Winter Tag Snow Queen

Today my Winter tag is being featured over at Basically Bare, please go on over to the BB blog to see more pictures.  The tag is approx. 4x9 and I used a variety of products (scraps) I had in my Winter box.  I organize by theme along with product line.  So I have two  "winter" boxes - one box with embellishments and the other box with paper.  Any who, I love using up my paper and embellishment scraps, it makes me feel creative.  Why?  Because when I have a collection of papers and matching embellishments its all there for me, easy peasy.  When I mix and match from what I have and try and make that combination happen - it takes more (for me) time, creativity and focus.

Here is a close up of the Basically Bare Dress Form that I used for my Snow Queen Tag.  I used a Reminisce 3D snowflake sticker I had from a couple of collections ago.

 

I know a lot of states are getting lots of snow, here in Florida we get cloudy, rainy and muggy.  But since its winter I was inspired by all the snow the rest of you are getting so I made this winter tag.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by, and again go on over to Basically Bare and see what else the designers have been creating.  Happy New Year

 

Pumpkin Patch and Tilly's Tabs

Its my turn to be featured over at the Basically Bare Blog.  I posted a really cute Pumpkin Patch album using Basically Bare's Tilly's Tab album.

I love tabs because I can use different words and/or embellishments on the tabs. 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the fun things about using this album is that it has an envelope page.  I love these envelopes for hidden journaling or extra photos.

 

 

 

I sprayed Art Anthology color spray on my pages for a vintage look.

 

 

 

 

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy going to your local pumpkin patch and take plenty of photos.

 

Be sure to go visit my post over at Basically Bare - I have posted more pictures of the Pumpkin Patch Tilly's Tab album there.

 

Happy Scrapping ...

Happy News

I entered a couple of projects for the Reminisce DT call and I saw on their blog today that I received an Honorable Mention.  Whoo Hoo, I thought that was pretty cool.  There was only 1 spot on their team, so I figure out of all the entries that were submitted; its cool my work was noticed.  This is the first time I have ever submitted my work to anything.  Even though I've been in this industry for a while, starting off with owning a scrapbook store, then a montly kit club -  I never had time or even thought about submitting anything, anywhere.  Now that I have some time on my hands though I think I might try again.  Anywho, I am happy with the news and thought I would share.

Reminisce "Santa's Workshop" Album

I loved working on this Santa's Workshop Album using the reminisce paper.  I also got carried away and used some of the Christmastime collection too.  So as I promised yesterday I am posting some pictures of the "inside" of my album.  Unfortunately its gloomy here and I didnt get good light (boo hoo, I am crying on the inside).  But on the bright side,  the album turned out so cute I am very pleased with it.

OK, so I decided to add more excitement than I already have for my cutie patoodie album, and I want to pass my excitement on to you.  Please comment on my pages and I will add your name for some BLOG CANDY.  I will post the photos of the blog candy giveaways later, but why not get started early and send me some comments!!

Reminisce "Santa's Workshop"

Wanted to get in a Sneak Peekie of my latest project using the Reminisce "Santa's Workshop" collection.  This collection is so darn cute I want to bake it in a pie and put whipcream on top.  I have been wanting to make some more paper bag albums for a while and decided this was a good time.  I started making paper bag albums for classes years ago and they were always very popular - especially for gift giving.

I have also always worked with chipboard and fabric so got some energy and inspiration from the Santa's Workshop cutie papers and came up with this. 

The cover is made of chipboard wrapped in the pretty Making a Snowman (Shimmer) paper.  I also took a piece of canvas fabric and painted/stamped on it, then put stickles and glimmer mist on it.  I placed a sticker border from the collection and a ribbon on top to hide the canvas edge.  Then I added the florals and a cute snowman layered sticker from the collection.

I have to get going, but I will post more pictures of the "inside pages" later on.

Pumpkin Patch with Reminisce LAYOUT

Finished the 2nd page of my Layout using the Reminisce Autumn Forest collection.  I always do two-page layout, I know that a lot of people dont but I am so neurotic that everything has to match and it would make me crazy to open up my album to a page and not have both sides match.  I know I have my quirks, but alas the world would be very dull if everyone was the same.

Here are pics of my 2nd page.  Enjoy

Below is another picture of page 1 close up

Pumpkin Patch with Reminisce

Thought I would show what I did with the Reminisce Autumn Forest line.  This is one side only, still working on my 2nd page.  I also added a cute pumpkin paper piecing and some florals.   I also used primas and petaloo.
