Snowy Day Layout

Some times you get lucky.  I had these cutouts and they matched perfectly with this scrapbook paper that I have.  It sure made for a quick and easy page.  Sometimes, it's the little things that make you smile.  Love the Christmas lights that my son put on his head.  Silly boy.  Sure do love him.  He brings such love and joy into our home.  So grateful for him.

Snowman Swing Card

Do you want to build a snowman?  I had fun making this swing through snowman card for some challenges this week.  Isn't it sweet!  I just got these stamps and wanted to use them so it was perfect.  Love these little guys!

Love You 2 Pieces Layout

I have been trying to get caught up on some scrapbooking and so I have been watching challenges to get me going.  Today, I a challenge to use stripes and an anything goes.  I had this striped paper on hand and decided it would go well with these photos.  Yeah!  Once again loving the print and cut!  I had made a couple of these titles awhile ago and it worked great for this layout too! Love using those items I have on hand with new ones.  Another page done!  Yeah!  Title I made myself but the print and cut are from Treasure Box Designs.

Let It Snow Layout

Winter fun!  We love playing in the snow!  These cute little snowmen and snowmobile rider are from Treasure Box Designs.  I did them in print and cut too.  My goal this week is to do as many odd ball pictures that I have laying around as possible.  You know.....the ones that you have a few photos of different events that you've never gotten around to doing.  I have a whole stack of those and I am trying to get them done and in the book.  Print and cut is making it possible to do that.  Woo hoo!  It also helps that I found a challenge to motivate me on this page.  LOL.  Love that!

Hello There Winter Bear Card

I got some new stamps, enamel dots, embossing folders and washi tape so this is what I came up with!  Lovin' this stamp set.  So fun!  Tried a new fun technique with my embossing snow folder too.  Just did the top and bottom.  Was a fun way to play with new supplies.

Christmas Jar Tags

I LOVE how this turned out.  I still need to add some twine on my tag, but LOVE it.  On the back I did a print and cut that says "From our house to yours" and then our names.  I think these will look so cute on our neighbor gifts.  So much fun!  This was modified from a file from My Scrap Chick.  Instead of a card, I just made a tag.  So fun!   I don't remember what stamp set my Merry and Bright came from, but it was a perfect fit on my tag!

Baby It's Cold Outside Layyout

Here's another quick page.  Once again, I'm thankful that my journaling was on the photos as these were taken 3 years ago.  I'm glad I didn't loose that detail since I am so far behind on my scrapbooking.  Before I started to make all my embellishments, I was actually caught up on my scrapbooking.  Then I started to make all my own embellishments because the designers are so good at making cute files.  Unfortunately, it takes so much longer to create everything and I got so far behind.  I love being able to catch up some and spend more time on some pages and less on others.  I also like getting some of these "odd ball or left over" pictures done and in books.  Better in the album, than in my to do pile!  Love this little snowman.  He's one of the Little Scraps of Heaven files and the title was a freebie from Miss Kate's Cuttables again.  Have I mentioned I love free files?  The designers are always so generous!  Thank you so much!!!!

Snowman Gift Card

 I needed some gift card holders for Christmas so I found this fun little envelope holder and got to work on making some.  This one I used the little snowman from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I  think he turned out cute!  Love that little hat too!

http://www.hidinginmycraftroom.com/2015/12/himcr-229-super-scraps-saturday.html I used my green and white paper scraps to  make this.  :-)

Parrot Christmas Gift Card Holder

Here's a little gift card holder that I made using the parrot from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I think he's so cute!  Even a cute little parrot wants to go on a sleigh ride in the snow!  Can you tell it's been snowing here?  LOL.  For the Clear it Out Challenge, the paper is probably at least 6 years old....that counts right?  Hoarder comes to mind.........

Snowman Belly Box

Isn't this little guy cute!  I made 8 of them the other day for the young women that I teach in church.  I plan on making a few more for music teachers, bus drivers, ladies that I go visit each month etc.  I think they will be cute with a little bag of Hershey's kisses.  Fun fun.  This is a My Scrap Chick file and it was so easy to assemble.  Love it.  I have a group of ladies coming over and we are going to mass produce this little guy.  He was my attempt to make sure it would be fun and easy.  Now on to the gingerbread one.

