Scrappy Bears!

Christmas in June!!

It must be this rotten weather we are getting lol.

But it happened totally accidentally.

I was hoking through my papers and pulled some

scraps out with the sheets I thought I was after.

They were Christmas ones so I just went with it.

I looked through some challenges and found

the Snippets Playground and Girlz creative Christmas

so went with my scraps and Beary Cute stamp set (SU).

Here are the scraps I used

I used the navy off cut and put the snowflake

paper underneath to show through the punched areas.

It was a bit bare so I ran it through my sewing machine.

The bears were stamped, cut and coloured.

The sentiment was stamped onto my oval

using starry sky ink (SU) and the

bears placed underneath.

I did ink some snowy mountains behind the bears

but they did not show up in my photo!

I finished it off with some snowflakes and gems.

Number one Christmas card done!!

Mini Album Box Tutorial

My tutorial this week is really just a peep into my scrapbooking world.

I try to make our Grandsons a handmade gift every year,

usually in some form of memory keeping.

This year I decided to make one of my double mini albums.

They come in this little box with a divide in the centre,

giving space for a book for each child.

The books hold about ten photos and you can add pockets

or extra pages if you want to bump it out.

I will fill it with special memories they make during December.

You can watch part 1 of my video here

More little words!

It's the second week of my challenge theme

WORDS/SENTIMENTS

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

I again used a piece of the Beary Christmas paper

for my background. I did stamp some snowflakes

and add some little pop dots to enhance it a little.

One tree got a star!

The sentiment was stamped using Beary Cute and cut then layered onto

night of navy card and I finished with another cut paper tassel.

Quick and easy!!

Quadrilateral Cards!

My shop tutorial today shows how to make these

Quadrilateral cards!

I think they are called that because they have four sides and four angles,

plus you make four and you cut four of everything!

I even behaved myself and finished all four off inside!
