Ho! Ho! Ho! layout

My last post for the year!
I can't believe it.
But I'm ending on a fun one for sure:

 

 

 Moments like these are the best!
I don't get to scrap them very often because I'm usually the one behind the camera so I really, really love that someone thought to grab the camera and take pictures of my "racing" my daughter on the new wiggle carts we got for Christmas. So much fun!

For all of my H's on my Ho!, Ho!, Ho! title I used metallic chalk marker, on the bells I used the same in white and then for the snowflake O I used the matte white chalk marker. For the ! I used red ink pad.

 

This cute little present is from the Gifts Set 3.
I used ink pads and gold metallic marker.
Don't forget the magical touch of a few acrylic stars to really get some pop on your layout!

 

To finish up I had this super fun Spiral Bauble and used the blue metallic chalk marker with some silver for the top piece.  Then I added a bunch of the wood veneer Peppermints with just a touch of red liquid pearls to give them some more color.

I hope you have a fabulous holiday and get to spend lots of time with your loved ones doing whatever it is that makes your heart happy!
Thanks for stopping in!

Enjoy the Little Things layout

Hello!
I have a fun one today.
Every now and then I remember to get myself in a photo and this night I took one with my husband once we got back to the car. I really love how this layout turned out. I hope you like it too.

 

I really, really LOVE this little Scrawny Tree and how it represents the best of Christmas.
Way too often Christmas is commercial and I'm super over it, so this tree and the quote from Charlie Brown was perfect of this layout.
I used markers, chalk marker and just a touch of liquid pearls on my tree.

 

For the word Treasure from the Small Moments Border Words I used metallic chalk marker.

 

 

And my title piece is from The Little Things set.

I used ink pads to color it.
Then I added the fun Mini Holly and used liquid pearls to decorate it.

Thanks so much for coming by!
I hope you have the best people around for your holiday!!

Sweet Cookie layout

Hello!
Today I'm sharing a layout based on a Sketches In Thyme's sketch:

 I'll be honest, this one was hard for me.
I struggle with leaving this much white space. I knew it was going to be a hard sketch for me, but I also knew it was going to turn out awesome.

Sparkle layout

Hello all!
I hope you're having a wonderful July.
Today I'm sharing a layout I made using a sketch from the ScrapRoom and products from Creative Embellishments.

 

My son was a bit wild with his sparklers so having him make some cool pictures was a good way to keep an eye him and keep everyone safe.
He loved making designs in the photos.

Here's a couple closeups for you:

Thanks for swinging in today!

Dad layout

Hey there!
Father's day is coming up and I have a fun layout to share with you.

I enjoyed creating this layout so much!
I love the fun, goofy photo of my husband with my kids climbing all over him and that made it easy to just add elements and decorate until the layout was full of fun too.

I used lots of pieces from Creative Embellishments, including a starburst stencil for the background.
Here are a few detail photos for you:

 

Thanks so much for coming by today.
Wishing you a happy week.

Happy New Year layout

 Hello!

I'm super excited to be starting my term as a DT member at Creative Embellishments!

I'm starting out with a fun and easy layout.

 

I used a couple photos from New Year's with my kids doing the countdown to the new year.
They love that moment (like most people) when you get to do the countdown and yell happy new year, along with firing off these confetti poppers.

So for my title I used Creative Embellishment's New Year word strip from the New Year Border Word Set. I used a chalk marker to color the words new & year and then a regular red marker for the heart between them. It really helped my title pop off my busy and dark background paper. 

I had a lot of fun adding details to this layout. Using up some old thickers doing my countdown along the side of the layout was fun. I also used some washi tape, enamel dots and thicker dots among other embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by!

Santa's Lap w/ Moxxie & NAS

 Hello, it's Nuts About Sketches Monday!

The sketch I'm showing you today is actually from last week, but there is a new 2 page sketch up on the blog today, you can check it out here.

This sketch is from last Monday:

And is the one I used to create this layout:

My boys telling Santa what they want for Christmas. It's just a little bit magical, isn't it?

I used the fun new Happy Pawlidays line from Moxxie.

I stayed pretty true to the sketch and had lots of fun creating this page.

Just because this is a Pet Holiday line doesn't mean you can't use it for other things.

This cute Santa hat was cut off the adorable little doggie.

I added a few embellishments I've been gifted recently and ones that worked their way into my stash.

Using Moxxie's Red alpha for the title was really fun. It doesn't come with apostrophes so I just used the inside of an upper case Q. 

Moxxie is doing a giveaway for this line right now. Don't miss out!

What is on your list?

Gingerbread Kisses w/ Moxxie

 Hey there,

today I have this super cute layout I made using the fun Happy Pawlidays line!

We don't have any pets around our place but that did not slow me down on thinking of all the fun ways I could use this adorable line. Here's a layout I made of my little guy:

My kids thoroughly enjoyed making a gingerbread house that year and, not surprisingly, my little 3yr old, sweet tooth enjoyed eating the candies! It looked just like he'd gotten into someone's make-up when he was done, so we had him pucker up for a picture.

All of the details and closeup photos for this layout are on the Moxxie blog.

And here is my project created using mostly Happy Pawlidays:

I started with this wood that my husband cut out for me from scraps:

Then paint.
(I tend to get carried away and forget I don't have to paint the areas that will be covered with paper. lol)

Then I laid each piece on my paper, traced it, cut it out and added it to the wood piece using Mod Podge.

Sand and ink the edges and you're almost done.

Add some stickles to the star. (the star pp is from the volleyball line and the tree trunk from Autumn Glory)
I finished off by fussy cutting the ornaments from the Happy Pawlidays line to decorate my tree.

Holiday cards w/ Moxxie's Happy Pawlidays

Are you busy working on holiday cards?

I am and I wanted to show you some cute ones I made using Moxxie's Happy Pawlidays line.

Super cute right? Only we no longer have any pets. So I thought it would be wonderful for making some fun holiday cards for us to send out.

I used one sheet of pattern paper to make both of these cards.

 I took the Define Naughty paper and cut it in half horizontally. Then folded it so the cute little kittys and pretty tree would be the front of my card.

I added my fun Jingle all the Way stamp and little holly and then the Fleas sticker on the front and the Navidad sticker inside

So that left the pretty scroll work for my other card.

I added the fun Happy Pawlidays, cat, paw and banner stickers on the outside then outlined them with a marker to help them pop of the card. I also did a bit of inking around the outside.

For the inside I added more stickers and put together a sentiment with stickers from the Happy Pawlidays cardstock sticker sheet, some leftover alphas & a stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