Gingerbread Belly Box

So the snowman belly box that I did the other day from My Scrap Chick turned out so cute and easy to assemble, I decided to make his friend.  I love this one too.  I made 8 snowmen and only 1 of this little guy so far, but I will be making more of them.  So cute and fun!  Hope everyone likes them this year!

You Warm My Heart Layouts

You warm my heart layouts.  Love these cute little animals.  What a fun way to showcase some winter photos.  Don't their little hats and the snow just make you want to be inside where it is warm and cozy?  Me too.  This time of year, I just want to curl up by the fire with a good book or hide in my scraproom with a cup of cocoa making cute little files!  LOL.

Snowman Layout

I made some extra snow men the other day when I made my card for the snowman challenge.  Today I decided to use a couple of them on this layout.  So fun.  I love these guys.  They are Little Scraps of Heaven files.  I love her cuts.  I have lots of designers that I love.  I just need more time to work with all their files!  LOL.  I have so many I probably won't cut 1/2 in my lifetime!  ha ha ha.  Sad but true....any one else a file and paper hoarder with me?

Snowman Card and layout pieces

I've wanted to use this little snowman for a long time but as I said before, I haven't scrapped much this last year.  Well they were having a snowman challenge and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to pull him out and make him! So I actually made 6 of these little guys and then a title to go with them to use on a scrapbook page.  Since I couldn't resist using him right now, I decided to make a quick card too!  A win win.  A card and enough pieces to make a layout!  Yeah!   The snowman is called "vintage snowman" and he's a Little Scraps of Heaven Designs file and the title is from Miss Kate's Cuttables.   Have I ever mentioned that I love MTC for the versatility of using files?  I knew that the format of this title wouldn't ever really work on my page and so I just moved things around and adjusted the size so that I know it will fit.  The snowmen I modified too to make the snowman actually only two cuts plus his hat and scarf.  I don't like to glue on eyes and buttons so I just cut them out and put a black backing on it  so they show through.  Much easier!

Snow Bunny and Snowman Card

Well, it's been a few months since I scrap booked and to be honest, I haven't done a whole lot in the last year.  It's been nice to actually create something again.  Here's a fun little card that I made using some of my Christmas stash!  I love the little bunny and pink as a winter color.  The little bunny is from a KaDoodle Bug Designs set that has been retired.  I think she's so cute though.  One of the reasons I haven't been scrapping lately is I haven't found a "reader" that I like since google reader shut down.  I know a lot of people switched to bloglovin, but I don't like that I can't search the listings.  I like to search for the current challenges and haven't found one that will search the title AND the content.   Has anyone found a reader that you can actually do a search like that on?  Sometimes it's nice to search by a topic in a the list and I haven't found one that will do that yet.  Very sad....  If you've found one you love, please let me know.  I've tried 3 or 4 and none of them have a search function that will search the content and the title.  Sigh....  Anyway, I've missed the motivation that the challenges give me and so I tried searching the blogs I follow the hard way to see what challenges were going on.  I found several but boy, it took a long time.  Since I went to all that work, I'm entering it into these challenges!  LOL.  Please share if you've found a good reader....I'm getting desperate around here!  :-)

Let It Snow Layout Reindeer

 

Aren't these little guys adorable.  I love them!  They are a set from Scrapping Bug Designs and perfect for my winter pages.  The shopping our stash blog is having a challenge to use your oldest designer paper.  I have so much paper, I don't know what is my oldest, however, I have had this stack forever so that should qualify!  LOL.

Snow Layout

I've had this picture of my hubby for a little while and finally got around to doing a two page layout with it and additional pictures of him and the guys snowmobiling.  He's such a wonderful husband and father and I am so lucky.  The guys decided to do one of his favorite rides last weekend, but instead of going on Friday like they usually do, they went on Saturday and so my hubby decided to stay home because our son had a basketball game....which they won! Woo hoo.  I am blessed with an amazing husband who always puts his family first and together we have great kids!

I'm entering this one at My Sheri Crafts below:
