My crafting mojo returned with some fun layouts at the Creative Memories Virtual Crop. I absolutely had to finish the scrapbook for my niece....maybe with any luck, I can get it out to her before Christmas. Now I get to choose papers to use for the next volume. The deer is colored digitally. I couldn't resist that cute little deer face!
My mojo seems to have flown the coop. In an attempt to lure it back, I decided to join the Creative Memories Virtual Crop. I decided to not worry about completing all the sketches, as that is enormously time consuming for the weekend - getting in the way of life. I completed three of the six layouts, two for my niece's book. The papers I chose for this book are beautiful with the fab deer from Star Jam Lines. They are so beautiful with the wonderful flowers for antlers, don't you think?
The circles are from Monica's Creative Room. The deer are colored digitally. I printed them twice in different sizes. The sentiment is from Love SVG.
Today I'm showcasing another of the fabulous sketches shared at the Creative Memories virtual crop this weekend.
The fab background is digital paper from Little Scraps of Heaven. The banners are from Miss Kate Cuttables.
I'm back today with another layout from a Snippy Scrappers Zoom session earlier this month. I used Kawaii Ornament Digi Kit from Little Scraps of Heaven. The photo will be my grandson decked out as a zombie courtesy of Halloween.
The journaling came from my daughter-in-law's Facebook thoughts, and it totally cracked me up with the photo.
Well, I'm a little late on posting - I created this layout with the Snippy Scrappers at the beginning of the month. Isn't it gorgeous? So is my great-niece whose photos will complete the pages.
The title was computer generated, and I used deer from StarJam Lines.
Hope you all are enjoying the 12 Tags of Christmas! It's Day 11, which means there's just two more tags to share at the Eclips Users Group. Today I'm showcase a sticker I think I purchased when I first started papercrafting about 15 years ago! In fact, I bought these stickers at Ben Franklin - I miss that place!!!! The scalloped edge behind it is cut with my Eclips using Tag Decor Background from My Treasured Kutz. Simple - but love how it looks!!!!
It's Day 10 for our "12 Tags of Christmas" challenge, meaning we're making a different tag for each day. My tag has three Ho!s, using just text filled with patterned papers.
The challenge is to CASE a Bloomie, a design team member at Power Poppy. I chose Gloria to CASE - specifically her technique in her Forest Fellas card of November 17 on which her background included subtle snowflakes. Gloria's subtle use of snow in her blue background inspired me here....I wanted to see if I could duplicate the pretty blue background digitally with snowflakes. I'm disappointed in my photo because I'm quite proud of my folds on this elf's skirt....in the photo, I lost that illusion. I pretty much followed Gloria's card design as well, changing out the scalloped frame for a frame scalloped only on one side. Power Poppy is giving away scores of prizes, so this weekend is a good time to join them.
The angels must be watching me - finding time to complete all 12 Tags of Christmas on time for the Eclips Users Group Challenge and one for the current Crafty Gals challenge sponsored by We Are 3. I'm showcasing an angel from Treasured Box Designs. She's cut with my Eclips and layered. The paper is from We Are 3's Snowmen collection...do notice how well centered the plaid pattern is on the angel's dress....I'd like to take credit for such perfect alignment - but it truly just happened by circumstance. I added google eyes (just easier that way - LOL!)
Today I'm showcasing the lovely Hollyberries for the 12 Days of Christmas at the Eclips Users Group. I have to say, this tag is nothing like my vision! The fab holly is Hollyberries from Power Poppy. The tag shape is from SVG Cuts' Thank You for the Music.
Today is Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags at the Eclips Users Group. Design paper is Nothing But Freebies' Enamel Gold. Circle is from Monica's Creative Room. Holly is a Power Poppy digital stamp - Hollyberries. The tag is strung on ribbon.
It's Sunday and time for another tag at the Eclips Users Group. It's also Featured Stamper day. I thought I would try to combine those two challenges - in hopes that the Featured Stamper had a tag in her gallery. She had one on the very first page that is just perfect! I like using nontraditional colors for Christmas, so the stocking is cut from the We Are 3 collection Daydreams. Hope you can join us this week at the Featured Stamper.
The current challenge at the Eclips Users Group is 12 Days of Christmas Tags. WooHoo! Now, this is always a challenge to be "creative" 12 days in a row! LOL! I adore a lot of what Miss Kate Cuttables puts out - but seldom take the time to use the svgs. Today I had some time to play, so here is Miss Kate Cuttables" Tall Snowman.
It's Day 4 of the Eclips Users Tag Challenge, and you know what that means! Yep, I'm outta ideas! LOL! Today I'm celebrating Santa. Right now we have perfect flip-flop weather, but during this season, I sometimes find myself dreaming of a white Christmas. I used the adorable Santa SVG from SVG Cuts. This file is one of my all-time faves because it's so easy to assemble. It's all paper pieced - and I added some fun eyes. I mean to emboss his beard and hat fur - but I got so involved in assembling, I forgot! So just imagine it being embossed in some cool folder. LOL!
Today I assembled a Christmas tag using Nested Labels from Miss Kate Cuttables.
Isn't this sky background just gorgeous? I've set some Christmas favorites on a tag of clouds created using Magical Scenes - cut in a scallop-shaped tag. On some I added sentiments from the Tis the Season set. I think they'd be perfect for any holiday package, don't you?
Playing with the 12-day Christmas Tag Challenge at the Eclips Users Group. Since these past few months, I've bit off more than I can chew, I'm opting for some quick and easy tags. Today's tag began with a layered doily from Monica's Creative Room. Using the bottom layer for the tag shape, I added a stitched outline. I added a snowflake and window showing some coordinated pattern paper. Everything was cut on the Eclips - and the snowflake is glittered.
