I am very, very fond of distressing photo edges and paper edges, too! 

 



 

I like to use font stickers often, too, as my handwriting is unpredictable - and I like to trim them to different sizes! 

 

This blog hop was a true challenge for me, as I lately dislike having my photo taken!

I used these products to create this layout:

My Mind's Eye On The Sunny Side Collection

October Afternoon  Mini Market Red & Cream tiny front stickers

ATD Memento Yellow Foam font stickers

Stickles gold

My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Baker's Twine

We R Memory Keepers Paper Piercer

Winter: A Layout for Frosted Designs & Bird is The Word



Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge for November 2, 2012:  Here is the sketch!

 

I work with lots of sketches, one because I love them, and two because I have so many pics to scrap that I don't have time to spend coming up with the layout on my own!  I loved all of the elements of this sketch, and was able to incorporate lots of techniques.

 

I also entered this layout in the Bird is the Word challenge for October 22, 2012: Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall

 

Here is their site badge if you want to pop over:

 

 

I used "Winter" for my title, and found a great quote about snowflakes! 

For this layout, I used these products and tools:

 

Echo Park Winter Park Collection

 

Bo Bunny Blitzen Collection

 

Pink Paislee Daily Junque

 

gcd Studios *retired paper*

 

Making Memories Noteworthy SPiral Journaling Books 

 

American Crafts thickers Jewelry Box Metallic Silver

 

Marvy Uchida snowflake punches

 

Basic Grey tiny brads

 

embroidery floss

 

Ribbon and foam dots from Michaels Craft Store

 

 ***Merry Christmas 2012!***



Paper Punch Ornaments

I have a different sort of post today!  My 4 year old and I have been getting crafty the last week, due to the somewhat early arrival of winter, hurricane Sandy, and some congestion this morning that kept us at home on a Sunday. 

 

I modeled these layered ornaments from some felt examples I saw on pinterest, and thought paper would be easier to work with and use a few of the sheets of paper I already had stashed!  My youngest son LOVED using  ther paper punches! 

 

 

I was also able to pull out some spools of less-used ribbon from my stash and use those, too!

 

 

To create these lightweight ornaments, I used papers from DCVW, Bo Bunny, and Canvas Corp!  Punches included Martha Stewart, CTMH, Marvy Uchida, McGill, and Fiskars!  In between each layer of paper is a foam dot!

 

Merry Christmas!
