The Quilted Scrapper

We had the most amazing vacation last March when we had the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Orlando Florida. Needless to say I have hundreds (maybe thousands) of photos. These three picture from the "Tree of Life" at Animal Kingdom were perfect for the CTMH Paper Enchantment Fundamental papers. I used a sketch that was available from CTMH in November during one of their campaigns. I look forward to hopefully getting a few more layouts done this month from our trip.

December flew by and I did not get near as many projects done as I had anticipated. I am glad there is still a week left to see what I can do during Christmas break. I started the White Pines Workshop on the Go  at the beginning of December and finally finished it tonight. I was fortunate to have pictures to put on the layout and this completed scrapbooking 2011!!!    I love how easily the Workshops on the Go from Close to My Heart go together and include everything you need, directions, paper, embellishments and stamps.  This great kit is only available until December 31, 2015 so orders yours here today. 

The December stamp of the month has so many different possibilities.  I used the jar to create two very different cards. One I used with the flowers and one with the candle.  For this card I used the Zoe  paper packet, Poppy Thick Twine  and ShinHan alcohol markers.  This card used the Purple Glitter Paper For this card I used ShinHan makers to color the candle. I also used black shimmer trim  along with some black durables. The inside is stamped with "Friend, You're a Light In My Life."   This stamp set can be yours for only $5 with any $50 purchase!

I love the versatility of the December Stamp of the Month. I love all the stamps, but the lights are one of my favorite pieces. In order to prepare for the influx of Christmas I went ahead and created some thank you notes to have on hand. I used the White Pines Complements, a piece of Cranberry cardstock, black ink and the December Stamp of the Month (only $5 with any $50 purchase).  All supplies can be ordered here .  December Stamp of the Month

Creating this Christmas cards was so easy, but look very classy. This is the first Christmas I have had co-workers since I started making cards so I am having fun creating cards this year. I used a piece of Cranberry card stock, black shimmer trim ,the Reindeer Bell stamp set and black ink. I used some old ribbon slides I had to create Santa's buckle.
