Moxxie {Let It Snow}

Good morning! I have a "perfect for winter" layout to share with you. I used Moxxie's AWESOME Winterland line. I really love the colors, they are gorgeous in this winter line (and I'm someone who normally doesn't like purple so that means a lot!). :)

Lately, I've been cutting down my designer paper by a quarter inch on the top and side and layering it over some cardstock. I really like the look it gives it. I did a bit of distressing around the edges of the designer paper. I then did some layering with some of the scraps I had behind the picture. I also fussy cut some of the snowflakes. I also traced out a few with some clear glittery Stickles, because snowflakes should just sparkle. Here's some close ups of the some of the details. It's hard to see it in the picture but the Stickles look amazing on the snowflakes! :

I also sprinkled some punched out snowflakes and sequins.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Favorite Things Friday {Scissors}

TGIF! What fun weekend plans do all of you have? It's time for Favorite Things Friday over at Scrap It Girl! Today we are doing scissors. The hard part for me was deciding on ONE set! But I reach for these beauties 9 out of 10 times. They are nice and sharp and great for getting in doing some fussy cutting around smaller images. 

Here's a tag I created but doing some fussy cutting  on it with those snazzy scissors. ;)

I stamped this cute dragon fly from my Stampin' Up! stamp set Bugs & Kisses twice. I then cut both of them out, keeping one intact but cut the second one apart so I just had the wings. I added some stickles to the second set of wings and then attached them with some 3D-Dots. Here's a close up of the wings.

I punched out the bottom of the blue tag with a Martha Stewart punch and then layered it onto a slightly larger white tag I had created and just cut around the punched area along the bottom. Then I tied some ribbon to the top of the tag to finish it off. So pretty don't you think?

Make sure to head over to Scrap It Girl and see what the design team members like to use and while you're there share with us your favorite pair of scissors! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend! :)

Favorite Things Friday {Embossing Folder}

Happy Friday! So excited for the weekend. 

With it being Friday it's time for Scrap It Girls Favorite Things Friday and today we are covering embossing folder(s). My favorite one in my stash is by Paper Studio- Tiny Polka. I have a few other embossing folders but this one is my go to one. 

I wanted to showcase this embossing folder with a cute little project that was quick & easy to make.

I used a small, clear container that a bottle of Heidi Swapp Color Shine came in. I cut off the little tab that they use at the store to hang it on and filled it with Mini Chewy Sweetarts. I loved them because of the size & color. I used some Doodlebug cardstock-Bubblegum for the main wrap and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Tiny Polka embossing folder. Aren't those cute little polka dots just adorable on the cardstock!? I did a thinner band from Doodlebug cardstock-Stone Gray.

I also embossed the 1 3/4" scalloped circle that I punched out with my Stampin' Up! punch. I used the Stampin' Up! Sweet on You stamp set, stamped Sweet on Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla cardstock & punched out the image to layer on the scalloped circle. I punched out a little heart and attached it with a 3D dot. I then cut out "tart" on my Silhouette Cameo. Here's a close up of it....

What do you think? Cute? I sure loved it and hope the Sweet"tart" that receives this will love it as much I do! Do you have a favorite embossing folder or two? Come joins us over at Scrap It Girl and check out all the other designers favorites! Who knows, maybe you'll find a new one you'll just have to get! ;) Thanks for stopping by and joining me!
