The Quilted Scrapper

I cannot believe it has been a year since I have updated my blog! I will not go that long again! My personal resolution is to have better work/life balance during the school year so I can spend time relaxing and crafting. Close to My Heart right now is having an amazing special. The Share the Seasons  stamps and thin cuts covers both fall and winter holidays and scenes. I love how both cards turned out using only 2 different color of cardstocks and some ink pads! Stay tuned for more cards later this week.

I am almost finished scrapbooking 2012. I only have a few events left! I ran across these Christmas photos from 2012 and the new Berry Christmas paper pack and complements was perfect for this layout.

  I have had so much fun creating Christmas cards this holiday season. This card was made using the White Pines paper pack, Christmas Post  stamp set and Hand-Letter Christmas . I used the retired white shimmer trim and colored with a ShinHan Marker . I also colored the snowman with ShinHan markers.  All supplies are available from my website . 

Our power was out this past weekend and I had the opportunity to stay home from work (school cancelled for 3 days) and did a little crafting. I love the White Pines paper packet from Close to My Heart. I also love creating box cards. They look complicated, but this tutorial from SplitCoast stampers shows how quickly they can come together.  To create this card I used White Pines paper packet, White Pines Assortment, White Pines Compliments and Glacier Twine.  All supplies can be ordered here .

Like many of you, I am so far behind on scrapbooking that if I don't get some pictures on all my pre-made layouts and use Studio J for some of them my son will be graduating high school and I won't have first grade scrapped!

Here are the four Christmas layouts I completed over the weekend:   Not only do you get an excellent deal on layouts this month, with your purchase you will also be entered into a drawing for my Virtual Open House prizes.
