Today I am sharing a layout I made of my sons , the pictures are from a couple years back . I am happily catching up on Scrapbooking , I go through phases , sometimes I am in a 3d zone , then card making , now I am in a Scrapbooking zone . I hope you enjoy and make sure to keep warm !

 Have a wonderful day !!

Winter on the way . . . . . .

Hello everyone !

Hope everyone had a great weekend .

 

 It was a sad weekend for my family and I  , my grandfather passed away on Friday . At the age of 97, we are blessed to have had him in our lives  . I just wanted to take a moment and let him know he is and always will be loved  .

 

Today we start a new challenge at BBTB2 ,

and the start of a new challenge at Craftin'Desert Divas .

Sharon has chosen the theme for BBTB2 which  is Winter is on the way . Show us any winter themed  projects using any Cricut Cartridge . I hope you take the time to check out the projects that my DT Sister's have made. Each is amazing !

 

Craftin'Desert Divas theme is Christmas ! Share your Christmas inspired projects with us !!

 

I made a frame with three little snowmen to represent each of my boys . I made it in blues and orange , so it can go on my husbands Chicago Bears themed tree .

 

I used embossing enamel on the hats and the chillin' phrase .

 

I embossed the trees with my Sparkle N Sprinkle embossing powders (I will list them below ) .

 

Thank you so much for stopping by .

Hope you have a wonderful day .

Hello everyone !!

 

Happy Thursday !

Today I am sharing this easel card I made using My Scrap Chick files ( I will list the ones I used  below ). I combined a couple different ones for the overall look I was going for . One of our favorite winter treats is hot chocolate with pieces of crushed candy canes ,topped with whip cream and peppermint marshmallows ! We love , love this !! That is what inspired my card . I'm not sure if you can see in the photos ,but I clear embossed the cup and the candy cane to give it the shiny look .

 

Hope you enjoy and make sure to treat yourself to your favorite winter treats .

Have a wonderful day !
