Let's Stay Home - My Creative Scrapbook

Hello blogging friends,

How are you all holding up? In Minnesota the governor has ordered us to stay at home. I have been working remotely for 3 weeks now. I am lucky that my daughter is doing all my grocery shopping for me now. My son also ran some errands for me before the lockdown started to make sure I had enough cat and dog food and then some to last a couple months. I worry about my elderly parents and aunts and uncles though.

It helps to pass the time inside playing with pretty papers like the My Creative Scrapbook April kit. It is gorgeous!! Check out my kit unboxing here...

Paige Evans shared a FREE Let's Stay Home cut file on her Facebook Happy Scrappy Page and I could not resist using it for my first layout with the kit.

 Here is a closer look at the cut file...

The April kit include 11 amazing cut files as well. I used a few of the flower cluster cut files to tuck under my title. I added some fussy cut flowers, chipboard pieces and die cut ephemera.

Lindy's Gang Magicals were used to create my watercolor background. I like how they add some color underneath those cut files.

Here is my sweet guy whom I get to be isolated with. Love him!

Please check out my process video ...

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay home please and stay safe!

Christmas in July - Stash Bash

Hello blogging friends!

It's time for the July Stash Bash. This month we are focusing on using printables. Printables are a great way to stretch your supplies and they don't take up space in your supply stash. I thought I would take this opportunity to do a tutorial on how to use the Print and Cut feature in the Silhouette software to print these Santas. If I start on my Christmas cards now, there is a chance I might get them out before New Years this year, lol. The Santa driving the pink convertible is from the Carta Bella A Very Merry Christmas collection and the Santa on the right is from the PhotoPlay Paper Holiday Cheer collection.

I combined my printable Santas with the Holiday Cards 2 digital cut file from JustNick Studios. The Ho Ho Ho background is perfect.

Here is the link to my YouTube Video with the tutorial on how to use the Print and Cut feature.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great weekend!

Holiday Cards | JustNick Studios

Hello blogging friends! 

I am here today with some Holiday card ideas (in case you are like me and still making cards to mail). The Holiday Cards 2 JustNick Studio digital cut file makes cardmaking a breeze. Add a couple stickers and some twine or sequins and they are good to go. These first 2 cards were made with  PhotoPlay Paper's Mad For Plaid Christmas collection. I just adore this Santa.





Using some Kraft cardstock on this one gives it a masculine feel. It's perfect for my  brother.





Making cards is a great way to use up some of that stash you've been hoarding too. Aren't these penguins from Doodlebug the cutest! I used some self adhesive sequins from Jillibean Soup to add some bling.







Here is the cut file I used today ...



Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy your Holiday with friends and family!
