Quick Xmas Cards

Today I have two quick cards that are Easy to Make and to Mail
They fit on a regular envelope and require only one postage stamp.

The MM Twinkle collection has this package of 74 die-cuts that are glittery and gorgeous.
MM Twinkle is on sale right now over at the Happy N Scrappin'

 I just embossed a piece of 4.5" x 10" (embossed only 4.5" x 5" or the front) white and red cardstock-- any embossing folder you have will do and added embellishments from the MM Twinkle collection (on sale).

White - Stamped using the pens on my stamp before stamping, run through embossing machine, added the embellishments, pearls and twine. The pearls were from my collection, but you can find several brands at the STORE, just click on below link/picture. (the word peace was cut with a PTI die)

Red - Run through embossing machine, inked with dabber, added embellishments and piece of ribbon.

"Noche De Paz" LO for Creative Cutter Room

 Welcome to our first ever sketch challenge over at the CCR!

I am so happy to be participating in today's challenge!
This is my take on the sketch:

Isn't this a Great sketch! Courtesy of Let's scrap!

 I used the Cricut Twinkle Toes cartridge for the piano and musical notes.
I cut (layer) the music sheet out of off white cardstock and stamped the music notes with a stamp by Hampton Art/Cosmo Cricket and Tim Holtz distress ink in walnut stain.  The piano keys were drawn by DH.

 All PP is by Making Memories Twinkle Collection that you can find over at Happy N Scrappin'

I used vellum to type my journal entry. Font: LD Christmas Carol from my computer.  All trims and snow flake brads are by MM Twinkle Collection. (the red trim is from last year's collection)

A Two Page LO using Doodlebug ColorWheel Essentials

Good Tuesday Morning

Today I have a Two Page Layout using the colorful

Doodlebug Colorwheel Essentials Kit 

That you can find over at Happy N Scrappin'

This is my Jasmine when she turned 6th --

When I first received this collection I did not know what I would come up with, I just knew it had to be colorful.... and then it hit me!  I remembered these pictures and Jasmine's colorful skirt!  I think it matches oh so perfect!

Here you can see that I created the journal entry lines with my sewing machine.

Above you can see that I used several of the embellishments included on the kit (flowers, butterfly) and the included rub-on alphabet in addition to more stitching.

More stitching and more of the embellishments included on your kit .

Just wanted to show how most of the embellishments have lots of glitter!

This is the kit that you can find over at the HappyNScrappin'.
