Happy New Year 2012!

Hi There,

Happy New Year to all my followers.

 I'm excited for the future and its great to have a new year to learn from the past and go forward with lessons learnt to the future.

For those who may not already know there is some exciting news for me here. An awesome opportunity and I look forward to playing along and getting to know the JAI community a bit more♥

And so my debut begins with my take on the first scrapbooking challenge and a little blink into our past LOL!

Please feel welcome to play along and join in the fun here!

Just for seeing here too here is my take on the scrapbooking theme for

JAI #1 Scrapbooking-

This layout kick-started my play with various layouts using DSP- Letters to Santa as seen in recent previous posts.

But wait theres More!

Hi there

as promised another quick add using the same  DSP- Letters to Santa collection and elements, these photos were taken on this Christmas of our precious grandson who while colouring in, fell asleep under the tree- what a precious pressie just having him at home with us for this special holiday♥

and one more- a double capturing and recording my grandson's 3rd Christmas celebration so far, one that he might remember too. Please excuse the digital 'stitch' result that has caused some shading that isn't on the layout itself. 

One more from my scrapping session - same collection again  (barely made a dint in the whole lot even after all the projects above and below.)

Christmas Scrapping

Hi there

With a few days off and nearing an end I've had the urge to do some scrapping in particular Christmas.

Again some play with DSP- Letters to Santa and some of the Sticker Elements from the same collection. I've also used some of the nice glitter brads from both-In colour 2011 & Glimmer Basics (Neutrals)

You can see the complete collection in the post previous.

Sketch is an ole' fav that I've used on a few occasions from January 2008 PageMaps

Hope you've all had a lovely and safe Christmas celebrating the best way you know how. 

Will be back with more - watch this space♥

Here comes Christmas!

Hi there,

I've recently had to prepare some inspiration for a Christmas Workshop. I decided to have a bit of a play with the DSP- Letters to Santa. Quiet a few of my cards are CASES from other talented demos or inspired in ways by their design. I hope to do some layouts with these papers too in the near weeks, following Christmas.

Without further ado here goes-

 DSP - Letters to Santa- Accents

                           

DSP- Letters to Santa papers-12 double-sided papers- 6 different designs.  

       

 this card was inspired by another card - here-

My take on another inspired card - here

My take on this one here

this card top and below's design was inspired by here I decided to make the trees more dimensional!

 I bit of a novelty card. I made a template for this one by sighting this here

Here is a swag banner that I made using the Perfect Pennants Bigz Die and DSP - Letters to Santa

To give myself a fold on the top of the Pennant shapes I cut the piece of cardstock a little larger, scored a fold of 1/2" and than ran some Dotto over the piece of cardstock before running it through the Perfect Pennant die. The Dotto adhesive is great because it can be gently rubbed off later with no damage.

Here are a few photos of the collection of work using DSP- Letters to Santa and the Sticker Elements

A Santa made from the Cone die. I cased this idea from here

  

I made another Santa and gift set for my daughter's teacher.

So hope you enjoyed that collection, if anyone is wanting any of the Stampin Up products featured here feel free to contact me.
