Happy Winter Wishes

Well I hope all your holiday wishes came true. After having a couple of weeks of not being in my craft room,it's time to put my nose back to the grind. It's a new Year and a new challenge.

With that comes Something Old and Something New...that is our challenge this week at Scrap Creations

Now for my OLD I have used my High Hopes Stamp ,he's an oldie but a goodie.For my NEW I used the collection from Pink Paislee SNOW DAY.

I mounted my snowman onto a Maya Road Chipboard Doily.I first inked it with Rangers Snow cap paint then added Rock Candy.Once that was dry I used Tumbled Glass distress ink on it.For me that was a new technique,may be old for others.LOL.  

I also used Rangers Snow Cap Paint along the edges of my papers.It's not a great pic but hopefully you can see well enough.The ribbon is from my OLD stash and the snowflake ribbon is from my new stash.

So as I said in the beginning A new year comes with change.At Scrap Creations we say goodbye to old and hello to new. We have 2 DT members leaving us,we say farewell to Jackie and Frances.We wish them well and thank them for all their great works of art!!You will be missed!

 We also would like to welcome all those who wish to join our team .We have a DT Call opening on Wednesday.Look here for more details...good luck!!

Snowflakes a Fallin'

Today at Scrap-Creations our theme is 

FIRST SNOW.

Although it has not been my first snowfall here in Canada,it has been a slow one.Usually we have a fair bit of snow at this time of year.But I fear not,because it looks like January is supposed to be our big month of snow ! Uggh out comes the backhoe!!

So onto my card...I was inspired by Tosh's card made last year.So I cased it..well hers is MUCH better.That girl has a style that ONLY she can do!!LOL But I thank her for inspiring me.

I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder.The blue round paper is from Tim Holtz,which I embossed with his snowflake stamp in white.I added a acetate snowflake and some bling.Wouldn't be complete without,lol.

Close up... 

Well that's my simple card..Hope you join us!

All about the presents....

It's all about the presents this week at Scrap-Creations.We want to see your creations that uses a present on it or could even be a present. Today I used a Whipper Snapper stamp.What a cute pair ! ! I also played with Kaisercraft paper "Silly Season". Love the Hot pink,lime green and Red??I know, but it works.

I made a present as the background for the pair.I added a little star tag hanging off it. Behind the gift is the largest snowflake from Spellbinders which I covered in stickles.The border punch is from Lifestyle Crafts Gift set .It has 7 dies in it ! ! Check it out here. 

I am hoping you all don't see my booboo.(hint-green bum)LOL.Really need to look better when coloring!

You're my Treasure..xoxo

Good morning ...This week at Scrap-Creations we are going sentimental.

We want to see SENTIMENTS as your main focus on your card.

My card definitely a sentimental card as it is a sympathy card .My Aunt passed away a couple of days ago so I've been trying (and I stress that) to make my family cards.It has been a lot more difficult that I had anticipated. I've never been a fan of making these cards but even more now.

On my card..a few details...papers and sentiment are from Kaisercraft. The swirl chipboard and butterfly is from Twiddly?? something.Sorry can't remember as I'm typing.I inked and spritzed them up. I wanted this card to be that simple and elegant type.

Hope to see you join us for now..

Take care.
