Scrapping the Music - "Who Says"

Now that my scrapping space is set up and organized, I feel like I can finally get back to creating!  I am working on a lot of gifts for people which has kept me busy.  I did find some time to create a layout for this week's Scrapping the Music.  I used a picture of my daughter taken with my fabulous new camera I received for Christmas!  I chose the line "Beauty Queen" from the song and used a picture of my daughter in her dress up clothes! 

 

The DSP, stickers, and some of the ribbon and buttons are from last year's Stampin' Up Saleabration set.  For the title I took white cardstock letter stickers and sprayed them with my new Smooch spray.  I also got to use one of my new mini-library clips.  It felt great to scrap again after I had been doing so much card making.  I am looking forward to getting lots done at the end of the month when I am attending my first scrapbooking retreat!  :)

Christmas Countdown...Day 3

Here is a card I created utilizing some fabric.  I took advantage of Stampin' Up's online sale a few weeks ago and picked some fabric off for 60% the original price.  I want to learn more exciting ways to incorporate fabric in my paper crafting, but for now this will have to do:

Materials are all from Stampin' Up include: Garden Green, Real Red, and Whisper White Cardstock, Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set (retired), Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Fabric, 1/2 "  Seam Binding Ribbon Real Red (retired), Antique Brad, and Early Expresso Ink.  I did use a scallop punch and a bit of red Stickles for Rudolph's nose.

Countdown to Christmas...Day 1

It has been awhile since I have blogged, but I have been creating a lot recently.  My goal was to have all my Christmas cards done before December, and unless my list has grown significantly since last year I have achieved this goal.  I have created several different cards and I thought I would use my blog as a way to share my creations, some of my own design and others I have taken classes to create. 

So for December 1st, here is a card I designed:

First I should explain the backdrop...I thought the card would look cute nestled in the Christmas Village I put up each year.  

I used the following supplies: Very Vanilla and Marina Mist cardstock, Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set (retired), 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Marina Mist all from Stampin' Up, Rhinestones, glittered embossing powder, and corner rounder.
