Joy Layout using Simple Stories Cozy Christmas Collection!!!!

Hey there crafty neighbors!!!  I hope you are having a beautiful month! I'm popping in today to share a layout I created using lots of Creative Embellishments goodies and the December kit from Frosted Designs :-)

Here's a look at my daughters at a little place called "Christmas Town" here in Tampa:

I started my page by creating a  my background ( I didn't want to add too much as the paper already has some fabulous designs on it)!  I used the Distressed Burlap Stamp and second generation stamping for a subtle affect.

I then used the Circle Bokeh Stamp and a thin layer of gesso spread on using a palette knife to add more depth to my page!

My Punchinella Panel chipboard piece was inked with distress ink, then sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Pearls for some shimmer, then tucked under my picture :-)

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in!  Have a LUCKY day :-)

Altered Canvas with Simple Stories "Cozy Christmas" from this Month's "Traditions" Kit!!!!

Hello there gang and happy December!!!  Yes, the last month of the year has finally snuck up on us which means: new month, new kit, and a new challenge!!!

Here's a look at all the beauty that's included in the "Traditions Kit":

Oh, I just LOVE this time of the year!!!  The beautiful colors are like heaven to my eyes :-)  It also means that I get to take my "altered project making" to a whole new extreme!! Seriously, projects for days!!!

Now, here's a look at what I created:

Isn't it a fabulous addition to any holiday room decor?!?!  

Here are some close-ups:

I started by painting the canvas, using painters tape to mask off the areas in between colors.  Once it dried, I chose my favorite "card" from the papers included and adhered it to the canvas.  I cut a frame using my trimmer and some chipboard, then added my desired paper atop of it.  I also added some flowers and one of the metal embellies from the kit :-)  

I love the look of raw wood and especially for this kit!  I just sprayed a little of the Perfect Pearls Gold Shimmer mist from the kit for some shine and left it alone :-)

I finished the piece with several cut up pieces of twine to make this a complete wall hanging!!!

 Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
