Magical Memories - LM 697

It has been amazing getting back into the crafty chair lately. 
Of course it's much easier working with a great promo pack from Scrapbook Fantasies. 
The Magical Memories collection by Alicia Redshaw is full of designs that you can honestly create so many different projects it's truly unlimited with possibilities. 

For this layout I chose one of the amazing sketches shared by Lasting Memories layout challenge blog this month. We all know I love a good sketch, so of course it was the first option when I started to play with the leftovers of the collection. 

Beautiful

This fun sketch was perfect for some of the scraps and pattern papers. 

I started with two Magical Memories # 3 sheets. 
The first I used as the base piece. The second I cut 12"x5" and again 12"x4". 
The pink Glitter cardstock has two 1" strips as well. 

Plus two wooden strips leftover from another layout. 

Start by layering the # 3 mats on top of each other and them stick down in the middle of the page. I love the idea of the base pattern and the top middle pattern flowing together as an illusion. 

I chose to adhere the glitter strips flush to the top and bottom instead of under or on top. 

The wooden strips though, I did stick on as extra layer elements. 

A simple photo on top. Add the colour cut clusters and title. 

Very basic, but great for scrappers of all levels. Beginning can follow along the sketch or Advanced crafters can add and adjust as much as they want and make it their own.

Christmas card mail-out

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This year, I was inspired by a fellow Sassy crafter Shannon to try something a bit new for card bases.. I loved it so much I'm actually going to give it a go with trying to adapt it to a Scrapbook layout too.. :) 

Anyway, it's such a fun technique of cluster stamping in a sort of cross in the middle of your plain cardstock, then cutting that cardstock up into the 4 sections sized for the card toppers. 
I got a little carried away and didn't exactly follow the concept of a cross though.. oops.. lol.. 

I actually ended up with 3 different stamp set designs (only two are included below, sorry)
I stamped with a solid Black, a Coral ink and Forrest green ink to coordinate best with the OUTBACK EVE collection - Kaisercraft. The added a little Gold ink for the stencil that matches with the gold glitter cardstock I added as a topper. I finished off the cards by inking all edges with a Golden Black ink so it wasn't as harsh as the stamped black images. 

In total I made 24 of these cards... And most of them have found their way to the USA and one to the UK... 

We would like to wish all of my crafting friends and family a very Merry Christmas, I hope you all have a lovely and wonderful day fill with great moments that will become memories cherished and a bright New Year coming ahead. Toni, Lane & Hunter.. xoxo

Christmas swap box & projects - AB Studios Christmas Days

 I grabbed this AB Studios - Christmas Days collection a year ago at a local retreat weekend and have been “saving” it… I don’t know what I’ve been saving it for, just didn’t want to use it cause it’s so cute.

But of course that just doesn’t do my overflowing craftroom any good..

As I signed up for another upcoming Christmas swap, I thought it would be the perfect collection to use.

Criteria is a bag / holder + Shaker card + Tag and include a Recipe.. Using the same papers for the all the projects.

I had so much fun, I added a couple extras.

Rosettes, Notepad, Bookmark & Bauble..

Oh So... layout

 Oh So.... 

I had so much fun putting this layout together.. 

Not so much fun was the preparation that I needed to do about 2 hours of fussy cutting before getting started.. ekk.. 

I noticed a post on an online challenge group that I'm a part of for a monthly challenge closing. I had actually completely forgotten about the challenge was was pretty happy to see that it was a challenge that would be easy enough to do in the day.. 

We had a follow a sketch and criteria of "plenty of fussy cutting".. 

The beautiful Uniquely Creative - Summer Holiday collection made the process of putting this layout together super easy and took less than 30mins (after the fussy cutting.. lol) 

and of course some Pink shimmer glitter paper to make everything else pop!
