DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge

Hello again and thanks for stopping by.  I've totally and completely dropped the ball with my paper crafting and I don't like it at all.  So I decided I'm going to do as many Challenges as I can do.  Well this is the first Challenge that I came across.  It's the DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge.  You can find it over at DCWV's Blog.

I have found that I tend to make more cards then Layouts and I'm super behind on Scrapbooks so this layout challenge for me was perfect, especially with Christmas just passing. 

With this Layout I used...

DCWV paper stack Holiday Shimmer

DCWV paper stack Christmas Combo Stack

Cartridges used for Santa was Christmas Cheer

Cartridge used for "Santa" was Don Juan

Cartridge used for banner was Just a Note

Ribbon stripe used was from Michael's Holiday Cheer.

Twine is Martha Stewart

Glitter is Stickles

eK Success punch for scallop border.

Thanks DCWV for this great Challenge. It has really gotten my creative juices flowing and that is just what I needed.

Well thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek. Hope you come back again soon. I hope to be back tomorrow with a fun project I gave for Christmas.

"Spooky"

Halloween is coming and although I don't really get into it as far as dressing up or even decorating I do have to say card making and scrapbooking Halloween is a lot of fun. I made the scallop shaped card on my gypsy using a gift tag from  Christmas Cheer. I hid some parts, welded other parts and this is what I came up with.  (I LOVE my Gypsy.)  The Skelleton head is from Indie Art and the Spooky stamp is a $1 bin stamp stamped with white ink.

For the inside I just added some orange paper and stamped Happy Halloween. 

Hope you liked and arn't totally shocked to have gotten 2 post from me in a row...lol. I'm working on working smarter and not harder. Hope to see ya again tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday thus far. I am back and doing well. I ended up having 3 surgeries and a 7 day stay in the hospital and the recovery has been rough. But with all my time off I was able to make my Christmas Cards. They did go out late but they went out and that's what counts, right?

I wanted to include our family photo but I also wanted to have room for the cutesy stuff on the card. I think the card style is the Z-Fold.  I put the photo on the inside and decorated the outside. Each card I made a little different so I will post a few of  them all.  Hope you enjoy I know I had fun making them.

Picture Frame

I got this old frame from a friend who was going to get rid of it. I saw some potential right away. I am starting to think holiday so I went with a Christmas theme. I used paper from the DCWV the Christmas stack. I ran it through the Xyron with Permanent adhesive. The Snowman is cut with Christmas Cheer and the Season's Greetings is cut with Beyond Birthdays. Then I took my I-rock and added bling not only to the snowman as buttons but around the frame on the snow flakes. I also added red glitter embossing powder to the snowmans scarf and to the season's Greetings. Thanks for looking!!
