April and May Pubs! For Real!!

Hello blogging friends! Wahooo its Friday! I thought it would never come. My kids are going camping without me, so I am planning a relaxing weekend of cleaning and scrapping. Maybe I can talk hubby into going to a movie :)

I realized I had not yet shared my April pub so here it is ...

I first made this Christmas ornament when guest designing for Little Yellow Bicycle for their Once Upon a Christmas collection. Cricut Magazine published it for a Butterfly and Birds call. The body of this bird is an ornament shape turned sideways. I cut sixteen of them, scored them down the middle and adhered them together to make it 3-dimensional. The feather trim is my favorite part :)

This Imaginisce layout using the Childhood Memories collection appeared in the May Scrapbook Trends Magazine. I love these pics of my daughter. Boy, did she love to swing. Do you think?

This anniversary card I made for my hubby (our 30th anniversary!) appeared in the May Cards Magazine. I used the Quick Quotes Dusty Rose collection and Cheery Lynn dies. That gorgeous ribbon is from an Etsy shop call Prairie Bird Boutique and the bling is from Want2Scrap.

I kind-of stole this card back from my hubby after I gave it to him, Shhhh.

Hope you have a greate weekend!

Authentique Traditions - ScrapTownLady

Happy Friday blogging friends. I had the greatest assortment of costumed kids stop by my house last night. I loved it :) I even saw my special girl Callie dressed up as Bat Girl. Denise, I wish you were here to see what an awesome little girl you have.

With Halloween over, I feel no guilt in jumping straight into Christmas paper crafting mode. This past week I worked with the Tradition collection from Authentique. This is such a wonderful collection with lots of traditional and yet trendy papers. Aren't these chevrons great! Every year I make ornaments for some of my co-workers. They work great to add some pizazz to a package or a gift bag. This one is 3 dimensional and cut from a Silhouette file.

I also wanted to show you how simple making your own Christmas cards can be.

This is literally just a journal tag cut from a sheet of pattern paper. I glammed it up with some beautiful Want2Scrap pearls and gorgeous Snug Hub Seam Binding. Then I added some faux stitching around the edges. Easy Peasy.
