Scrapbook Class/Club - Wednesday, December 26

Here are the pages we made at the Scrapbook Class this month!

This first page is the counterpart to one of the pages we made last month....


 

I love the cool, wintery feel of this page.  The keys to making it feel that way are the fun blues (Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo, in this case!) in the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper.  We also added some sparkle with a strip of Silver Glimmer paper along the left side of the page and the silvery snowflakes (using the new Silver Foil sheets).   Finally, we added those fun snowflakes (large snowflake in Island Indigo and smaller snowflakes with Coastal Cabana cardstock embossed with White Embossing Powder)  using the Festive Flurry Bundle.  For the finishing touch, we added a Frosted Finishes Embellishment to the larger snowflake.



 Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper  132341  $12.95


 Silver Glimmer Paper  124005  $4.95


 
Silver Foil Sheets  132178  $3.95

Frosted Finishes Embellishments

Here are the next two pages we made at class....

These pages feature the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper - the effect of the colors on these pages is also cool, but vintage and textured at the same time. 


On the top of this page, we stamped "CREATE" from the Creative Elements set, punched it out with the XL Oval punch, added it to a Baked Brown Sugar Decorative Label punch piece, stamped the flourish frame (also from the Creative Elements set) behind it in Crisp Cantalope and finally added a fun butterfly using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly punch.

Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set  clear-mount  123759  $14.95

Elegant Butterfly punch  127526  $15.95


On the bottom corner of this page, we stamped the larger flourish (also from the Creative Elements stamp set) in Crisp Cantalope ink, then added a sparkly heart (using Champagne Glimmer paper and the Full Heart Punch), a small strip of 5/8" Victoria Crochet Trim and a Vintage Faceted Button tied with Linen Thread - I love this effect of the sparkle and vintage charm!




Champagne Glimmer Paper  127885  $4.95


Full Heart Punch  119883  $16.95


5/8" Victoria Crochet Trim  118481  $6.95


Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons  127555  $5.95


This last page also has that cool, vintage, textured feel.....



On the bottom of this page, we added a Lace Paper Doily (one half of it, actually!), some more Champagne Glimmer sparkle, and then stamped "love you" in Island Indigo ink (from the Express Yourself Hostess Stamp set) and added it to a Decorative Label piece that we'd also stamped with the Four Frames border stamp in Baked Brown Sugar ink.  Finally, we added a beautiful Very Vanilla  Seam Binding Bow to finish the look.




Tea Lace Paper Doilies  129399  $2.95


 Express Yourself Hostess Set  wood-mount  130336  $15.00 hostess

Come Home to Alma - Friday, December 13

This is a great event we do each year in my hometown!

It's called Come Home to Alma.  Each year in December, on what feels like the coldest Friday night of the month!, the City comes alive for the Holidays.  There is holiday music playing downtown, a Christmas Tree Decorating Contest, Sleigh Rides, Santa and his reindeer and then area businesses have a fun events for people to come warm up inside!  I like to do simple gift tags because it's usually young kids who like to participate at the events... although I did hear more than one mom say how fun the gift-tag making was as well!!
 Here are a few pictures of the kids (and moms!) participating.  It was fun to hear the kids say whose present they were going to put the gift tag on as well!
 









Happy Holidays!!
