Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  I hope you are enjoying your time with your families!  Our Christmas was pretty quiet this year…just me and these two beautiful girls!  I am loving being home and spending so much time with them!

I used Teresa Collins Santa's List for this layout!  Here is a close-up so you can see all those fabulous embellishments in this collection:

I definitely LOVE those sequins!!!!

Christmas Cards - Teresa Collins Santa's List

Christmas is quickly approaching….4 more days!!!!  It always seems to arrive much faster than expected :-)

Today I have a few cards to share that were recently on the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog.  I used the Santa's List Collection on all of them.


I am absolutely smitten with the sequins in this collection!  For my first card I filled up a treat bag with sequins and layered that overtop of a few of the patterned papers in the collection.  Next, I added the joy sticker, button and snowflake die cut.  I just love the look of the sequins in behind!

I kept this next one pretty simple (easy to mass produce…wink wink).   I just love the bold red in this collection!

I had fun on this last card and decided to push myself outside of my comfort zone!  I am normally quite "linear" in my designs but this time, I decided to play with circles!   The mix of die cuts and stickers makes this so quick and easy.  The enamel dots are just the right touch!

MCS December Reveal

December is definitely one of my favourite months and what makes it even better is this fabulous kit from My Creative Scrapbook!  It is filled with gorgeous Crate goodness :-)

Here are my pages with this months kit:

I love the pictures of my girls having fun in the snow…hard to get outside this past week…it has been FREEZING.  Tonight it is -45 degrees Celsius with the windchill…BRRRRR!!!

Today

I am feeling quite proud of myself lately for making an effort to get BEHIND the camera every now and then!  These photos were taken with my self timer!

I used the Family Stories collection from Teresa Collins.  Teresa's lines have the BEST embellishments and always seem to include things that I want to say…love that!

Hope you are getting in your pictures!!!!

Bella Blvd & Kerri Bradford Team Up

I am SO very excited to be part of the Bella Blvd and Kerri Bradford team up!  If you own a die cut machine, you have probably heard of Kerri…she designs the most beautiful shapes!  This past week, some of the Bella Blvd design team members teamed up with Kerri Bradford and I was so lucky to join in on the fun!

Hearts are one of my FAVORITE elements to use on my pages so I immediately fell in love with Kerri's Heart Backgrounds and it paired perfectly with Bella Blvd's Kiss Me collection! I love the look of a touch of patterned paper showing through background paper and Kiss Me has so many fun patterns to mix in! I didn't need to journal on this page since the title "I love you ALWAYS" is exactly what I wanted to say! So many of my smiles truly begin with my sweet girl…she is as funny as she is adorable!

Supplies:
Kiss Me: Flutter, True Love, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Alpha+Bits

Kerri Bradford Studio: 
Heart Backgrounds, February Fourteen

For this layout, I used Kerri's Happy collection. I had fun mixing a few Bella Blvd collections here and happiness is definitely my theme! I am super happy to finally be IN a page…I am not often behind the camera so I am making a concious effort to be in photos with my family! I love the sentiment, "you make me happy when skies are grey" and have often sang this to my girls!

Supplies:
Daily Chevies: Chevy Carrot, Chevy Oreo, Arrows pink; Trick or Treat: Spooky Town; Snapshots: Captions; Ciao Chip Elements: Hearts & Stars; Feathers: White; Button Market: Fruit Punch
