Christmas Emporium Cards
Hello again! Thank you for stopping by my blog. Enjoy your stay, and if you like what you see, please hit that follow button on the left side of my blog. Okay lets get started. As the title suggests I am going to show you some cards I made with Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium collection. Now some of these cards are pretty basic, but to tell you the truth I had a really hard time with this collection. I don't know if my mojo was on vacation or if the papers were not singing to me. At any rate, I did manage a few cards. I plan on making another set of these, but for now I wanted to let you have a look.
The picture above is a trifold shutter card. I created the file for this card on my Cricut. I thought the stamps that came with the collection were perfect for this card.
Now here is where it's pretty basic. I cut out the postcard sized picture and started layering until it was the size I wanted. I added some punching at the bottom, some twine and a button and your done.
For this card it was more of the same. Cut out the picture and layer. I added some paper to the sides and topped with beads. I then cut out a smidgen of holly leaves. By this time I was getting tired of the black, so for the next card I changed to a tan like brown.
Again more layering and I did add some layered rectangles to the sides. What do you think about the tan? Should I have used the black instead?
Now this is my favorite, the easel card! I love how it turned out.
Well that's all I have for you today. I hope you liked what you saw and please stop by again!

Botanical Tea Layout
Welcome to my blog! I hope you decide to look around and comment on my layouts! If you like what you see please click the follow button on the left. Today I have a layout using Graphic 45's Botanical Tea collection. I have been on a Graphic 45 kick lately, and I know I will do at least one more layout using this collection. The picture of my mother-in-law was perfect for this collection. This is the day of her homecoming dance and she is the queen. The flowers she received that day make this layout shine.
Obviously, I fussy cut the flowers from the collection. I am not the best at this, but I did the best job I possibly could. I love how it turned out. here it is:
Products used include:
Lace
Beaded flourish
Wooden fence
Doily
Border punch
Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink
Cameo button
Thank you for stopping by and please come again!

It's Christmas in July
Today I have a Christmas layout to share with you because it's Christmas in July! For this layout I used the the Christmas Carol collection by Graphic 45. Its a pretty basic layout. Nothing too complicated except for the liquid pearls. Speaking of the liquid pearls, since it has been so long since I scrapped, they did not come out the way I would have liked. They are old so I get what I get. Well on to the sneak peeks.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! Until next time, happy scrapping!

Flapper Fancy with G45
Hello! I am back after an extremely long hiatus. Life got in the way, but I am scrapping again! I changed my blog, so everything feels new again. So today I have a layout to share using Graphic 45's Portrait of a Lady collection. Oh my, do I love these exquisite papers! They flow so nicely that I don't think you could go wrong. They are an old collection but if you can find it, grab it! I give credit for the design to Amarylis Doria. It is one of her old sketches. Now how about some sneak peeks first.
