Mr. & Mrs.

I recently had a request to make a wedding card for a "country" couple. Perfect theme to use my beloved bears!!

I wanted to keep it simple (no frilly dress) but still stick to the wedding theme. I searched . . . and searched. . .

I finally settled on Scapping Bug Designs "Ho Ho Ho Bears". I KNOW! Christmas bears?? Well, she is wearing a big bow. I copied it and made a second bow smaller for the male bear. I deleted the "ho ho ho" words and cut out hearts instead. Voila!! 

The tag and stamp are from My Craft Spot 'Tiny Tags' selection.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Supplies:
Bo Bunny Pincushion PP and stickers
Hearts = scraps!
My Craft Spot tag and stamps
Clear Stickles and Embossing folder (bow)
Pearls
White Ribbon
Scrapping Bug Designs (bear file)

Christmas Card #6

Hey Peeps!!

This snow globe box card is my husband's personal favorite. Other than my silhouette was rather busy with the intricate cut outs for this one, it was actually simple to put together. The file also provides duplicates to help reinforce the delicate nature of this card.

I just had to provide the stamp for the label on the front. 

Again, the file is from SVGCUTS. 

Although I didn't take a close up photo, there is
actually Frosted Lace Stickles on a
couple of the snowflakes.

Supplies:
AC Cardstock: Coffee
AC Cardstock: White
AC Cardstock: Weave (what you see behind patterned paper)
Patterned Paper - so sorry - don't remember :(
Stamp - bought it from Joann's
Blue pearls
Blingy brads
Frosted Lace Stickles

We have a new exchange student this year from Spain!! This layout shows Alvaro on his first day of school here in the U.S.

There are many personal touches to this layout that actually have meaning. Scroll on down to find out what they are!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Won't you join us for this week's die cut challenge?

The background paper from EP Recollections is perfect. It shows an old
map of Europe with Spain right in the center. The "10th Grade" badge is
from the Silhouette store.

Alvaro loves to play chess. The die cuts are from
the Silhouette store. The patterned green die cut is a smaller version
of Spain. The "event record" is a stamped die cut that my sister
sent me. 

A mixture of Washi tape and EP stickers.

I picked up the globe brads from Michael's. It's perfect for when I'm making
layouts about my exchange students. The apple is not only for school, but
showing Alvaro's love for apples. 

Supplies:
EP: Recollections
BB: Weekend Market

Christmas Card #5

The poinsettia box card!! I must admit, this one is not really my favorite. I guess I really can't make poinsettias look awesome. I do really like the idea in general and how busy the box looks. Nevertheless, not my favorite but I'm sure someone will like it.

Cutting file is from SVGCUTS.
