Leftovers!

I love leftovers! (No...I'm not talking about meals...although I DO love leftovers...it means I don't have to worry about dinner that night!) I am talking about scraps of papers and goodies after you complete a layout or large project!! If you look back at my last post (the 26th), you'll see the layout I created using BoBunny's Snowy Serenade line.

After I finished the layout, and while I still had a big mess, I decided to whip up a cute little gift bag using my scraps and stuff that were still out!! Such a time saver!!

So, next time you create a project, before you clean up (I know...we all clean up RIGHT AWAY, don't we?) take the leftovers and create a card or a mini project! (Then you can clean up!)

Snow Tubing!

Hi! I thought I would share a layout I put together using BoBunny's Snowy Serenade collection. I love the color combinations in this line! It really makes it so easy to create a quick and easy layout! I just pulled a few colors from the striped paper to use as my color palette; light blue, dark red and lavender. So pretty and I love how the red just pops!

A couple fun tips:

Use a snowflake sticker in place of the 'o' in your title!! I popped it up between the 'n' and 'w' using foam dots! Then add a gem for sparkle! I think it really brings the title to life, don't you!?

I know you all have chalks laying around, right? I used to use chalks all the time to highlight certain words in my journaling...so I pulled out my chalks and started using them again! I chose red chalk to highlight the main words in my journaling...which are 'Brendan & Daddy - snow tubing'!!

Create fun dimensional centers for you snowflake stickers by layering gems and buttons!

Oh, and don't forget to pull out that date stamp you have laying around! Always a quick and easy way to add the date!!
