December Days Album 2014

Today I am going to share with you the start of my December Days album.  This year I have decided to document December Weekly instead of daily.  I am a bit behind.... go figure.

 This is my album cover.  I covered a 6x8 Snap binder from Simple Stories with some paper from Heidi Swapp's Believe collection.  I love this paper line, I bought a lot of it last year so I chose to use it for most of this album.  I also sprayed a Heidi wood veneer word "together" with some gold Color Shine.

Using my custom flair from TheCraftyPickle really helps to make this a special keepsake.

 

 Week 1 - My husband Bill and I spent a 4 day weekend in NYC.  We had a wonderful time, just the two of us. The city really was all dressed up for Christmas.  To document each Week, again I used some custom CraftyPickle flair.   I also used the great Arrow set   and some Holiday sequins to embellish my pages.

  Week 2 - We went to Wickerd Farms to pick a fresh Christmas Tree.  More pages to follow soon....

I really love that Taniesa will create any design just for You!

Thanks for stopping by today.  

Merry Christmas to you and yours. 

Happy Scrappin'

Crafty Christmas ornaments

Today I wanted to share with you a project I created for my Bunco Group. 

I started with some unfinished laser cut star ornaments. Next I sprayed them with my Tinsel Color Shine by Heidi Swapp.  This gave them a pretty silver metal finish. I then attached my custom flair from TheCraftyPickle and finished them off with some beautiful red ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you would like to order some custom flairs it's super easy, contact Taniesa from TheCraftyPickle and she will make you something beautiful.

Counting down the days till Chirstmas

Happy December first..... can you believe it?  I would like to kick the day off right by sharing my first Christmas project of the season.  I started making a few Christmas tags.  I will add these to some Special gifts this year.

I decided to use some of my leftover scrap goodies from last years December Daily project. I used some scrap paper to cut big tags with my Sizzix Big Shot. I Gathered some scrap ribbon and used

my extra CraftyPickle flairs from last year, these are the perfect embellishment on my tags. 

I also added some beautiful Holiday Sequins that are new in TheCraftyPickle shop  now

This was a quick and fun project to get me in the Holiday crafting mood.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope this encourages you to start your Holiday crafting. 

Till next time.

Crafty Pickle Blog Hop

                  Welcome to The Crafty Pickle blog hop!
Today our creative team will be sharing with you ideas on using Flair, Sequins, Close To My Heart stamps, and more.

 For my project I created a PL style spread to document my families trip to the pumpkin patch this year.  I created my layout using the Sweater Weather collection from Simple Stories.  My CraftyPickle flair and Autumn sequin mix worked perfectly with this paper line.

These beautiful Autumn mix sequins were just begging to be used in a shaker card.  I created this card by cutting the leaf shape out of corrugated paper with my Sizzix machine.

I also used my Thankful Heart stamp set from CTMH. I love how well this stamp set coordinates with the Sweater Weather collection.

Sharing a Thanksgiving Card today

Hi Carrie here to share with you a Thanksgiving card I made for my In-laws. 

I created this card using the Thankful Heart stamp set from CTMH.  I love that I could use my watercolors to bring the fall colors of the leaves to life in this set. The sentiment is perfect for Thanksgiving too.  

I am in love with the Sweater Weather collection by Simple Stories.
I think this great stamp set coordinates perfectly with this collection.  The fall mix sequins from TheCraftyPickle are a perfect accent to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I wish you and yours a Blessed Holiday season filled with Thankful hearts.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Today I am sharing this cute little "Insta" Chipboard album I created for Halloween.

First off, I cut down some unfinished chipboard to 4x4 and covered each page with some cute MME Halloween papers I had in my stash. 

I love this cute Spider Web Flair from The Crafty Pickle

 

Each page is embellished and has room for a small photo or journal spot.

This may be my favorite page, I created a shaker box and fished it off with another adorable TCP flair

On this page I added a 3x4 PL card I created for a Halloween Swap.

This is a really easy way to preserve the memories from your Halloween fun.

This is that back of my album.  I used Jump rings to bind my album and added fun ribbons to finish it off. 

 

Thanks for stopping by.
