Holiday Update!

Goodness its almost the new year...
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
Mine was calm and relaxing. Jason surprised me with my square plates from Crate & Barrel and then after some budgeting took me back for some additions to the set. (salad plates and bowls) Love them!!!
Redoing my scrap area once again.. We put the desk I hadn't wanted to part with on Craig's list and it was snatched up quickly.. Allows for much needed space I was wasting. I was sad to see it go but it was time.
Starting to look at New Years Resolutions too. I am not one to do silly ones But I really think I need to make some Scrapping goals this year and Put a list here and on my bulletin board so I can stick to it. Christmas is way to close!
#1 - Each month do the Calendar page and not wait tell November to make the Calendars!!!! (and feel free to work ahead)
#2 - Start Christmas Books in June - Remember this year is "Deer" themed and you already bought the Silhouette die's - So no excuses!!!
#3 - Start Christmas Cards in June -  you already have enough stamps to start early....
#4 - Do a Christmas letter in 2011 (Skipped it in 2010) just not enough time
#5 - Complete a card class each month

That should be enough to keep me busy...

Paper Pumpkin Magic! - 3 layouts and 6 cards

  I received my paper pumpkin kit for July and wanted to create a few layouts and some of the cards. Video shows the cards and layouts - creating one 12X12 layout during the video for Nancy. You Tube Video: Cards: Daisy in Old Olive card  Flower in Melon Mambo card Poppies in Calypso Coral card Card details: Card base is from CTMH July Paper Pumpkin kit Inks - Artichoke, Rosy and Papaya Cuts: Card base from the kit cut in half then the floral front was cut to 3 3/4 X 4 3/4 the solid pattern was cut to 4 X 5 1/4 (cutting out 3 1/2 X 4 3/4 out of the center) Process: I added the corresponding ink to the card base to soften it and then I added the solid pattern and the floral pattern. I inked the edges of the floral and solid pieces from the kit then adhered them to the card base. I added strip pop tape to the frame and the flower piece then added it to the card. Finished with the included sequins. 12X12 Layout: Calypso Coral card 12X12 Layout bits: Kraft (2) 12X12, (2) 4 1/...
