Christmas in July **Imaginisce**

Hello everyone!! I love Christmas, it's my favorite holiday of the year. Today I get to celebrate it a few months early and I am sharing some projects using the beautiful brand new Imaginisce -"Christmas Cheer" collection with you!!  just gorgeous! I love it.

Check out this paper cone ornaments. So much fun and easy to make! I think they're cute!

Trace shape onto the paper, cut out the shape, with bone folder, score paper on fold lines, fold into shape then close along one side using hot glue gun. Decorate with trim and cut out images from the paper.

Also created this sweet, yummy layout! :) What's a Holiday without these, right!!!

Some are home made and who can resist the beautiful deorated bought store cookies! :)

They're as delicious as well and little easier!

I thought the paper's traditional Christmas colors were so fitting for this layout ... 

and so festive.

Praying for you *Send it Clear Card"!!

Hello everyone!!! Here's another card to I made using the

Clear Scraps "Send it Clear" card!

   With this project I used Stampendous Pearlized Mica Fragments. As you can see the Angel has been pearlized :) Note: To protect the rest of the acrylic, I only took out the protective plastic cover on the angel first then lightly smeared Beacon 3 in 1 Glue on the angel and applied the Micah - fragments over it. Cut out the excess Micah fragments on the edge for a smoother finish.

Here is the inside, finishing it with pink paislee paper, 7Gypsies transparency and Sentimental Singles Stamp.

Everyday Inspiration for Imaginisce

Hello everyone!!! Another post today and this one is for my Imaginisce Team!!!

This week we are to create from something that inspires us. My inspiration was this tapestry that hangs on my bedroom wall. Love the texture and the color of it!

What I created is an oversize card for one of my nieces birthday. Perfect way to use my Imaginisce paper scraps. It's an 8X8 wall hanging card. I ripped pieces of paper to create the background. Then I embellished it with punch out butterflies and the birthday message die cuts.

Supplies: Imaginisce Papers; Sole Sisters; Personality, I pick you, Sole Mates, Girl Stuff; Fabric Roly Rosies Denim and Hello Cupcake Wish Come True Die Cuts.

Other supplies; Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Hello everyone and happy 4th of July!!! Here's a layout a made for my Imaginisce team in celebration of Independence day! The picture was taken 2 years ago at our cul de sac.  We just watch it on TV now,  first of all it's cheaper lol, and of course safer. My grandson can have a little sparkler still though. 

This is one of my favorite photos, I wanted to create a background that will mimic the contrast on the photo and I think it works.
