All I Want For Christmas Is You!

Hello everyone!  Happy Wednesday!  The countdown has begun...only 1 more week until Christmas :)

Week 42

Happy Saturday!  I'm here today sharing my PL spread for Week 42 on the Chic Tags blog using the Exclusive October Kit and a few items from some of their new collections.

Those fabulous gold foil letters are from the new Good Tidings Collection and are perfect for ANY layout or PL spread.

The stamps in the Exclusive October Kit were one of my favorite sets of all time, especially the "Happy Little Mess" phrase that I used on the photo of my daughter all bundled up for colder weather.

I placed one of the cute flair buttons from the kit on the bicycle journaling card and added a clear tag from the Happy Place Collection on top.

Left Side:

I love that the journaling cards from the kit and the Happy Place Collection coordinated so well, which made it really easy to pull my spread together.

I used the "This Right Here" rub-on from the Happy Place Collection in the above photo.  They go on really easily and are the perfect touch to any project!

And here's a look at my full spread for Week 42...

Chic Tags Used: Exclusive October Kit, Happy Place (Cards, "Photo"Acrylic Stamp, Mini Icons, Rub-Ons, Clear Acetate Tags, Crisp Air Patterned Paper), Good Tidings (Gold Foil Letter Stickers), Schoolhouse (Photo Toppers, Label Stickers)

Challenge Sunday: Sketch It Out

Hello and happy Sunday!

There's a new sketch challenge up on the Chic Tags blog today!

Here's my take....

I stuck very close to Ashley's sketch and was really inspired by all of the wonderful new Chic Tags products that are available in the shop and used them on this layout.

I cut out the "Hooray For _______" piece from the 4x6 card that can be found in the October Exclusive Kit and added the gold letters from the Good Tidings Collection on top.  I love the font and size of those letters...perfect for any layout!

I also used paper from the new Schoolhouse and Happy Place Collections and I have to say the quality is amazing!  It's the thickest paper I've ever worked with!

Chic Tags Used:  October Exclusive Kit, Schoolhouse (House Lessons Patterned Paper), Happy Place (Phrases, Clear Acetate Tags, Book Worm & Crisp Air Patterned Paper), Good Tidings (Frost Patterned Paper, Gold Foil Letter Stickers)

Now it's your turn to play along and show us your take on the sketch!  Just leave a link to your layout in the comments section here by Noon on Saturday, November 3, 2013 and get a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Chic Tags store.  Good luck and have a great day!

Sweet Little Moments Mini Album

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend :)  

I'm sharing this adorable mini album I made using the super cute Oh Baby! Collection on the Chic Tags blog today...

Since my baby boy is six years old and my pregnancy days are over, I decided I would make this mini as a gift for someone else instead.  

I used the free cut file "sweet little moments" for the album title,which you can download here, and the circle star cut file for part of my background which you can download for free here. 

Since it's a gift, I used some photo frame patterned paper to mark the spots for photos, which could be added in at any time.

I used some vellum bags and placed some Oh Baby! Boy Updates tags inside of them so they could easily be accessible to document all of those sweet little "firsts".

I made a pocket out of some vellum to store extra items and memorabilia inside, such as hospital bracelets, locks of hair, etc.   

I used lots of random sized patterned and vellum papers for this mini because I really like things peeking out of the pages and it was fun to mix it up for a change.

I used a couple of the Oh Baby! Boy Icons as you can see above and then one on the opposite side to pull the design together.

I layered the Oh Baby! Boy Milestone tags on the front and back of the polka dot flap and stamped the word "date:" on each one so it would be easy to record when these events happened.

Towards the back of the album, I added another vellum bag filled with the rest of the Oh Baby! Boy Updates and another spot for a cute photo.

I also used the Chic Tags cut file "Love This" and misted it with some black and silver spray ink for one of the pages which you can download for free here.

Chic Tags Used: Oh Baby! (Boy Icons, Boy Milestones, Boy Mini Tags, Boy Updates), Birthday Cake (Artisans, Labels), Everyday Life II (Date Tags, Cards)

I had a lot of fun creating this mini album and I can't wait to use it for a new baby gift!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
