Sam's Scrapbook Process : Christening

Hi all

Thought I would try and catch up on my baby niece Ava's album this weekend but only managed to get one page done.

I started watching a TV show called Bedlam which is a British Supernatural drama which has got me hooked after just watching a few episodes. Was also baby sitting alot this weekend which has left me needing more time off work lol. 4 days holiday was not enough!
Back to work tomorrow - boohoo!

This is the page I did.

Used paper from:
The girls' paperie by Margie - English Garden
s.e.i Winnie's Walls - Winnie Blooms - B side.
s.e.i Winnie's Walls - Colourfull cluster - B side.
s.e.i Penelope's Potpourri - Glamorous Garland - B side.
Basic Grey - Blush - not sure of sheet name.

The christening embelishments were from K&Comany -Child Christening Dimensional Stickers.
The flowers were mixture of Recollection pink Roses, Treasures by Shabby Chic paper pink roses and some rose buds and leaves I got from a local craft store. I also used a paper heart doiley I got from ebay. I randomly dotted a few crystal flat back gems too.

I even raked my old cricut out of the back of the cupboard - I don't use it very much as never had much joy with it as it never seem to cut right for me. I cut the word "christening" and used the negative and backed it on pink card. The individual letters just didnt stand out enough on the English garden paper as it is so busy with pinks and greens.

I am thinking of getting a Shiloutte cutter anyone who has one I'd love your opionion on them.

Christmas Cards

I have left it very late this year for making Christmas cards!!!

I only started about a week or two ago.

Thought if share a few of them that i have made. All inspired by Kristina Werner I totally love her work she is mega tallented.

I used some of equipment I got from my Haul while I was in Florida about 2 weeks ago doesnt feel like I've had a holiday now Im back at work :-(

This was my first Circle card I used my cricut. For some reason it has never really liked it and I stopped using it but I needed a perfect circle so i got it and and hey presto it cut without any arguments. I also used my cricut for the "HOHOHO" this was just from george and basics cartridge.

This adorable Santa was out a little embelishment pack I got from walmart for $1.50 I really wish I'd picked more than one packet up, hadnt realised how cute he was till i made this card!!

Used plain no name red card stock, not sure about the backing paper it is something i printed off last year and I found it in my box of scraps. I used my Friskars tredding water boarder punch on the gold cardstock.

My Second card I used a template of the top note die as I dont actually have the die for my cuttlebug.

I used plain no name red and white card stock and brown ribbed texture card stock from The Papermill Shop, the red glitter polkadot paper from My Minds Eye Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue.

I stamped Rudolf and the sentiment in black stazon and used my water markers to colour Rudolf I have never been very good at getting the shading right but I think I did an ok job on him. (Used Seasonal Baeuty clear stamps from HamptonArt stamp set)

As Kristina Werner always finishes with white faux stitch I thought I would too. Also had to use a scrap of red ribbon to tie the pattern paper with the white as it looked to sharp and unfishished. Used a selection of odd buttons to fill in the white open space.

I made 2 other versions of this card as below:

Anyway I have to go do the house work :-(

I think you all know what I would rather be doing.
