Holiday Treats with "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Hello, Lynn here with my final layout using this month's "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. It has been a pleasure to be on Noel's Design Team and I will definitely miss working with these kits each week!!
I used mostly Simple Stories papers and embellishments. Our challenge this week is "Decem-brrrr"... use something "icy" on your project like a snowflake shape, vellum, something clear and/or something sparkly. Here's my layout.

I love using vellum. I added an 8x8 piece of vellum from my stash. I love the transparency of vellum and the soft touch it adds to a project. Here's a few close ups. 

I love the gold shimmer in this beautiful green ribbon! Gold sequins also add an extra sparkle on my page. 

The thickers in this month's kit are perfect for Holiday pages and add a nice touch of glitter to my layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have an wonderful 2017!! 

"Oh What Fun" with All the Trimmings

Hello Everyone, Lynn here with my latest layout using this month's "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. Our challenge this week is "All the Trimmings - simply use three different types of embellishments on our project. Here's my page.

I came across this beautiful photo by my talented photographer friend of her adorable daughter. It was perfect for my Holiday page. Here's some close ups. 

Plenty of embellishments on this page ... thickers, washi tape, and an acrylic word.

I added sequins and a decorative paper clip.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season. 

"Wrap It Up" Holiday Cards

Hello Everyone, Lynn here with some Holiday Cards using this month's "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. Last week I created a tree from strips of paper - you can see that layout here. I used the same design to create some Holiday Cards. Our challenge this week is "Wrap It Up". We used both washi tape and ribbon on our projects. I used strips of washi tape and papers to create my trees and a piece of ribbon for the tree trucks. Here are my cards.

I created most of the cards on white with a kraft background. I created one on kraft with a white background and that's my favorite. Here's some close ups.

I love the translucency of the washi tape. The acrylic words included in the kit added a nice touch and dimension to some of my cards. 

Of course, a few sequins and a puffy heart don't hurt either!!!! 

All my cards are size A2. I love the burlap ribbon for the trunks.

My last card.

These holiday cards are quick and easy to put together. I like having handmade cards ready for that someone special.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next week.

"Oh What Fun" and a Plaid Challenge

Hi Everyone, Lynn here with my first layout using this month's beautiful "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. December's Kit is so festive and seriously PACKED with product just in time to document your Holiday Events. 

The team's challenge this week is called "Plaid Tidings". We used Plaid somewhere on our projects. That was easy with this kit - so many plaid options available! I created a tree out of strips of paper for my layout. One of the layers is plaid. Here's my page.

I started by whitewashing a space behind the tree - using gesso and a practically dry brush. I then added layers of paper strips, including a fun piece of vellum from the kit, popping up some of the strips. 

I added several types of embellishments including sequins for some bling. 

I also added some tiny splotches of  Mister Huey's Color Mist in Peppermint to the background and added a piece of ribbon for the tree stump.

Here's one last look at the dimension by popping up some of the paper strips and the acrylic stars.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you have a chance to grab one of these Holiday kits!! 

A Recipe for a Fall Pocket Page

Hello Everyone! Lynn here hoping you all survived Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday! Did you score any good deals? I was tempted but settled with a BOGO calendar for Christmas gifts. 

Today I'm sharing my final pocket page with the "All Fall" Daily Diary Kit. Our challenge this week is a fun one! It's a recipe challenge. Here are the ingredients we incorporated into our projects:

1 - sheet cardstock

2 - alphabets

3 - photos

4 - patterned papers

5 - embellishments

Here's my whole page.

I used my vintage typewriter for my journaling this week.

 For my 1 sheet of cardstock I cut up a piece of cream cardstock and used it under my photos. 2 different alphabets can be seen on the following card.

3 photos was easy peasy. I printed my photos on my Instax Printer for cute polaroid type pics.

4 patterned papers was another easy peasy ingredient - plaid, floral, wood grain and burlap.

5 Embellishments: Simple Stories Clips, Cardstock Stickers, Enamel Dots, Die Cut Shapes and Washi Tape.

Here's the last few close ups. How cute is this bear ...

And the final two cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out our latest challenge. Hope you join us and create something with this recipe!! 

Have a great week and I'll be back next week with a new page with a brand new kit!!

A New Fall Pocket Page with the "All Fall" Daily Diary Kit

Hello Bloggers! Lynn here today with my latest pocket page using the "All Fall" Daily Diary Kit. Our challenge this week is "Family". Simply - create a project using the word Family. This was easy with this month's kit. Here's my page.

I used the Collect App to print my pics. The cards, die cuts and enamel dots I used this week are from Simple Stories "Hello Fall" collection. I also added some Echo Park "Fall is in the Air" Cardstock Stickers. Here's some close ups.

I love a date stamp (when I don't make a mistake!!)

I little twine on the acorn adds some nice texture.

The Echo Park stickers make great embellishments for the cards. 

How cute is this Simple Stories Owl die cut! I just love him! I popped him up with foam tape for dimension so I could layer the feather under him.

Here's where the family comes in. I won't see my whole family until next week so the furry family got together for a photo opp. They all behave so nicely when there's a treat involved!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'd love to see what you create with this amazing kit. Don't have one yet ... there's still a few left in the store - perfect for your Fall photos!! 

See you next week with another pocket page and a brand new challenge!

Hi Everyone, Lynn here with a pocket page using this month's "All Fall" Daily Diary Kit. There are a few of these amazing kits left in the shop so get 'em while you can - there is a TON of Fall themed product in these kits!! Our challenge this week is called Pumpkin Patch. The challenge is to used patches of paper and incorporate stitching on our projects. Here's my page.

I did some stitching on a few of the cards starting with the title card.

Here's more close ups. The colors of these cards go perfectly with my fall tree pictures. How fun is this card ...

I stitched through the title of the next card.

I added some wonky stitching on the next card.

For the patch part of the challenge I layered copies of the same photo to look like patchwork.

Here's my final card. I used one of the chipboard leaves to add some dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week!!!
