Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look at my creations...I love making memories that I can share with my family and friends....and especially my daughters. They are my inspirations for creating a lot of these layouts. I love taking everyday ordinary things and making them into beautiful altered art. My downfall is buying beautiful papers and not wanting to use them because they are too gorgeous. LOL. Please take the time to check out my crafts, follow my blog and maybe even scraplift them and make sure you let others know where you got the idea...Love to have new followers of my blog.

Hi to all that come to visit...and to my followers....I saw this site had a challenge and I have been having fun with the challenges so I thought what the heck...the challenge is to make something christmas but include glitter or shiny and ribbon...so I had fun with this one...Here is the website or you can click on my title Penny's paper-crafting challenge and it will take you to the site....http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/

I used design studio to create this....and lay it out...

Christmas/ Noel for the santa cut @ 2 3/8" which I cut about 4 times ....layered, and doodled his face, clothes and hat...

I also did the reindeer in a shiny brown color...(can't really see to well) and the sleigh in a red shiny, glittery paper...

I used JOTS for the house cut @ 2 3/8" also layered in glittery paper and added snow and glitter glue with embossing powder to the top of house and the snow on the bottom...

I used JOTS for the star cut @ 1 1/8" and glitter glued and added gold embossing powder and jewel..

JOTS for the snowman cut @ 1 3/8" all done in paper...the cricut actually did not tear any of the paper...I doodled the eyes and buttons...the rest is in paper..

I cuttlebugged background with swissdots and added ribbon...made 5 bows and added them also...3 layers of cardstock. I think that is all!

Hi Everyone on this Terrific Tuesday! I have been having fun with these challenges so I am doing one more...probably won't be my last...but on the BBTB challenge ....http://regina-bittenbythebug.blogspot.com/....we were told to use the penguin from jots...Here is my take on the challenge...


I used the Tri-Fold card on JOTS cut @ 4 1/2" (used the fit to page)

I also used JOTS for the penguin cut @ 2" added some pearl stickers for the eyes..

I used Winter Woodlands for the cap cut @ 1 1/2" and pop dotted it....to make it 3d

I also used WW for the BRRR cut @ 1"...I used my snowwriter and added some silver embossing powder and then used my heat gun to heat it....it looks sparkly but can't tell on this pic....I also added some pearl stickers to the frame it is also on JOTS under the tri-fold card (in back of book)...

I also cuttlebugged the pink background with snowflake folder...and Last but not least I handcut the snow and then also used my snowwriter and silver embossing powder...Love how this turned out...Thanks for the inspiration BBTB.
