Mama-razzi

I'm experiencing a rare, snowy, October day in Delaware today.  This seemed like the perfect opportunity to do some scrapbooking. (like I need an excuse)  I've been wanting to use the BoBunny Mama-razzi paper for some pictures of my kids.  I am using the sketch from the BoBunny Layout Challenge Friday. The sketch was created by Gabrielle Pollacco. Here is the sketch.




















Here is my layout.  The journaling says: "Yes . . . I will take your picture EVERY year on the last day of camp." 



































The embellishment in the lower left was inspired by a sticker on the "Say Cheese" cardstock sticker sheet.  I chose to build it with more dimension by using a square of paper, flower, twine, and a dimensional sticker.

Christmas card ideas

Close To My Heart has a great Stamp of the Month set available in October.  It features great designs for making Christmas cards and decorations.



I used this stamp set to make some cute 6" x 6" cards.

The first card uses the triangle tree stamps.  The second tree is cut down to a smaller triangle and placed behind the larger one.  The larger tree is lifted with foam squares.  The faux-stitching is created using small dashes with a brown marker.

The second card features a small piece of ribbon across the center to 'anchor' the stockings 'hung by the chimney with care'.

On the third card I used the sleigh runner stamp with second generation ink as a guide for paper piercing.  I used a pushpin and created holes in the design evenly spaced around the curves.  I used silver metalic embroidery thread and back stitched along the runner.  The second generation ink virtually disappears under the stitching.  The sleigh is stamped in black and raised with foam tape.
