Just Chillin

Hello........I hope you all enjoyed a very MERRY CHRISTMAS !

There is a new  Die Cut challenge at "Stuck on U Sketches"

Snowflakes

This is how we spent Christmas two years ago.......the kids saw snow for the first time! Matt could not wait to make his first Snow Ball.....which he kept in Grandma's freezer!




I used a Cuttlebug die to cut the Snowflakes, Winter Frolic cricut cartridge for the snowman and titles, Go Canada for the flags and Accent Essential for the arrows.

I don't think I'll be back until after the New year.......so I'd like to wish you a Very Happy New Year !!

Thankyou so much for visiting.....I hope to get some time to visit you  soon :)

Angel.......

Hello,
I'm so surprised with how much free time I have.......so, I'd like to show you a layout I created yesterday.

This is a photo of a friends grand daughter.....I made this layout for her!
I 'd like to share a short (I hope I can make it short) story  about it....below the photos.



Recently my friends mother in law died.....she requested to have her ashes sprinkled on her favourite beach, to be with her husband who had died a few years earlier. Kara was very close to her great grand mother and requested she be a part of the day. She chose this pretty white dress, tiara and requested 'Angel wings'.
In Kara's mind she thought if she was an angel the two grandparents would meet up quicker.
So with a hand full of glitter (which she insisted on), mixed with the ashes she proceeded to sprinkle it over the water.

I found a little Angel in my stash , along with the sentiment....which I thought was  perfect for the day! All the sequins represent the glitter.

A Big thank you  for stopping by

Merry Christmas

Picking wild flowers.......

Hello.... Happy Sunday to you all!

I'm more organised than I thought I'd be for Christmas..........with a little time to spare today I created this layout for the challenge at "White....with 1" 
This month we have been asked to use the colour....
White with Banana
I'm having so much fun creating with the cricut "Art Booking" cartridge........I really love the overlays, specially this tree! 



Water colour crayons were used to colour the tree and some splatters of mist.
Buttons, sequins, gems , flowers , stitching and some glittery letters......

I love this photo of my children.....it was taken on a trip back to Canada , where we  introduced them to their relatives.
How time flies :)

Time to start Christmas baking.......enjoy your week

Cherish......

I took some time out yesterday from Christmas stuff  to create this layout for the challenge at D-lish Scraps.



Look at this gorgeous Inspiration Board . 
I was inspired by the.......Sketch, Colours, flowers, flourish and mobile phone cover.


I used Cricut "Art Booking" Cartridge to create the background overlay. While it was stuck to the cutting mat I painted it in gold to created an Ombre look. I used 'Art Philosophy' to cut the gold scallop border. I also painted some of the flowers.

Ok.....time to get back on track for Christmas !

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.......Have a great day!

More Cards...........

Hi everyone,
This is what I have been  doing  :) Production line Christmas cards!



The papers are from an older kaiser collection.....along with the little present embellishment and rubons on the tag. I'm really trying hard to use up what I have in my stash! But sometimes that is so hard when I see so many  gorgeous new papers .

In between making cards I've been  busy decorating the house

Love my Shabby tree in the entry......

And..... this one is in my living room.

I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well.....

Happy Creating
