Chalkboard Mini

I've had the pleasure to once again participate in the May Arts Ribbon challenge.

This round I requested all red and white trim and layered it on black cardstock.

 

 

The instructions for the Mini-Album are featured on the Just Imagine Crafts blog.

 

The Ribbon Wrapped Case is this months Special Ops assignment on the SWAT blog.

Paper Girls Challenge Blog:#46

 

~ Christmas Product ~

 

For this layout I used Carta Bella, "So this is Christmas."

These photos were taken during the summer but the tones were perfect for this paper line.

I live in a rural area where traffic is not an issue. Throughout the summer my neighbor's dog would visit me in the evenings. She'd look in the screen door then wait for me to come out and play. She enjoyed being petted then would wander off to her next friend.

Supplies:

Paper:Carta Bella

Ink & Stamp:CTMH

Alpha & Ribbon:MME

Lace:Pink Paislee

Sewing Supplies:WeRMrK

Stars:Prima, Carta Bella, Denise P.

Goodbye Chester

This year our family will be moving over the Christmas holiday. This means goodbye to our beloved ferret, Chester. We are sad to see him go, but found him a wonderful home and are happy knowing that someone else will be getting a ferret for Christmas.

~ Goodbye Chester ~

For the snowflake outline I cut an 8" circle and then traced the Star Template in the center. I used the points of the star to line up Punch #312 (with Insert A) so that the design was evenly distributed around the circle edge. I then used this punched circle as a mask for modeling paste.
This layout is my entry for the C'est Magnifique sketch.

Paper:Webster's Pages, Pink Paislee

Deck The Halls!

SWAT Drill #21
A Christmas Carol

Today's challenge is to use a Christmas carol
for the title of your layout.

This one was a snap for me.
Our day-after-Thanksgiving tradition is
1.Pie for Breakfast

2.Pajamas all Day

3.Decorate for Christmas

Of course I snapped a photo of our hard work!

This project is also my entry for December's
Scrappy Friends Challenge.

Rochelle challenged us to use a song from 2013 on our layout. I chose the following line from Suit and Tie by Justin Timberlake.

"sit back and enjoy the light show"

Kristi's challenge was to make it sparkle. I used gold paint, glittery stickers, gold ribbon, sparkly twine, and paper with gold dots.

Brenda provided the sketch, which I turned twice to the right:
