February Scrapbook Nerd Reveal

Hey there my fellow Nerds! I'm up today at Scrapbook Nerd with my kit reveal! This month they gave me Crate Paper's Bundled Up collection to work with. This is one of my favourite holiday collections so far! I love that you can use it for winter layouts, Christmas layouts and everyday layouts too!

For my first layout, I used this fab sketch from Creative Scrappers. 

"My 3 Snow Angels"

I wanted to try the Ferro metalic texture paint on this layout, so I got out my Tim Holtz star stencil and a putty knife and painted it on in a few different places on this layout. That was the first time I had ever tried this stuff, and I tell you, I'm totally hooked! I LOVE it! The texture it gives is amazing and it just looks so cool!

For my second layout, I scraplifted another one of Juliana Michael's layouts! I absolutely LOVED this one and I really wanted to add my own take to it! 

You would never even know that this was a winter/holiday paper line from this layout! I really like that you can stretch your stash with this line and use it for more than what it's made for!

"Early Morning Kisses"

Again I used a different colour of the Ferro Metalic Texture paint here and the Tim Holtz clock stencil. Sooooo loving it!

For this last layout I used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches

"Sleigh Ride"

Last weekend we took the kids for a sleigh ride and I couldn't wait to scrapbook these photos! This paper was perfect for it I do believe!! 

I do hope you stop by the Scrapbook Nerd forum and check out the rest of the design team's reveals! There are some fabulous layouts and tons of inspiration!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! 

Blessings,

Simple Joys

Hi Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season! I am really having fun this year with my boys! Tonight we're having a Christmas movie night and I'm going to make snowman pizzas and Grinch Floats :) Our little elf Buddy has been up to some fiascoes too! He has made snow angels in our kitchen, become an amateur photographer and last night he sat on top of my clip it up. I think he was trying to protect my scrapbooking supplies from the boys! lol They were wrapping presents with my washi tape today...when I mean wrapping, they were using my washi tape to cover an entire toy! They seem to think lately that they don't have to ask to use my stuff either...I guess Buddy was trying to make sure they behaved around my desk! lol

Here's a few pictures of what he's been up to since he came to our house.

I also wanted to show you a layout I made to play along with the Artful Delight sketch this month and also the ladies over at Scrap Our Stash. 

Here's the sketch:

Scrap Our Stash wanted us to scrap about our family or someone in our family and use a phrase from this word art: 

They also wanted us to use 4 photo corners from our stash. Now believe it or not I don't actually have any photo corners in my stash, so I cut 4 out of some patterned paper! there are four there, but one kind of  ended up getting covered with embellishments so it's not so easy to see! Anyway, here's my layout of my son Caleb and a Christmas cracker. He just loves these things! That's why I thought the title "simple joys" would be perfect for this layout.

Here's some close ups:

Well I'm off to go work on some of my December Daily album!

Don't forget to 

Blessings!!
