Merry Christmas with Freshly Made Sketches!

Hello,

I hope you had a nice weekend, all refreshed and ready for a new week!  Our weather here in Southern Ontario, was not great - it is already starting to have that fall weather feel - ugh!

Anyway, to help with that fall weather feeling, I decided to create a Christmas card for the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches...this challenge is #149

Every year, I promise my card class ladies that they will have 20 handmade cards to give out at Christmas time.  And so, I always start in August - yes August!

It makes Christmas time a touch less stressful - and they get to cross something off of their long list of things to do!

So I decided to use a very special favourite stampset and it's coordinating framelit from last year - can you guess which one?  Yep, the Festive Flurey.  The stampset is still available but only until August 27th!

Here is my card...

I hope you enjoyed my card.

Happy Stampin'

Festive Flurry Scrapbook Page

Hello there my Stampin' Friends!

I have another scrapbook page for you all today!  Yep, still catching up with pages from our Christmas break - this one is a winter theme!

Over the break, my middle son had a hockey game in Collingwood, Ontario.  It is such a pretty place to take in some scenery with the ski hills and the waterfront.  And shopping there is extra special and they go out of their way to decorate for the shoppers.  I just had to take some pictures! 

The day was a great winter day with some snowflakes, but it was COLD!  There was an ice sculpture show out in front of the downtown shops.  So while we waited for the game to start, my youngest son and I took in some of the sculptures - beautiful!  It was a wonderful opportunity for a scrapbook page!

It was the perfect time to use the Festive Flurries Bundle with Stamp Set and matching Framelites!  I used some of the great paper that Stampin' UP! has....Silver Foil and Sparkling!  Perfect for those snowflakes!

I also used some of those wonderful charms that were in the Holiday Catalog!  They were such a hit - I hope Stampin'UP! brings them back in the future!  Great for the centre of the largest snowflake.

I hope you like the page.  Here is the list of supplies that I used....

Whisper White Cardstock

Silver Foil Paper

Poka dot Embossing Folder

Happy Birthday with SCIC #74!!

Hello there my Stampin' friends!

I have a birthday card to show you today.  It is a layout I promised one of my card class friends, who just loved the snowflakes and because there is still SO much snow here in southern Ontario, I couldn't resist!  Who says snowflakes are just for Christmas cards, right?

 I decided to participate in the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge SCIC #74. It was a perfect match for the blue, white and glitter of this card and the Birthday theme was exactly what I needed - my birthday card stash was seriously low!
 

Well, what do you think?

Here are the supplies I used......

Winter Card with Stampin' Royalty!

Hello there my Stampin' friends,

Have you been over to Stampin' Royalty lately?  Such a fun challenge this week - you guessed it a Winter card!

I just love this colour combo - it isn't often you can say the words Pool Party and Chirstmas all in the same sentence here in Canada and in a snow belt to boot!  But today I can! 

I started with the fabulous Designer Series Paper Stack out of the Holiday catalogue (my jumping off point), then added some Pool Party cardstock and ink, used my FAVOURITE bundle from the Holiday Catalogue (Festive Flurry - stamp set and framelits to match), a Pool Party snowflake in small and then a glitter snowflake the next size up.  I added some great silver ribbon and a rhinestone!  Voila!  Beautiful card.  

I sold a ton of these at my last craft show!  What do you think?  

Supplies I used...
