2012 Imaginisce DT Good-bye Blog Hop

Hello to everyone! They say the time flies when you're having fun, might really be true! It just feels like the whole year with Imaginisce flew by so quickly.  I am really grateful for the experience of creating with such awesome talents, and innovative products to design for. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was so much fun that I'm not ready to let go of it just yet :) I wanted to mention also a special thank you to Cari Locken for being an AWESOME DT Coordinator ! I am happy to be a part of the 2013 design team for a second term.  It will be another awesome year. God willing!

Happy Holidays....

Good Friday morning!! It's crunch time,  but ready or not here it comes! My plan this week does not include shopping - I'm done!  thank God! I will relax and finish all my scrappy projects for CHA.

Such chores :) someone twist my arms!! It is true that Holiday comes with stress, the busy-ness of the season, the planning, shopping etc....I tried to lower my expectations and it really helps.

Just remember the reason for the season! :)

 

Anyhow, here is a quick and easy card for you!! I love this stamp. Check me out over at

Merry Christmas Card **Hampton Art**

Good Monday morning everyone!!! Nine more days till Christmas....SO are you ready yet??!!??

For some people wink wink 9 days still, there is time :) 

Today I will share this card I created for my Hampton Art team.

First, stamp and emboss the image/snowflake wreath onto a cardstock. Then cut out by following the edge of the stamp image, this is easier than cutting a straight round shape. Attached using pop-dots for dimension. Then stamp the greeting directly onto the paper.

Supplies Used:

Merry Christmas Stamp – Hampton Art/Hot Fudge Studio PS0716

Snowflake Wreath Stamp – Hampton Art/Kolette Hall – PS0460A

Color Box Mix Media  Inx – School House

Hampton Art Embossing Powder

Other Supplies:

Pink Paislee Paper & My Minds Eye

Christmas Memories Paper Bag Album...

Happy Monday everyone!!
Today I will share this album I created for my Quick Quotes Team using the   Club Q December Kit.  This is such a fun kit, everything you need is ready for you to use, and of course you can put your own twist/style to it. There are six pages on my album, I folded 2 patterned papers for the inside page, the paper bag for cover and bind it all together by using a twine.

I painted the tree gold and added a little glitters.  I picked some of my favorite photos and with QQ, there is always quotes perfect for each photos.

Thanks for peeking into my simple life!!!
