Merry Christmas with the Polar Express

Happy, Happy New Year, Scrappers!  It's January 5 - but I'm still in the Christmas mood with my tree up and the Polar Express beneath it!  I love this photo of my cousin and his gorgeous smile as he begins the story of the Polar Express!  I was inspired by the current challenge at Let's Get Sketchy.  I turned their sketch upside down.  I think scrapping the Polar Express is a great way to end my holidays!  Let's take a look at this holiday creation.

Elphie the Elephant by Miss Daisy Stamps

I have a cute layout using a cute digital from Miss Daisy Stamps - Elphie the Elephant. I love how he will always be in my grandson's scrapbook to remind him of fun times he had as a toddler - Elphie looks fantastic watching over my grandson!

January First Release Digital Papers

It's always a fun day at We Are 3 - Here is a peek at We Are 3's Toasty Warm Collection.  Enjoy this card idea using the blues and pinks - I really like the snowflake background.  It may be difficult to see in the photo, but the papers have a warm knitted-sweater pattern.  I enlarged two wonderful snowflakes from the patterned paper and blinged them up with glitter and pearls - layered with foam tape and embllished the center of the snowflake with a single gem.

 

Baby Clothesline

• Cute Card Thursday - #458 Anything Goes

Guest Designer - Miss Daisy Stamps

You know how sometimes you see an image or product that catches your eye?  In November, We Are 3 offered a free digi pak (Color Me Christmas) that caught my eye - one of those that had to be used in a project NOW! The card I made was picked as the #1 winner in the November Challenge at Miss Daisy Stamps - that win includes an invite to guest design for a month.  What fun!  Here is the first card I made.

For my card, I used the digi pack I won as my prize - Inspiration.  The background paper is called Embedded in my Heart.  The swan and the inspirational strip come from Rejoice.  Then I embellished with butterflies using Pretty Wings 2 from Miss Daisy Stamps.

I know you are anxious to join this challenge!  Be sure to join us at Miss Daisy Stamps!

Happy Birthday Scrapbook Layout

Today's layout is a little glimpse inside the family party we had for my grandson's second birthday.  He enjoyed opening presents and played all day with his new gifts, including a gas stations for his cars and his new ball pit.  (Sorry - no photos allowed online.)

Beneath Grandpa's Leg

Today I am sharing a very simple design for a layout that highlights photos (and video) of my grandson crawling beneath my husband's leg "bridge."

Family Scrapbook Layout

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Holiday!

When papercrafting in general, I always like to reach into my stash of leftovers to create new projects.  Today I created a scrapbook layout using paper scraps and leftover embellishments.

Blue Cheer

My card features Cheer (Bross Art Addiction) and wintery snowflakes.  It's a wonderfully sunny day here in Sahuarita - but most of my friends are experiencing wintry weather.  They are all happy with their white Christmas - and we'll enjoy our beautiful sunny Christmas.

Globeframe Gift

For today's project, I used one of my all-time favorite products - globeframes.  These make great gifts for any occasion.  I think they are so wonderful and versatile.  Today I have my "annual" gift for a friend - a framed photo of her grandson.

Difficult to tell from the photo (because I actually did such a good job of photoshopping out the glare) but there is a clear plastic globe over the photo to give it a finished touch.

Elf Kisses

Hi there!  Today I have a fun holiday treat bag to share with you.  I used Elf Shoes (Bird's Cards), holly (or mistletoe), and Hershey Kisses (with "Elf Kiss" sticker on bottom).  This project was inspired by treat bags my daughter-in-law found on Pinterest.  I didn't have any red and green cardstock in my stash - so I used a variety of bright colors.  These will be hanging on my neighbors' doors tomorrow.

Snowman Treat

Today's post is for all of our friends celebrating Christmas!  I created this cute paper piecing Tic Tac treat cover -paper piecing, embossing, and Tic Tac Covers svg file from Treasure Box Designs.  I added a little Hollyberries from Power Poppy.

Happy Easter

Today I am sharing  a layered design for an Easter card for all your favorite chicks using Me and My Peeps (Treasure Box Designs).

Railroad Park Layout

Hello and a Happy Tuesday to you!  Today I have a layout using Outdoor Title and Spring Train - both from Treasure Box Designs.

Burlap and Snowflake

Hi there!  Today I made a simple card that needed only a few supplies - cardstock, a small piece of burlap, a border punch, snowflakes, and glitter.  This card makes 102 Down - 25 to go.

Masculine Baseball Card

For today's cards I have created masculine cards using Sandylion stickers...inspired by Challenge #280 at Hiding in MY Craft Room (how appropriate - these stickers have been hiding in my craft room for about five years!)

Christmas Snowflake

Thanks for stopping by today, and big thanks to the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers for a beautiful dose of holiday inspiration!
