Peace & Joy

Happy Holidays to you and your family. May 2017 bring you much Peace & Joy.

Crazy Christmas

Just once I'd like to see someone send a photo card with a crazy family photo.  Wouldn't that be fun?  Here's to you, from all of us.

OWH - Sketch #259

Today's card is my thank you to Sandy Allnock for all the JOY she has brought to card makers like myself and more importantly to all the troops and their loved ones who were fortunate to come across these wonderful works of art.  Here is sketch #259 from Operation Write Home.

Christmas Card Preview

For the last decade or so I have been making my own Christmas Cards using supplies from Stampin' Up! Over the years, some of them have been very elaborate and I've often found myself asking, "What on earth was I thinking?" For the last few years I have been getting my card ideas from Pinterest and they've been much more practical and have not required extra postage. So, here is a preview of this year's card.

OWH - Sketch #239

Happy Saturday. Here is my card for Operation Write Home's sketch #239. The focal point of my card is SU's new "Wondrous Wreath" stamp set and matching framelit sentiment which SU offers as a bundle. Since the wreath was so large I couldn't follow the dimensions of the sketch but I tried to maintain many of the basic components. 

OWH - Sketch #198

Here is this week's card for Operation Write Home's sketch #198. The snowflake is from Stampin' Up's "Festive Flurry" set and the sentiment is from the "Word Play" set. Have a great holiday weekend!

 

Sketch 4

Here is this week's scrapbook sketch from Shimelle, "Scrapbooking with Square Photo Prints". All the paper layers are from Stampin' Up's! Delight In the Day set.  The title is from Sahlin Studio. The page was created using MDS software.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 (December)

What a great way to end a year of tags. This month's December tag is Christmas themed (of course) but there's also a bonus tag from January 2012.  Once again I'm using all Stampin' Up! products when available but there are two non Stampin' Up! items; the poinsettia bling and the crackle paint on January's tag.   Hopefully, I succeeded in demonstrating that you didn't have to go out and buy all new products to emulate Tim Holtz's technique.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season.  At the bottom of my post is a link to all 12 tags.  I can't say that I had a favorite but I was amazed every month at what I could create.
