Hello, everyone! It's Rebecca with today's blog post. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  The month of January is a wonderful time to send thank you cards for all the great gifts and goodies we had received throughout the holidays. I used Autumn Brilliance to create the following thank you card...

                                                         "Winter Blessings"

• I began by die cutting a circle from the patterned paper
• Next, I attached acetate with scor-tape
• I added the die cut elements to the front of the card

• I drew around the circle with pencil and added ink in a random fashion
• Next, the die cut house and fence were added
• I then made a well of shaved ice, prills, glitter and sequins 

• Foam tape was added to the top panel and placed directly over the winter scene
• I added the sentiment that was die cut from the patterned paper
• Flourishes, greenery and a blue poinsettia were added to the front left corner
•  

I hope you can take time to send a winter thanks to someone you love. Thanks for visiting the blog today!

Hello, everyone! It's Rebecca hosting the blog post today. With only 10 days before Christmas Eve, the holiday happenings are in full swing at my house. I always like to include a handmade tag on the gifts of the people I know that scrapbook. Many of them keep to add on their layouts. I had a few leftovers from December Club Q so I decided to  make tags for my gifts.

"Tag...Your it!"

  

•  die cut 4 tags from cardstock
•  cut the scraps to fit the tag size
•  ink the edges of any or all edges 

• Repeat steps above for second set of tags

•  Add embellishments as desired
• I added poinsettias and holly
• I popped up the phrase with foam tape and added "snow"

• I embossed vellum poinsettias
• I gently rolled the vellum flowers
• add greenery and candle die cut.

• I used a snowflake chipboard piece from Club Q
• I attached ribbon and scraps of paper

• I let the paper speak for itself on this example
• The flowers are silver embossed with Bloody Mary Ink
• I used an image from the cardstock phrases popped up on foam tape

Now I have 4 beautiful tags that will make any present that much grander! Silver or gold pen to write on the back of the tag and bam! Handmade with love! Holly Jolly Holiday paper collection is a gorgeous collections of reds, greens and burgundy. Perfect for preserving your Christmas memories!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Good day, everyone! It's Rebecca here with a little crafty inspiration for the blog. I can not believe how close Christmas is! Decorations, trees and cookies top the list of favorite family activities. My daughter in law's sister, Nikki and her family go out and find that perfect tree for the holiday. I captured the memory on the following layout...

"Oh, Christmas Tree"

********************************************************************************

• I began by cutting my photos down 
• I then matted each with a dark green cardstock
• A couple of photos were triple matted
• 
  

• I took some trees from a Club Q kit and two pieces from cardstock phrases

• I added Catus PowderPuff chalk ink to cover the white chipboard pieces
• I embellished them further with brads, buttons, rhinestones and pearls

• I inked the edges of the cardstock with bloody mary chalk ink

•  I added my photos to each page and glued them to the base page.
• Next, I added my embellishments, some with foam tape and other with glue.

The final page



I hope I inspired you to scrap your latest memory from the holiday season. Club Q is a great way to get your pages done quickly and beautifully. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Hello, everyone from chilly Indiana! Club Q kits are a great way to have beautiful pages delivered right to your door once a month.  I created the following layout, Blessings using the kits in a different way. I used my grandson's first pumpkin patch visit as inspiration for this fall theme layout.

"Blessings"

• I began by matting my photos
• I inked the edges of all my banner pieces
• I trimmed the phrase from the laser cut piece

• I matted the laser cut to white cardstock
• Stamped,die cut and colored my flowers
• Cut my corn stalk die from electronic die cutting machine

I laid out where I wanted things and then began to adhere them to the page.

I added buttons to the titled and filled in the corners with sunflowers.

I hope I inspired you to create something today! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Hello, everyone! It's Rebecca here today hosting the blog post. I'm using the NEW paper collection called Autumn Brilliance. It's so beautiful! Rich hues of autumn colors make this paper a must have for your paper stash. I created the following layout of my great-niece, Hailey...

"Apple Of My Eye"

• I began by inking the edges of the patterned paper.
• I then attached the patterned paper to the olive green 12 x 12 base.

• I cut two strips of patterned paper 
• I inked the edges and attached them together
• I added some lace to the bottom of the border.
• 
  

• I stamped and embossed flowers on vellum and die cut them.
• Next, I did a little glitter art using the design  on the paper.
• I used chipboard letters from my stash to create the title.

Although, I did not have enough foiled chipboard letters to complete the title; I simply used white ones and embossed them with red embossing powder.

The layout was simple to create because the paper is so beautiful. I hope I have inspired you to create something "Autumn" today! Thanks for stopping by the blog!
