Christmas Angel...

I love this set of stamps called "Just Dream" from The Angel Company, I made this card months ago for the Winger Design Team over on Paper Wings. (If you have not been over to Paper Wings you should check it out, there is a wonderful gallery that is open to everyone, filled with lots of incredibly talented Angels creations!!)

These angels are large images and so much fun to color!! I love the fact that you can totally change the mood of of your project just by changing the colors and sentiment. There are four different angels in the set, this is my favorite, I hope that you enjoy her too!

Angel Art Challenge : Winter

This months Angel Art Challenge theme is "Winter" I decided to use this accordion tag album that I have had for awhile, to make a little winter decoration for our house. The snowmen are part of a vintage set that is available from The Angel Company this month, it's called 'Hello Winter'. I wish that I had, had it for the whole Christmas season, I could have used it on a lot more of my projects!! The scarves around their necks are great for paper piecing!! All the paper is scraps form previous projects. I love how this one turned out, I hope that you enjoy it too!! Don't forget to check out all the other Angels that are participating in the Angel Art Challenge...

More cards!

Here are two cards from my class at Scraps of Life this weekend. It was a great class, with some really wonderful gals. These papers are from We R, really fun double sided papers in nontraditional colors!

I have really been in love with snowflakes this year, I just can't get enough of them, glittered, frosted, pearled, flocked, I just love them! I am so glad that I can still use them for wintery cards and pages after Christmas!!

More Packaging...

I hope that you all had a most wonderful Thanksgiving!! This year was a really great one for us, spent with family, enjoying each other and lots of yummy food!

I am having so much fun creating cute little gift packages out of all of the odds and ends I have been collecting. I am looking forward to baking a bunch of goodies to fill them all up too!!

I am really exited about the holidays this year, although I had a small moment of panic today when I realized just how close Christmas is!! Yikes!! And the fact that my kiddos will be out of school in just a few short weeks, oh my! Thanks for stopping by....

Creative Packaging...

Here are a couple more items from my Creative Packaging Class. I had such a great time with this class, thank you to all those who came or got a kit!!
I must give full credit for the drink carrier to Lauren Meader, she is an incredibly talented and amazing papercrafter, and she gave me permission teach and share this wonderful creation of hers! Thank you Lauren!!! Check out her blog, there is a link on my side bar, you are sure to be inspired!

The candy box is not a new idea, but it is such a fun project and you can change it up so easily just by changing your paper and colors!

Stamps used for these two projects are by Kim Hughes (love her stuff!) from Cornish Heritage Farms. Patterned paper is from my minds eye, I think that this is my favorite paper this year. I want to go get a ton of it and hoard it, but I am being good....really I am!

I hope you all are having a most wonderful weekend! Thanks for popping in!

Sonja Meets Willoughby

I love this line of paper from The Angel Company, it's called Willoughby, it's just beautiful. It's one of my very favorites. I made this sometime back for the Winger Design Team over on Paper Wings, it is a Sonja Purse, it comes plain and you add the paper of your choice. There is also a little mini album that you can decorate to match! I hope you are having a most wonderful weekend! Hey and does anyone know what happened to the beginning of November, it seems like the month just started, how did we get to the middle already!??

Upcoming Classes You Don't want to Miss!

I am very exited to share some of my upcoming classes with you today! Here are some previews of 3 classes that I will be doing for the holiday season. The cards are part of my Christmas card classes that I have been teaching every month. These are from the next class which will be held on Saturday Nov. 8th, there are still some spots left if you are interested in joining us, or let me know if you would like a kit!! I think these are my favorite so far, I love the paper and they are so sparkly!!

The Star Book is one of my all time favorite projects, there is a lot of WOW to this little album, but it is actually quite simple to make!! In the class we will be making the 6"x 6" size but I will give you directions for two other sizes as well, stacked they make a beautiful Christmas "tree", great for a table decoration!! This class will now be held on Saturday Dec. 13th.

Finally the last picture is of a CD mailer that I have turned into a gift card holder with a matching ornament to tuck inside. This will be part of my "Creative Packaging" Class to be held on Friday Nov. 14th. There are several projects for this class, I am really exited about all of them!! If you would like to see more drop by Scraps of Life and take a peek!

If you are interested in any of these classes, or if you would like to order a kit, please contact Scraps of Life! Hope to see you there!
