Merry Christmas Eve!

 

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve.

We are having Christmas at my house this year and I'm really excited about it.

 

Yesterday I cleaned.

Today I'm going to be setting up the tables.

 Right now Ralph's making me breakfast. :)

 Kids are barely getting up.. well the teenage boy isn't.

 



Today I'm off and I will have to get up and be at work in the morning at 5am. I hope this will be the last year I have to work on Christmas. That's what I want for Christmas!

Good things are happening in 2015! I can feel it.

Here's an ornament I made using the Julie Nutting wooden ornaments. I painted it with acrylic paints and embossed in gold and used crackle accents a the new Prima Finnabair glitter. I really LOVE the way it came out. The photos really doesn't do it justice.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

A Simple Lili of the Valley Christmas Card!

Hello crafty peeps!

Today I have another simple Christmas card to share. I'm using this adorable Christmas Set

by Lili of the Valley. I think that many people overlook these acrylic stamps that LOTV have because the rubber ones are so stinking cute! But-- you are missing out on some great images in the other stamp categories. Great for the crafter who doesn't color and awesome for the mixed media artists out there! I used my inks from Fun Stamper Journey!

 

Enjoy my video below!

More Simple Christmas Cards!

Hi everyone!

I have another clean and simple card to share with you. I'm whipping these babies out.. I might actually send out Christmas Cards this year! I have used my Fun Stampers Journey star stamp that came in my starter kit. It's called Banner Party Stamp Set and has some fabulous matching dies to go with it! I didn't get a chance to order Christmas stamps so I'm showing simple and versatility. This can really be a card for ANY occasion. I hope you enjoy my little video. :) It's just under 2 minutes!

Create your own December Daily!

 Hi there everyone. It's time for my post on the Limor Webber Blog!

 

I decided to make my own December Daily. I love the way it came out. I just plan on typing out my daily dos and layering them on the page. Simple but it will get done this year!  Here's some photos and there's a video below. Check it out!

 

 

 

 

 

I also took the little mini files that come with the card boxes from Michaels and added them as pages, just for another type of element to the pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the video I hope you enjoy it.

Have a fantastic day!

Merry Christmas 'Summer'!

Hi there my crafty peeps. Today I have a card to share using the 'Summer' Stamp and ironically I made a Christmas Card using her. That's just how versatile these gorgeous stamps are!

While at Michaels last week I found these berries and poinsettias and they are a little big but I knew they would be PERFECT with this image! I LOVE the way this card came out. The Sentiment is by Lili of the Valley, 'Christmas Wishes'.

 

If you haven't gotten this gorgeous image yet we have a list of stores you can buy from HERE.

We will actually be making these at my Class over at This n That Scrapbooking in Chino Hills on December 3rd. You can find more information on the class over on the This n that Website.

Hey there friends!

 

I have been edit, edit, editing these past 2 days! Video tutorials and photos for blog posts. Hopefully I'll be caught up soon. While watching one of my videos I have discovered how ugly my hands are! I never really liked them, but as I'm getting older EW-- my hands are GROSS! So, for that I apologize!

I know that probably sounds really funny... and random. LOL! 

 

Anyways...

Here's a canvas we are doing at my class next week over at Jollene's Paperie. If you are in the Southern California area and interested in signing up.. you still have time.

You can find the details HERE!

A Lili of the Valley Christmas Gift Set.

Hi there crafty peeps!

 

Here's on of 2 of the project gift sets we will be creating at my class at Custom Impressions this Friday! Isn't it super cute!

 

 This image from Lili of the Valley and is called Shine a Light. I love the rich BG color of this Copic Combo. I used BG72, BG75, BG78 and N7. GORGEOUS! The card is simple, The base is actually an envelope, perfect for a gift card or money for a friend, co-worker teacher etc. I have also made a matching Candle. I really wanted to focus on the pleats in her coat and again show everyone how adding a little 'N7' really makes a huge difference in depth when coloring. My students know it as my 'make it pop'. :o)

 

If you are interested in this class please Contact Custom Impressions.
 

 

Have a wonderful day.

 

 



Mixed Media Card Class at This n That!

Hi everyone!

I have gotten a tiny bit behind on posting and well everything since my trip to Puerto Rico.
I hope after this weekend I'll be caught up. Since coming back I have had only 2 days (in 2 weeks) and trying to prepare for 3 local classes, it was my sons Birthday and we had a surprise party oh yeah and Halloween! So it's been a little hectic. I will bounce back. Promise!

Here's a card using a Julie Nutting Stamp that I made for my Class at This n That. That class is THIS Wednesday and it's just about full! So it will be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see my regular girlies and some new faces, too! This class we going to be coloring using Copics and also creating this gorgeous Mixed Media background. The photo really doesn't do it justice!

I'll be posting some photos from my trip soon, too.

Lili of the Valley Christmas Card -- PINK of course!

 

I'm so ready for cooler weather!

Where I live it doesn't get this cold.. but if I take a drive about an hour away I can sure find me some snow. Usually, it's about 70 here in the Winter.. on average. :) Lucky me.

 

Here's my one of many PINK Christmas cards I normally make every year. I love pink a Christmas!

I have used Lili of the Valley's 'Skating Friends'. LOVE them!

 I also used Lili of the Valley's new Christmas Wishes Sentiment Set. This gorgeous paper is also by Lili of the Valley and it's called 'On a High Note'.. pretty good.. it's not even Christmas paper!

 

We have a Monthly Challenge going on and it's for you to use our Pretty Papers!

How fun, right! LOTV is always so generous with prizes so you have to play along for a chance to win!

 

Today's my Monday BOO! I'll be at work Friday - Monday! Hope it's better than last weekend!

Have a creative weekend my crafty peeps!

More Lili of the Valley.. more youtube videos!!!!

Hey there all you crafty peeps!

 

Today I have a  mixed media card to share. I have used papers from Lili of the Valley. They are called 'Festive Trimmings'! I just love the colors. The image is from the newly released stamps, this one is 'Cold Hands, Warm Hearts' It's such a sweet image I'm a sucker for the snow peeps!

 

I have 2 new YouTube Videos up.. Woo Hoo! Go me!!!

 

The new Copic video is of me coloring the image in this card. I wanted to show everyone how I get that little bit of extra depth when coloring. Believe it or not.. all I do is add 1 extra color..  in this video, 'N5'. It makes a HUGE difference when coloring!

 

 

The other Video is also of this card and how I put it together and gave a little 'mixed media' feel to it.

I hope you enjoy the videos. Have a wonderful day!
