Cheery card

I am right in the middle of making all my handmade holiday cards.  Here is another one.

This paper is so cute!  I love how playful yet sophisticated this card is. 

I used Imaginisce 'Christmas Cheer' paper, EK Success 3D dots and 'Diamond' Stickles.

Snow-fun

It took a few months, but I finally printed and scrapped these photos of the boys playing in the snow.  I'm glad I did it before it starts to snow this winter.

I put this together at a crop.  I love when the papers help with most of the designing.  The hearts are a 'Fancy Pants' transparency.  The snowflakes are a punch.  I really like how this turned out.

Harvesting Memories Bloghop

Hello!  Welcome to my part of the 'Harvesting Memories' bloghop.

You should have come here from Haidee.  If you want to start at the beginning, go to Lisa's blog.

For this hop we all made something relating to fall.  My project is this card.

I used an 'Action Wobble' behind the leaf so it will bounce all over like it's floating in the wind.  All the leaves are die cuts, punches or paper from DCWV.  Mustard 'Stickles' also dot the card.  I think this is festive and rather cheerful.



Please continue on to Melissa's blog.  If you want to see the whole list of blogs, here it is:

Thank you for visiting.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

In the car too

Monkey see, monkey do.  That is why he jumped in the car with Daddy too.  (That rhymed, what luck.)

I assembled this at a crop which is why it's simpler than some other layouts.  I added the ribbon and brads at home.  Isn't it cute?

In the car

My son hopped in the car with his Dad.  Of course they paused for me to take a picture.

 I scrapped this at a crop, that is why it's simpler and has mostly paper.  I still love how it turned out. 

Sharing Posts

Emily was very kind and included me in her posts about thankful trees.  To return the favor, please check out her blog Nap Time Creations and all the wonderful trees she is showcasing. 

Thanks and have a great day!

Love Presents card

'Tis the season to make a lot of cards.  This one has a wintery background, but I'm sure it can be used for any occasion.

I used EK Success 3D dots to make the tag and green bag stand out.  There is actual tissue paper in the bag.  DCWV paper provides all the shimmer and bling and I added a few Stickles accents in the corners.

I can't wait to send it to someone.

A Winner!

We had such a wonderful weekend seeing all the thanks inspired projects.  I would like to announce Jamie as the winner of the blog candy.  Congratulations and thank you for hopping with us!

'THANKful' Bloghop Day 2

I hope you all enjoyed hopping with us yesterday.  Today we have even more creations to share for

the ‘Thankful’ Bloghop!  This is the time of year we really reflect on what we have to be thankful for.  One of those things I am thankful for is scrapbooking and all the crafts, supplies and people that go along with it.  A group of people is joining me today, and tomorrow, to share projects that all have the word ‘thank’ on them.

In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too.  If you comment on everyone’s bloghop post you will be entered to win the goodies.  You don’t have to become a follower of the ‘Afternoon Scrapper’ blog too, but it would be great if you did.  The prize is a mix of paper, stickers, mists, stencils stickers and more as pictured here:

Yesterday I shared my fall decor project.  Today I have a cute card to share.

It took less than 30 minutes to make this card.  I used Imaginisce and DCWV paper with a Scrappy Moms stamp and a brad.  For me, using purple was a bonus.


Please enjoy these other projects people have made.  This the line up for today's part of the hop:

For my project, I had a great time making some fall decor for the house. 

To make it stand upright I bent the grassy ends and made a support for the back of the tree.

I used 'Happy Hauntings,' 'Spring Fever,' 'Winter's In The Air,' and 'SpongeBob' cartridges with DCWV paper, Fiskars stamps, ink, brads, floss, Prisma Color Markers and Thickers.


Now please check out all the other AWESOME projects everyone created.  Here is the line up for today:

'Not' Peeking

My boys were told to cover their eyes while things were being hidden.  They almost made it...

My younger son started peering through his eyes first.

This layout is simpler but I really like how it turned out.  It has Fancy Pants, DCWV, Paper Studio, and Thickers.
