Happy Halloween!!

Hello, Again!

I figured that today was a great day to re-start my blog!

Thank you for being patient with me and not giving up!

I had so much fun creating this 8 1/2  x 11 

HALLOWEEN LAYOUT

that I knew it was time to share and get this blog back on schedule...

Welcome to my blog of simple and fast creativity... I like to think that I create for everyone!! On this blog you will find creations, tips and techniques to help you with your own projects... scrapbook pages, cards and sometimes, 3D projects! I hope that I can inspire you!

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Today's creation was definitely spurred on by the day and wonderful products at my finger tips! And, of course, the coolest headband that a person could find for Halloween. 

A reminder for me of the greatest Halloween movie!

 The base paper is Wisteria (X6032)

The layer is a piece of paper from the mix-in pack from the Fall Catalogue 

The stamp set is an amazing stamp set designed by Aimee Ferre simply titled 

Halloween by Aimee Ferre (D1893).

*this stamp is also stunning when colored, but today I chose not to.

The paper is edged with a black shimmer brush (Z4224).

The words [Spooky] [Boo] are made super sparkly with our Wisteria Shimmer Brush (Z3511).

Love it!

The picture is wrapped with mink twine (Z4221).

The stamped images and picture are all layered onto black glitter paper (Z3236).

*when adhering an item to any of our glitter paper, I use glue dots as this holds better. 

I also used adhesive and 3D foam tape, crinkled the pattern paper and sanded it, and used my favorite black ink which is the Intense Black Ink (Z4189).

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful Thursday and a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

2019!!

Welcome to a New Year!

With a new year, comes an amazing amount of new product and fresh ideas!

I am so excited that Close To My Heart is a company on top of all of this!! Even after 35 years in the business!!

I can't wait to share everything with you!!

If you know me by now, you know I love simple. 

Beautiful, elegant, classy and simple.

I don't always memory keep in chronological order.

I like to scrapbook my favorite pictures first.

If I find an 'old' picture and fall in love with it, I get that one into

my scrapbook as soon as possible.

I guess if there was rules to the memory keeping world, I'd be breaking them all.

These are some of the reasons that I continue to fall in love with the

Story by Stacy

line that Close To My Heart and Stacy Julian continue to grow with their partnership!  Yayyyy for all of us!! 

I am so excited to be working on dates to offer this amazing workshop for you!!  Stories I Love is going to be such an fabulous workshop to share!!  As well as so many others because, as I said, with an amazing amount of new product, comes some wonderful ideas to be shared!!

Here's to a Wonderful 2019!!
