resulted in a very colourful double layout. I tried to make the flowers looked exactly the same as the DSP and the leaves are a small heart punch (non-SU!) cut in half. I also used my Creative Memories Cutting System for the other circles.

6x6 Scrapbook Page

I attended the Hamilton Regional Seminar a few weeks back (yes, with a baby in tow!) and I've only just had a chance to complete one of the four "make and takes" from that day. Of course, I chose the scrapbook page to do! (The photo is from my much younger and skinnier days!)

Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper:

Look What I Managed To Make!

Life certainly is busy with a newborn in the house. I spend most of my time keeping on top of the washing & dishes! I've really missed having "my crafting time" but managed to make a card & matching 6x6 page for my friend who just had a baby girl. It took me most of Saturday to make with all the interruptions! (And now it's taken me until Wednesday to blog!)
My upline Tracee Jones suggested on our team forum that instead of stamping on plain paper to make wrapping paper, she just crimps a piece of cardstock which matches the card then pops the card underneath it. Have I done it right Tracee? I think it's a cool idea being able to see the card!
Stamps: Picture This, Baroque Motifs, Curvy Verses, Every Moment
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Old Olive, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP
