Winter Snowflake Tag

Hi Everyone

Michelle here today from Lady of Leisure Ink with my last post for December for A Scrap N Place.  I know that Christmas is behind us, but I for one am not ready to put away my Christmassy crafting supplies - and I so I am not going to.  I decided to use the Impression Obsession Snowflake die to make this little tag.

Snowflakes aren't just for Christmas, and this little tag would look so cute on a gift for any occasion during the winter season.  So I challenge you to keep those 'Christmas' supplies out a while longer and see what you can come up with for the winter season.

Supplies used (all available at A Scrap N Place):

• Impression Obsession Snowflake Die 024-X
• Kraft Paper
• 'Pearl'
• Ribbon
• Lace

Pine Cone Card

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink, and I am excited to show you my card using the Pine Cone Die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I knew as soon as I picked this die up that I was going to love it, I just think that the pine cones look so detailed.

Here is a list of supplies I used:

• Authentique paper "Scatter Joy"
• Mesh Ribbon
• Pine Cone Die - Elizabeth Craft Designs 766  (to get the two-tone effect I rubbed Versamark ink over one of the pine cone layers.)  
• Leaves - Cheery Lynn Designs Wreath Strip Die
• 'Snow' Stickles
• Sentiment Anna Griffin (very old Christmas set)

      Thanks Terri for having me again as guest designer, and thanks everyone for stopping by today.  Until next time.

Merry Reindeer card

Happy Tuesday.  I have another Christmas themed card for you today.  As my other one's I like to keep these simple so when you mail them they don't add much bulk.  The tree designer paper was perfect as a background for the reindeer (Memory Box die).  I matted all the papers, cut the reindeer out of the same color of one the card stocks, die cut the merry sentiment (Memory Box Die) and added a bow and some bling

CARD & COFFEE tomorrow!

THIS IS THE CARD for tomorrow's class. Monday December 2nd. If you're interested just call or e-mail to save a spot so we have a kit ready for ya! CLASSES are at 10:00 a.m  2:00 p.m.  &  7:00 p.m.

Happy Sunday!

 I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend and didn't gain too many pounds. I am still at my daughters, I left home and brought the cold weather with me it has been colder than normal here and when I return home it is supposed to snow.

 I made this quick and easy card and didn't use any stamps at all. I used the corner from Authentique's Glistening paper and the sentiment is from the cardstock stickers, and of course some bling! you an find all my supplies and many more at A Scrap n Place.
