Hello! Today I have a sketch to share with you. The Practical Scrappers DT created some FUN layouts using this sketch so be sure to check it out.

Here is my take on this sketch...

I strayed from the sketch slightly by added a circle and cluster of Holiday embellies.

Having An Adventure with Helmar and Simple Stories

Hello there!

The Helmar DT and Simple Stories are teaming up to bring you inspiration all week long. Simple Stories sent me their Take a Hike collection. What fun! I am married to family of big-time outdoorsmen so these papers are perfect for me!

Everything was glued down with Helmar's Acid Free Glue and the items that I really wanted to pop are adhered with Helmar's Zapdots.

My husband learned that if you hold the fish out for a picture than the fish look bigger...HAHA!

 

Christmas Kisses

If you haven't checked out Pretty Little Studio's Christmas At Home collection, you simply must.
It is adorably whimsical and festive.
My youngest is such a lover, he is my baby and even though he's 5, I'll admit it, I treat him like he is my baby. I will kiss him and hold his hand for as long as he will let me. All of you mothers know just what I'm talking about.;)

Thanks for stopping by today!

City Sidewalks with Memorable Seasons

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas...

This month I got to play with Pink Paislee's City Sidewalks collection from my monthly Memorable Seasons kit  -what fun!

Its been fun digging through Christmas pictures from last year. The Salt Lake Temple is extra beautiful this time of year. The lights and the feeling on the grounds are warm and wonderful. My little man is so cute with his rosy cheeks and Santa hat.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Make a Festive Burlap Wreath

What a wonderful time of year! I love making festive Christmas cards and decorations.
Let me show you how to make this unique, beautiful wreath using a Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive , a wire hanger, 12 3-inch strips of burlap, and Christmas decorations.

Untwist a wire hanger and shape in into a circle. Poke the burlap strips in the the wire, looping and twisting the whole way.

Twist the wire shut and decorate!

I pulled a few bulbs off the tree (shh...don't tell my kids) and secured them down using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive . I filled it up with leaves, berries, and glittered branches but you cna use whatever you have on hand.

Next, I have a fun card to show you. This card is 3 layered stacked card.

Helmar's Craft And Hobby glue was used to adhere my tress and all of its trimmings.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Notebook Card Inspiration

Hey there!
I have been waiting to use the Notebook collection from My Little Shoebox since it was released for summer CHA.
I finally got the chance with my assignments this month and it did not disappoint.

I made a unique background by layering it with a die cut which I cut from grey paper.

Products used: Notebook Truly Yours, Cardstock Stickers, Fog.

For this card I rolled several of the 3D Roll Up flowers and cut my card into a tag shape.

Products used: Notebook Always and Forever, Truly Yours, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents, Morning Mist Trim.

                                       
When using a plain color on cards, its always a good idea to emboss the paper for added texture and interest.
Products used: Notebook Truly Yours, Cardstock Stickers, 3D Roll Up Flowers and Accents, Keepsake's Razzleberry.

Products Used: Notebook Truly Yours, Bits and Pieces, Cardstock Stickers, 3D Roll Up Flower and Accents.

I cut the large flower and vine from my die cut machine added a little bling.

Products used: Notebook Always and Forever, Truly Yours, Keepsake's Cherry.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!

A Journey and a Sketch

Good Monday morning! I thought we'd start off this week with a sketch.
