Mojo Monday and the New "Handmade Holiday" by Simple Stories Collection. Which just screams country comfort, so I couldn't resist using one of the little snowman that I fussy cut out of one of  the journal spots/cards.

 To create this card, I used Kraft card stock 4 x 6 card base, cut the circles and scallop pieces using the Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy Collection. Pattern paper is Handmade Holiday by Simple Stories, Distress ink-vintage photo by Ranger. Embellishments: twine, seam binding, button, highlighted the snowflake stickers with Gelly Roll-Glitter Clear Star Pen.

 Another creations of a 3 in One gift paper bag, card and tag...using Authentique "Enchanted" Collection.
paper lunch bag.

 The flower is handmade out of crinoline fabric, sprayed with glimmer mist: raven and graphite also the leaves with distress stain: forest moss and adhesive was Helmar 450 glue. The doilie was sprayed with raven glimmer mist as well. See the pretty sparkle trim thats the new Tim Holtz tinsel "Autumn" and the flower center was Sparkles by KaiserCraft: color Ebony black.

Swirly Hues Challenge

Swirlydoos April 2012 Swirly Hues Challenge, that I took part in over at the blog. I just signed up to be in the Monthly Kit Club and it is so worth it, the kits are amazing and jammed packed with yummies.
I decided to play along since I received my amazing kit, here is the Inspiration/sketch I used to create my scrapbook layout.  




Here is April Kit (just look at all that goodness)



Here is what I created with all this amazing supplies:

 We had to use a tutorial from the Swirlydoos forum: I picked "Distressing", I used an edger to distress all the edges and riped into the sides to give a tattered feel, used inks, glimmer mist and stencils to add a aged look.

Supplies:
Swirlydoos Monthly Kit (April)
Distress ink-black soot
Tattered Angels glimmer mist-raven
handmade vintage photo glimmer mist
450 Helmar glue
Martha Stewart punch-scallop heart edger
Sizzix dies-vine w/leaves, corners, flourish # 2 die
TCW- template chicken wire stencils
paper doily

happy creating, Peggy Lee
