Jingle All-Sorts Mini Album

I wanted to share this Holiday Mini Album I've created for a workshop I'm teaching in December. I used the new Jingle Level 2 paper pack and the Creative Basics papers to cover the My Creations All-Sorts Mini Album. The Posterboard Alphabet and a variety of stamps, punches and ribbon were used to embellish.
The cost of this workshop is $30 and includes all the supplies and instructions needed to complete this Mini Album. Makes a great Christmas gift! If you are in the Calgary area and would like to join me for this workshop on December 6th, please contact me at bigredscraps@hotmail.com.

Priceless Lace

I've had this lace in my stash for weeks now and I've really been trying to use it. I think I've tried it on every project and it just didn't work. I was browsing through the new Papercrafts Magazine on the weekend and was inspired by a card on page 77 by Ashley Newell. Less than 15 minutes to complete, I think it turned into a beautiful baby shower card. Supplies: Perfect Day Paper Pack, Dream Wishes Stamp Set, Colonial White, Sorbet, Chocolate Cardstock, Sorbet Ribbon, SU Button

Western Winter - Got Sketch? #91

I used Got Sketch?- Sketch #91 to create this layout. I've been wanting to scrap these photos for awhile, I took them while on a Scrapbook Retreat to the Bloomin' Inn Ranch in 2008. The snow fell hard that weekend, it was beautiful. I can't wait until February, the return trip is long over-due! Supplies: Sarsaparilla Paper Pack, Black, Twilight, Colonial White Cardstock, HeartFelt Diecuts, Thickers Letter stickers, Twill and Brads

1 More Christmas Card with Mojo

Here is my card based on Sketch 110. That's 2 Mojo Monday Challenges in a row, I'm on a roll! And I couldn't resist another Christmas card. I just love this snowboarding Penguin from the stamp set, Winter Fun. Sadly, this stamp set will be retiring at the end of December. The sentiment is from another retiring stamp set, Chillin'. The image is stamped with Staz-On onto watercolour paper and coloured using CTMH markers. I used a small paint brush and blended with water. I added a little sparkle with a Sakura Gel pen (impossible to photograph) and some rhinestones for some bling! Supplies: Jingle Paper Pack and Creative Basics, Winter Fun, Chillin' Stamp Sets, Snowflake Embossing folder, White Daisy, Tulip, Baby Pink Cardstock, Tulip, Baby Pink, Blush Markers, Staz-On, Organdy Ribbon, Rhinestones
