Hello Snow

Hello friends!

I created this layout using the December OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn...

I can't tell you how much I loved this month's kit!  Especially those adorable epoxy stickers and acrylic frames.

My daughter couldn't wait to get outside when it started snowing last week.  She was so excited to have a few snow days and played out in it all weekend!

I punched out all the snowflakes on my layout and layered some aqua vellum behind the silver glitter card stock to give it some color pop.

Be sure and check out the kit here.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Cup Of Cheer

Happy Tuesday, friends!

We've been snowed in since Friday so I've had some extra time to create over the past few days (in between hot chocolate making and drying out wet snow gear, of course :)

I created this layout using December's OHDEERME Kit from Freckled Fawn...

This month's kit totally rocked my embellishment world.  It was hard to pick a favorite embellie, but I have to say that the flocked snowflake brads and the epoxy button stickers were right at the top.

I used some black StazOn ink and stamped a few extra flakes around the brads...can't ever have enough snowflakes, right?!?!

I typed my journaling on a tag, tucked it into the vellum pocket from Amy Tangerine, and added a Glitz sticker right on top.

I don't live close to a coffee shop, so it's always a treat to enjoy a cup when I'm out shopping or running errands.  And it's even better when I have someone to share it with ;)

I hope you're having a great week so far!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tree Trimming

Happy Friday, everyone!

I'm sharing this layout I created using a "few of my favorite things" from the Come On Get Crafty shop on the COGC blog today...

I took these photos of my kiddos standing by the tree last year after we had spent the afternoon decorating it.  I can't believe how much they've grown in just a year!

I used the Imaginisce Colors of Christmas Die Cuts as the base of my grid design for this layout.

I added my photos and a few embellishments and finished it off with the Crate Paper Close Knit Woodgrain Chip Thickers that I can't seem to get enough of!

Shop Items Used: American Crafts (IG Colors of Christmas Die Cuts, IG Bushel O' Fall Wood Buttons), Crate Paper (Close Knit Woodgrain Chip Thickers, Close Knit Togetherness Patterned Paper), Lawn Fawn (Peace Joy Love Flair), Webster's Pages (New Year New You Mini Messages Word Stickers, New Year New You Mini Messages Tags and Prompts Stickers, Recorded Arrow Paper Clips) 

Be sure and stop by the COGC shop to find a few of your "favorite things"! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

With the year wrapping up quickly, I just want to say again how much I've enjoyed documenting my family's everyday events and happenings this year and being able to share them with you is also a huge bonus!  I plan on continuing this project in 2014, although I might do a few things a little differently.  I'm so thankful that I stuck with this amazing project and my PL album is definitely my greatest crafty achievement for 2013 :)

Thanks for stopping by... I hope you have a great day!

GB Christmas Countdown Calendar

Hello everyone!

I'm sharing how I created this Christmas Countdown Calendar on the Gossamer Blue blog today...

I used the December 2013 Life Pages Themed Add-on and the December 2013 Themed Add-on for this calendar.  The mix of bright reds, yellows, and greens paired well with all of the gold letter stickers and rub-ons from each of the kits.

I also used the exclusive stamp set in the December Life Pages Kit to create pockets (above photo) on a few of journaling cards.  I stamped the image onto some vellum and then sewed around three sides to create a little pocket to hold a chore pass or movie rental for each of my kiddos.

Since the journaling cards are 3x4, I might end up using some of them in my Life Pages December spreads as filler cards.

For more close-ups and details on how I made this calendar, be sure to stop by the GB blog!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
