Best Christmas Party Layout

 

Center row diagonally: 3 Photos, Circle, and Enamel Dots.

Extras: Gold sticker letters.

For my layout I used the following supplies: Carta Bella Christmas Time collection, and Decorative Brads; Recollections Gold Sticker letters, Echo Park Sticker letters, DCWV Dark Green #2, red and black cardstock, Sizzix Viewfinder thinlits die, Doodlebug Design Sprinkles red enamel dots, and Spellbinders Platinum 6. Oh, and I traced circles and free hand cut the larger red circle.

The funny part is that my friend's house has a ton of Christmas trees and we were doing an ornament exchange. So the joke is, "Too many ornaments? No such thing!" It was such a fun time!

Guest Designer for Word Art Wednesday-Valentine's Card

January is my month as a guest designer for Word Art Wednesday challenge blog for their #685-686 challenge, and this week's verse is:

And this week our Sponsor is Love in Faith Christian Clothing - 5 Christian T-shirts in various sizes (5 winners)

My card is made with Graphic 45 Time to Flourish February papers, Ranger Lumberjack Distress Oxide was ink blended around the edges, and layered on the 5x7 card base. I loved this little piece of lace in my stash that I felt really soften the whole card. I printed the verse on a white cardstock, and added it to an dry embossed (Altenew Luxurious Motifs 3D folder) which had white ink added to it as well. Ribbon added to make it a bookmark as a gift. 3 acrylic hearts added to embellish.

Altenew White on White Layered Card

Chosen for Double D Challenge winner #1

 Am so thrilled to share this fun White on White die cut layered card! Using Altenew Create a Wreath for the flower blossoms, and a circle cut at the top to make it a cup. I used the Altenew Fancy Hugs die for the sentiment and just to add some fun texture, I used the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder on the card front for the background.

Budapest Matthias Church Layout

                               

                                     

This is a layout of our Viking Grand European Cruise back in June 2024. I dug out some older papers from7 Gypsies' Gypsy Market Sharne and Moe. I fussy cut the image from the Sharne pattern paper, and added black paper to the back to make it more sturdy as well as stand out. I had custom made leather copied paper I had purchased for junk journaling and used that for the mats. The tag is another previously handmade and used for this. Letters were added to the ThermoWeb weave ribbon at the bottom. Bling also.

Guest Designing for Word Art Wednesday-Waffle Flowers

 January starts with my guest design spot for Word Art Wednesday and I am honored to play with their wonderful word art again for 2025. For this card, I used a new die from Waffle Flower called Snowflake Cluster to showcase them as our sponsor this week. The die itself cut beautifully and I used the arrangement of the snowflakes as a perfect backdrop for the verse. I did cut one of the snowflakes away from the cluster to use later. The bg was made with Distress Oxide inks and splattered with Silver Tattered Angels spray to add dimension and shimmer. I took the printed sentiment verse and die cut it into a circle then used Versa Mark added around the edges of it and used Ranger Silver Embossing Powder to add even more shimmer around the edge. Love all of the sparkle and shine. Enjoy and come play along for the chance to win a gift certificate for Waffle Flower Stamp company!!
