Celebrate the Season with Scrapbook Nerd!

Happy Sunday Bloggers! I wanted to share a layout I made for Scrapbook Nerd's Celebrate the Season Countdown to Christmas! There's a ton of other fabulous Christmas inspiration over at the forum too! You definitely need to pop over there and check it out! While you're there, stay a while! Those ladies are seriously awesome to hang out with!

Every year we make gingerbread houses and I wanted to document this tradition!! I LOVE this cut file from 17 turtles! It totally reminds me of icing on gingerbread houses! Perfect for this layout!


I still get giddy when I see this beautiful gold lettering! I love that thickers have been coming out with phrases now too!



This Simple Stories collection is just perfect for this layout! Love the traditional red and green patterns which are perfect for a layout about documenting, well, traditions! lol


This post is short but sweet. I have come down with a tummy bug and I'm going to go lie down...if my kids allow it! lol!!

I'm linking this up at Clique Kits for their monthly Anything Goes with a twist challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Celebrate the Season with Scrapbook Nerd!!


Good Morning Bloggers!! 

Have you started getting into the Christmas spirit yet? I have for sure! If you haven't, you need to join us at Scrapbook Nerd for our Celebrate the Season  Holiday Inspiration!!! We're starting off the Christmas Season with 12 days of Christmas! You can join in too! If you link up your Christmas project in the Forum, you'll get a RAK from the fabulous ladies at Scrapbook Nerd!!!



I can't wait to start working on my December Daily Album this year, but until then I thought I'd whip up a few easy and cute Christmas cards. Gasp! I know! Me! Making cards! Who woulda thunk it?! HA!

I couldn't help making some cards when I saw this Simple Stories Cozy Christmas line! The cut apart papers and the little die cuts are just perfect for making some quick and easy cards!


I was so excited to break out my Tim Holtz Woodgrain Stencil on this card! I love how it turned out! I really love the Iced Spruce Distress ink on the Kraft cardstock!



These cards came together so quickly! The most time spent was on looking for a stamp that I never did end up finding! HA! Guess I should start looking for a new way to organize my stamps! lol

I hope you join us and link up your projects to the Nerd Forum! Can't wait to see what you create!

Blessings

Everyday Awesome: Clique Kits Blog Share


Hey Bloggers! I'm so excited to be taking part in the Clique Kits Member Blog Share again! I so enjoy playing along with the girls in the Clique each month! If you didn't come from Stephanie's blog, then please head back to the Clique Kits blog to start at the beginning! You're not going to want to miss this! There's prizes and TONS of fab inspiration!

This month our challenge was to be inspired by this fabulous mood board! How could you NOT be inspired by this gorgeousness?! Love it!


I took my inspiration from the black and white photos, the cameras and the watercolours. I have to say, I am in love with this layout! It came together so beautifully for me and I am so happy with how it turned out! Do you ever have layouts that you finish and you're like "yeah, this is awesome"? lol That was one of these for me ;) It doesn't happen all the time, but ya gotta love it when it does!! 



The papers in this kit are just amazing! I am absolutely in love with them! The Lemon Owl Collection?! Oh. My Word! It's so pretty!! 

Oh, and I couldn't even post this without mentioning how stinkin cute this picture is! This is one of those pictures that just makes me so grateful that I was able to capture this moment and makes me feel so blessed for the life that God has given us! It's just pure awesome! 


I knew I wanted to do some watercolouring in this layout and those black and white cameras are just perfect! I just randomly painted some of them in that gorgeous teal colour, not really worrying about being in the lines or not. I love the look that creates!


and check out the flair that came in this month's kit? *sigh* sooo in love with that pie chart one!




I have only made two layouts with this kit so far, but I can't wait to have more time to finish this one off! I think I say this every month, but I think this is my favourite kit so far!


Thanks for stopping by!

Heidi Swapp and Epiphany Crafts Team Up (and a giveaway!!)

I just wanted to pop in and share these three layouts I made for the Heidi Swapp and Epiphany Crafts team up! They are up on the Epiphany Crafts blog today, so go check them out complete with close ups! There is also a giveaway on that post too! It's a good one too! So jump over there and check it out!! 



For the first layout, I used this fab sketch from The Studio Challenges!





Ugh...lately I've been having bad luck with cameras! I lost my battery charger for my DSLR, and now I can't find my point and shoot either!! So I do apologize for the shoddy photography! I've been using my cell phone camera, and between that and the cloudy weather, it's not a good scene for getting a good picture of anything! LOL

Thanks for stopping by!
