It's time for some more Christmas card inspiration! Today I want to share a couple more cards we made at my class last week.   Christmas Cheer- For this card, I used up some of my Washi Tape stash to make a tree.   Chocolate Woodgrain , Gold Polka Dot & Sparkle n shine.    I added some sparkles & a Gold sequin to finish the card off.  I stamped Christmas Cheer from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set .  This reindeer card was inspired by Close To My Heart.  They created cards like this for an Operation Smile Auction and an event I recently attended.  The background of this card is a Paper Fundamentals pattern.  The reindeer was cut from Cricut Artistry , and adorned with some colored sparkles & gems.  I stamped Christmas Greetings from the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp set.  Check back in tomorrow to hear all about my Black Friday Steals & Deals! 

Last week I shared with you a couple of Christmas Cards that I created with White Pines Papers , White Pines Picture My Life Cards and Paper Fundamentals .   Today I want to share with you another of the cards we created! For this NOEL card, I took the Picture My Life Card and trimmed it down a little.  I used the Ruby Paper Fundamentals paper, and cut a bow using Cricut Artiste .  The white background paper is embossed with the Cascading Stars Folder.    Joy! This card was created similar to the "Peace" card I shared last week.  I cut the Picture My Life Card to fit, and cut some of the borders from other cards as accents.  I used the New England Ivy Paper Fundamentals for the background.  I added Silver Shimmer Trim and sparkles to finish the card off. Picture My Life cards are not just for scrapbooking, they make great cards too!  

Today I would like to share with you my entry in the Fresno Fair Home Arts Exhibits- Scrapbooking Around Fresno.  This layout is of my kids and I at the Pumpkin Patch last year.  I earned a Second Place ribbon for this one.   For this layout, I used the (retired) Scaredy Cat papers & Compliments, adding some Purple Glitter Paper too.   If you like this layout, take a look at the scrapbook kit that I used to create it.  I have ONE kit left... let me know if you want it!

For the last couple years, I have entered some of my favorite layouts, cards and other projects into the Fresno Fair Home Arts Exhibits.  I have been blessed by 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons, Best of Show and Sweepstakes Ribbons.   This year is no different!  I entered 22 projects and came away with 15 ribbons this year and a Sweepstakes award!   Over the next week, I will show you some of my projects :) This is a Baby Boy Mini Album that was created using the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.  The entire album is full of cricut cuts.  It's super cute and I was excited to see it won 1st place for Die Cutting Machine Mini Album.

This was a fun layout to design.  I used several Cricut cuts from both Artiste and Artistry.   Cricut Artistry Cricut Artiste Products used: Nevermore Paper Pack Cricut Artistry Cricut Artiste Grey & Black Epoxy Bubbles LOVE this layout???

It's Watercolor Paints mania around here!!!   Today's card was created using the La Vie En Rose papers & Compliments, along with the beautiful stamp set Blossoming Expressions . I finished the card off with a Gold Bling Gem !  I just love the color combo of red, back and white.  Throw a little blue (watercolor paint) in there and it gives it a retro love feel!   Are you loving these watercolor cards???  I have a couple more that I'll share with you next week, after my class!  

Did you know that Close To My Heart has come out with a  Watercolor Paint  set??? I absolutely LOVE playing with these fun paints!   I had a great time playing with paint to create this card.  I simply used a thin brush, and long vertical strokes to create a "grass" effect.  Then I tore the paper and layered it.   The Paper Garden- September Stamp of the Month was the perfect addition to this card.  I love that the flowers coordinate with Cricut Artistry too :) I stamped them in new colors- Pomegranate and Eggplant.   I finished off the card with some of the awesome new Paper Fundamentals Black Glitter Assortments .   Don't forget the Stamp of the Month is available this month only.  It's just $5 with your $50 purchase.   I have a couple more watercolor cards to share with you, so make sure you check back :)

Did you know that Close To My Heart has come out with a Watercolor Paint set??? I absolutely LOVE playing with these fun paints!   I feel like a kid again painting, it's exhilarating!! I will be sharing more cards with you this week... but here's the first: I used green watercolor to paint the bottom part of the card, then stamped it with "Don't let anyone dull your sparkle." from the Diamonds are Foreve r stamp set.  Then keeping with the Diamond theme, I cut a border of Diamonds from Cricut  Artistry , along with the Fab title.   Black Glitter paper along with the Yellow Bokeh patterned paper from Kaleidoscope were perfect! Check back later this week to see some more watercolor cards :)
