Merry and Bright

Hi everyone,

Happy New Years Eve! Can you believe that it is December 31st already? Where did the year go? This year marks the first ever US design team for WOW! embossing powders and our WOW! girls did a wonderful job representing our products. Stop by the WOW embossing powders blog to see some of the amazing creations our girls have made this year.

When I think of New Years I think of glitter - so I have a fun glittery layout to share with you today.

Title: Merry and Bright

I first started my layout by cutting out this 12x12 star background with my Silhouette.
Then I used my Versamark ink pad to ink the whole background in portions. I covered my background with Angel Wings embossing glitter and then heat embossed it. Because it was such a large area, I had to do a couple of layers. The result is so glittery and fun.

Next, I stamped my title Merry & bright on a shipping tag using the Merry and Bright Christmas stamp set and embossed my title and a few cut out stars using Sierra Sunrise.

Lucky Me

stopping by with a quick one this afternoon. I created this layout with scraps I had on hand from Bella Blvd's new Kiss Me collection.

In light of the recent tragedy in Newtown, CT. I have been thinking about just how lucky I am to have 2 healthy beautiful children and I thank my lucky stars for them each and every day. Even when they drive me crazy (lol).

This layout came together fairly quickly, I used up a lot of scraps on this layout by cutting them into strips, and laying them in a diagonal fashion.

supplies:
cardstock: white (Recollections)
pattern papers, designer tape, stickers, checkers button (Bella Blvd.)
tools: knockouts border punch (American Crafts)
Silhouette Cameo: lucky me title (Karla Dudley), stitched heart (American Crafts), arrow (Studio Calico)

Gingerbread house traditions

Hi everyone,
I am up on the Bella Blvd.blog today with a layout that I created using their Saturday Sketch.

Gingerbread house traditions

I found this cute gingerbread house cut file in the Silhouette store and I thought that it would look great embellished with Bella Blvd. Neutral mix button and winter flag. I chose my pink and blue color scheme by pulling colors from my photos. I used a mix of papers from the Winter Wonder and Kiss Me collections to create this layout. I stayed pretty close to the original sketch by sticking with 4 photos, but changed it up a little by moving my title to the bottom right hand corner of the layout.

supplies:
Winter Wonder Collection: Ski Slopes
Flags: Winter
Kiss Me Collection: Bouquet Kisses, True Love
Christmas Wishes Collection: Cute Cuts
Cardstock Stickers: Just Write Journaling Stickers, Alpha+Bits

Believe in the Magic of Christmas...

Hi there,
Good morning friends. I am up on the Bella Blvd blog this morning sharing a Christmas themed layout with non traditional colors.


Believe in the Magic Of Christmas Layout

I started off my layout by pulling papers from the Christmas Wishes collection. I loved the pink/red combo on the Candlelight paper, so I decided to bring in an additional pink (Love Notes Paper) from the Kiss Me collection. I love the mix of these two collections together. And the non-traditional Christmas colors brings in a feminine touch to the layout.

I added a swirled Christmas tree that I cut with my Silhouette as an accent mixed with Ciao Chip trees and Hearts for embellishments. For my title I used a mix of a Silhouette title with High Five Alphas and Chipboard alphas.

supplies:
Christmas Wishes Collection: North Pole, Candlelight
Cardstock Stickers: Alpha + Bits, Miniatures Stickers
Kiss Me Collection: Love Notes
Chipboard Alphabets - Sienna: Punch
Designer Tape: Piggy Pink Stripe
High Five Alpha Stickers: Piggy Punch
Button Market: Stars
Ciao Chip Everyday Elements: Trees, Stars & Hearts

The Simple things...

Hi everyone,
I had some time to scrap over the weekend in between picking out our family Christmas tree and decorating the house.
I found this cute 4x6 slanted tile card in Silhouette store. I think the general idea is to use it for Project life.

I thought it would look great on a layout, so I enlarged it in Silhouette Studio.

Here is a layout that I created with it, along with a few other Silhouette designs.

Hello Love....

Hi there,

Welcome to my second post for the Bella Blvd. Basically Bare team up. I just knew that when Basically Bare sent me these cute Stack-A-Bellies Birds that I was going to have to make a second project to showcase them on. So, I decided to create a layout using Bella's new collection Kiss Me.


Hello Love, Will you be mine forever? layout

I absolutely adore the color palette and chevron design on the Love Notes paper from the Kiss Me collection.
It is so bright and cheery and made the perfect background for my layout. I cut the fun arrow background using my
Silhouette and brought in a baby pink from the Baby Girl collection and small green chevron from the Spring Flings
and Easter Things collection. I love how Bella blvd lines all coordinate together so nicely. To embellish my layout I added some felt and acrylic bird pieces from Basically Bare and added Bella wood buttons and stickers to finish the layout.

supplies:
Kiss Me Collection: Love Notes, Cute Cuts,
Cardstock Stickers: Alpha + Bits, Just Write
Chipboard Alphabets - Sienna: Punch
Designer Tape: Piggy Pink Stripe
Sophisticates: Brown-Cream High Fives, Blue High Fives, Surf N Turf Paper

Decking the Halls with Pebbles and WOW embossing powders

Hi friends,

For this month my team of girls decided to do a Holiday theme for our group post. You can view the whole post here.

Here is my layout that I contributed to the team.

Deck the Halls layout:

I used WOW! embossing powders' brand new Deck the Halls stamp set on my layout paired with opaque bright white embossing powder. This is one of my favorite WOW! colors.
I just love how crisp and clear it comes out.

I used a Versamark ink pad to stamp my title and Christmas trees onto pattern paper and tags and then adhered to my layout.

Supplies:
Pebbles: Welcome Christmas collection
WOW! embossing powder: Deck the Halls stamp set,
Opaque bright white embossing powder
