Scrap The Boys: Merry Christmas

Hey! It's December 1st and you know what that means!!! Time for a new challenge at 

Scrap The Boys!! 

I was greatly inspired by Missy Whidden's summer piece from a couple years ago.

I didn't quite pull off her bright design but it's all good anyway.

I added a light layer of white acrylic paint, instead of gesso. With a small chevron stencil, I then

colored in the pattern using metallic gelatos Ice Currant and Gold Champagne.

I followed that up with stitching! Pattern paper is by Teresa Collins: Tinsel & Company.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Studio Challenges: No Peeking

Hello and welcome! Today is a new challenge over at The Studio Challenges. The challenge is to make a layout based on this wonderful, festive table setting. Get out those Christmas papers and have fun!!!

The Studio Challenges

I was trying to be creative with taking photos of my son around our 

tree. Looks like he's got a tree bulb nearly up his nose right? My son

seems to always do this quirky movement with his eyes and mouth when I want

to take photos. Needless to say, he was still an excited 7 year old!!!

'No Peeking' is not your "normal" page title. In fact, I couldn't

find it at all in my usual places to look so I had to make my own

using SCAL3 and some fancy font.

I love stitching - the end!

Supplies:

Paper - Teresa Collins - Tinsel & Company

Stickers from various places

Sequins and Candy Cane - Hobby Lobby

Arrow punch and cork board 

Silhouette and SCAL3 - title

Red Thread and circle template

Poinsettia from somewhere
