Prima Doll Christmas Tag!

It is definitely getting closer! Everyone is so excited here in our house! There are Elf On The Shelf happenings, cookies being baked, the tree is decorated, lots of Christmas crafting and concerts to get ready for. I usually don't wrap until right at the last minute, but I did want to get started on my Christmas tags! Karla here today, I thought I'd share this cute Prima Doll Christmas tag!

I used the smaller doll from the Merry Nice Christmas stamp set by Julie Nutting, which is a perfect size for cards and tags. I stamped her on a piece of white cardstock and then paper pieced her outfit with Heidi Swapp Believe paper from the 6x6 paper pad. I just love tights with designs on them! I stamped some snowflakes in the background with a blue tone Kaleidoscope ink pad and layered on a paper pieced bell and some holly berries, both from the stamp set. The tree is hand cut from the Believe paper and edged with some green ink and I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the stamp set.

This cute little diecut poinsettia paper clip at the top left of my tag is by Kelly Purkey in the Holiday Clips set that includes steel dies for a Christmas tree, poinsettia and gingerbread man along with coordinating stamps and other Christmas stamps and sentiments. It's so cute!

Here's the back of my tag. I stamped another holly berry on the back and layered on some mini journalling cards from the Believe paper pack before writing To and From. The ribbon at the bottom of my tag is from my stash and was white before I stained it with the new Lucky Clover Distress Stain by Tim Holtz. This colour is yummy!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you're enjoying your Christmas activities and staying cozy and warm.

Crafty Fun Pocket Pages!

Karla here today to share this pocket page scrapbook layout. I used some of the cut apart journaling cards in the Shimelle True Stories paper collection, as well as cutting some of the papers into cards to fit my pockets. There are so many companies that are now including cut apart journaling cards in their paper lines, and I love that you instantly have coordinating cards and paper!

I created a tag using a 'Craft' journaling card and added some enamel dots to coordinate with the cute polka dot paper.

I cut a camera and Polaroid, and I punched some fun circles as well as hand cutting some banners- all from the papers! Don't be afraid to cut elements from your papers to create your own matching paper ephemera. A little blue ink around the edges pulled it all together. Perfect to document my daughter's crafty fun!

This cute quote, above, is a rub-on that I layered over some watercolored paper that my daughter had created with markers and a paintbrush.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you're inspired to look at elements in your papers to see what other fun things you can do with them!

Cold Family Fun Layout!

Karla here today, and I'm so excited we got skates over the weekend! My 4 and 8 year old girls are really excited to get out on the ice to try them out. I think this year will be a learning year - I haven't actually skated for quite a few years! But, I think it will be fun :) We have cold, snowy weather here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for so many months it really seems like we have to make the best of it. There are a lot of local ice rinks as well as outdoor community rinks, so I'm hoping it will be a fun family activity!

And, since we are already planning winter activities, what better time to scrap some winter pics with this awesome BoBunny Whiteout paper collection?!! I love the glittery shimmer of these papers! I added some papers from my stash that were purples and blues to coordinate and pull in colors from the photos. I used some Distress Inks to sponge around the edges of my paper lightly and added some faux stitching with my black Smash Book pen - Love!

I cut the Family Fun tickets apart and paired them with the COLD letters that came in a coordinating BoBunny paper ephemera pack for my title.

An AC punch that I have made these awesome notebook punches at the top of my paper tag that I tucked behind my photo.

I used the sketch below as a base for my layout - I love using sketches and I find it stretches my imagination for combing patterned papers!

Here are two more recent layouts I've made with this collection - Fresh Powder and Impression! I hope you have a lovely, crafty week, and thanks for stopping by!
