Hi Everyone,

This layout is my entry into the challenge "Mango Breeze" that is being sponsored by Kraft Plus and you can find the details here.  The requirements for their challenge was that the layout should be on a base of Kraft cardstock and that you should incorporate some or all of the colors from their mood board.  Here is my entry:

Christmas Tree ornament Christmas Card, Gift Card Holders, Gift Card Purse 2013

This year I decided to make a Tree Ornament as my Christmas Card.  The list of products were light grey cardstock, a manilla shipping tag from the Office Supply store, Tim Holtz Toy Soldier Bigz die, Stampers

Anonymous Christmas Blue Print CMS135 stamp set by Tim Holtz, silver embossing powder, versamark ink pad, Black soot distress ink, broken china distress ink, silver ribbon, and silver foil tape.

These three photos are of gift card holders that I made for my stepson and his partner and my daughter in law.  I used paper from My Minds Eye Signature Xmas Holiday Glitter paper pad, some 3D Christmas stickers I had in my stash.

This was also a gift card holder that I made for my husband to give to a lady that he works with for their Secret Santa Exchange.  I made a chunky charm to hang from the handle.  This was also paper from My Minds Eye.  The purse was made from a template I have had for years but not sure where it came from.

Happy Birthday Card For Mom

This is a Birthday card that I made for my mother for her birthday in December.  I was inspired by the beautiful card that Aly Dosdal Designed here:  http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/scrapbook_cards_today_blo/2012/09/chevron-tutorial-with-aly-dosdalland-one-more.html 

She also includes a pdf file for the paper bow that you can download.

The card base is approximately 5 1/4 by 7 7/8".  The papers that I used were from DCWV "The Linen Closet Stack".  I also used My Minds Eye Hazel "Special" Dotty Damask Paper because the paper from the Linen Closet Stack is not double sided and I needed a doubled sided paper for the Chevron Design.  I also used a scrap of beige ribbon on the card.

The label is from Die-namics called Polka Dot Greetings - it includes the label die and three different stamps that stamp a pattern on the die cut and 3 different greetings.  I love their die/stamp sets.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Happy creating!

This is a scrapbook layout of my son at his graduation from college.  I used My minds Eye Hazel "Fancy" lots of dots paper (using the design by Ali Dosdall that I saw at the following link for the chevron design:  http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/scrapbook_cards_today_blo/2012/09/chevron-tutorial-with-aly-dosdalland-one-more.html
She made the most beautiful card with the chevron design and she shares how she made it.  I used  Crate Paper Random Collection "Modern", "Graphic" and "Denim" papers.  I used Tim Holtz rosette die cut for the rosettes.  I used sizzix die for the book, and "Graphically Speaking" Cricut cartridge for the rolodex card that I used as a photo "Frame".  You can see a video on my youtube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/user/horsewhisprr
