My white layer is shimmery white cardstock run through the big shot with the petals aplenty embossing folder. I then stamped the holy wreath in the center (leaves inked with old olive, berries with real red) then stamped Merry Christmas inside that. This is layered on Old Olive and a Real Red card with some old olive taffeta ribbon.
I decided to use our new Snowbunny stamp. I love how quick and easy he is to color, and how adorable he looks! I got me some Eskimo Kisses paper at my LSS (Memories Live On) and was dying to use it! Aren't these colors just gorgeous??? And with that beautiful May Arts Satin Ribbon? I love it!
I think next time I'll have to paper piece his scarf - it's just too cute!! Have a wonderful Wednesday, and keep on a hoppin' along to Jackie - your next stop on this Prettie Wednesday!
I decided to make Kristy a cake for her birthday, and since it's a December birthday, what better than a beautiful Christmas Cake? I couldn't resist using some old Basic Gray Fruitcake papers and last week's Mojo Monday sketch (of course, I noticed after I finished and looked at the sketch again that I got the ribbon in the wrong place - oh well!) I used the cake from our new Time for Cake set. I love how you can decorate the cake however you want.
I added some bling to the flower centers, punched the sentiment from Make a Wish and finished the card off. I hope you like it Kristy!! Now hop along and see what Jackie's got for you all to see!
I used Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive ink and a sponge to stencil the ornament and swirls...then I spnged a little champagne mist on for some shimmer. I inked up the sentiment stamp with True Thyme, adding a little red for the berries. I also sponged some Thyme around the edges and adhered the ribbon before mounting the 4 1/8" by 5 3/8" card onto a quarter sheet of true thyme.
For this project I wanted to try out our newest snowman set, Joyful Heart. Isn't he fabulous?? So much amazing detail to color in (or not as your preference may be!) I only used 5 different Copics to color him in (sorry, i don't have the numbers handy!) and boy did I get lucky to have some new DP that matched perfectly!
I added a photo of Julia that was taken our first winter in Germany at a nordic skiing race they hold in the city every year. Now, it doesn't usually snow much up around Dusseldorf, so they actually manufacture all the snow needed for the race, as well as plenty of snow for the kids to play in including some skiing, sledding, and more! I finished the page off with one of the sentiments from this great set, and an old SU! felt snowflake topped with a button and some embroidery floss.
Now hop on over to Jackie's to see what wonderfulness she has for us all today, and when you reach the end, get to work on your own scrapbook page!!
Of course I wanted to use one of our brand new sets for this fun sketch, so I used Apple of my Eye. I love these adorable little apples with their patches, and have seen some amazing creations with this set from other Pretties.
I've been loving my old Bella Rose papers lately (almost out, gonna cry when I use the last scrap I think!!!) and thought they would work well with this image. I really love this sketch, and think I'll be using it again and again - thanks Frances!!!
As usual, I used my copics to color these little apples in, and cut out the layers with my nesties. I used an SU! punch for the side tabs...and even included a brad in each.
On this adorable little mailbox from the upcoming Unknown Blessings set from Paper Pretties! Can't you just see this somewhere that usually doesn't get much snow, thus the flower at the base...with an unexpected dusting making everything sparkle? I was so excited to finally use my flowersoft...Winter Wonderland gave me the perfect excuse! I also used this last Monday's Mojo Monday sketch...LOVED it!!
