Christmas Continued!

Whoops, so I forgot about the other Christmas Cards I made,

I will make this a longer post, 

I was looking through phone and was like Dang it!!

So here we Go, 

This season I have found a love for Lawn Fawn.

So I used a lot of their stamps.

Starting With Deck the Halls

I stamped the boughs and snowflakes with 

distress ink - then water coloured them.

I saw this technique on pinterest.

 These Wreaths were fun to make, 

another Pinterest idea that I defiantly got better at the more I made.

Next I used Seasons Tweetings, 

I made coloured birds and brown ones.

i love to try all different things.

After all its Play time!

 I also did a bunch of the envelopes match!

I love this detail.

This is a Mama Elephant Stamp,  I adore these.

I added Glossy accents to noses and bells.

The Sentiment on this one isn't perfect but 

the others were sealed before I realized I needed a picture.

This one was made for a Special friend who loves her coffee.

We have been friends since my oldest was in Kindergarden.

She is a friend that is more like family.

I used the Love you a Latte stamps from 

Lawn Fawn for this card,

Well that wraps the cards up - one last post for the Holidays this week!

A little late - Here's the Christmas Trees!

A little late but better than never.

here are our Christmas trees this year.

Our big one in in the Rec Room downstairs & 

the pencil tree is in the living room where there is not as much room.

My favorite part of decorating my trees is 

all of teh memories that i recall as I place the ornaments on my trees.

Some were made for me, some were a gift, and the rest were purchased

while out with friends over the years..

Well that should be a wrap on Christmas, 

on to the new posts for a new year!!

Christmas Tags

Wrapping up a few Christmas Tags before I get onto 

New Years Business.

here is another tag I made for my exchange, 

I used the Tim Holtz Crazy bird Stamp.

These were a lot of fun to make.  I watercoloured them with Distress ink,

spritzed the background with homemade spray.

Some I sprayed in red and some in green.

I embossed the sentiment & added a Santa hat.

I also made a bunch of these cute car tags

I used craft cardstock and White ink for background, 

I love this look!

Here are some of the other tags that I made this year playing around.

Hope you enjoyed the tags, 

if you don't make tags, I encourage you to!

They are fun and fast!

Lawn Fawn - Seasons Tweetings

Every year my friends and I trade Christmas tags, 

as you may have seen in an early post.

I used the Lawn Fawn Season Tweetings to make one of my tags.

I wanted to try to watercolour the birds with Distress Inks

 Next step was to die cut the birds and twigs.

There was a lot of pieces all together - that was a lot of colouring & cutting.

 Then to make the tags - 

I ran them through the big shot with the snow SU folder.

Then stamped my sentiment.

Then assembly. over & over 

 I changed it up by popping the birds up after a few.

I love the dimension it gives.

Hope you enjoyed them!  

Stop by and check out more to be loaded in the next few days.

Lawn Fawn - Cherry Christmas Christmas Cards

Well I started another batch of Christmas cards, 

and while I adore there ones,

they are very time consuming!!

I used the Lawn Fawn Cheery Christmas Stamp & Die Set.

I found a layout I likes on Pinterest and gave it my own spin.

First it was colouring all stamped images, then cutting them out with dies.

I needed 3 strings of lights for each card 

so there was a lot on running die through for one item.

Then cutting out a blue and  a white background for each item.

The white was then cut again with a stitched rolling hill.

Then assembly.

 times seven.

Then finding background I liked ans lastly,

I used the Glossy Accents for the nose, light bulbs & star.

Once the background was done, I added the bases.

Here as a few of the combinations.

Crop & Create 2017

October was my 4th Crop & Create Event.  

It was awesome as always they never disappoint.

My leg was still pretty sore & injured so I stood most of the time

& did take as many pictures as usual!

 This year we had large sheets of paper to work on.

They were awesome, here is mine with a few of my leftovers around it.

 

Here we are arriving & settling in.

We had these cards in our bags - we had wonderful attendee bags again as always.

I will have pictures of this soon.

The pin is a Doodlebug Enamel Pin, and were available 

for purchase, so of course I had to have one.

 Here is the crew in the new t-shirts we made for the crop.

Here are the little goodie bags that I made for the girls.  

He all have a little goodie for each other.

A few days ago we registered for the Winnipeg Crop & Create in the spring,
