Snowflake Wishes

I'm still working on sharing the Christmas cards that I have made this year with you. I'm not sure how I got so far behind but I will share them even if some of the supplies will be retired before I get them on on here for you to see! I think I need someone to help me stay organized and focused! Any volunteers?

I dislike winter and cold but I love snowflake stamps and paper. I'm not sure how that works. I guess because I live in WI, I have to deal with the snow so I might as well embrace it. Although, we have not gotten any snow yet this year, at least not in SE WI have we gotten any snow. Oh, I'm not complaining. 

I did have to get the Snowflake Splendor suite. Yep, I had to have the whole kit and caboodle on this one! This first card uses Pool Party and Pacific Point. The designer series papers have such a beautiful blending of colors. When I cut it down for this card it was just perfect. 


More designer series paper is highlighted on this beauty. I kind of wish I would have used Gorgeous Grape for this card instead of the Highland Heather but it still is pretty. I did add some pearls but they are hard to see in the picture.


The Pacific Point card base was embossed with Winter Snow embossing folder. I love these snowflakes! I die cut some more flakes and I used Wink of Stella on them so that they glisten.


I guess I like the snow when I can stay warm and create with them instead of having to drive through them! (Although, I don't mind shoveling them. I really like how the whole world is peaceful and quiet after a snow storm.)

I pray your Christmas celebration is coming together and that you are finding a way to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

Happy Stampin'!

Happy Fall pages with Harvest Hellos


I really enjoy using my stamps and papers to create scrapbook pages but I have to admit that I go in streaks with creating pages. I did make these this fall and never got around to writing up the blog post for them. (I don't want to admit to how many blog posts are waiting for me to write them up! Need to focus on this job!)

I started with Bumble Bee for the background paper. I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White on the diagonal to fit into the two corners.


I used the pumpkin stamp from Harvest Hellos with Bumble Bee ink to create a background. I also used Playful Alphabet to die cut the letters. I did use dimensionals to adhere them. The photo mats are Crumb Cake.


The pumpkins are stamped on Pumpkin Pie cardstock with Pumpkin Pie ink and punched out. The leaves were fussy cut from Garden Green. The Bumble Bee between the Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White is the ribbon to add even more texture.


This diagonal layout was definitely out of the box for me and I love the way it turned out. Don't be afraid to use those stamps to create fantastic pages for your fabulous photos!

Happy Stampin'!
