{ My Scrapbook Nook December ~ Making Memories Mistletoe ~ kit projects }

Here are some of the projects I created with My Scrapbook Nook December kit. Did I mention that I love this kit ? I created the card for my card class and all the details can be found here. The base is a clear/acetate sheet from Making Memories Journaling Book. I used Martha Stewart border punch for the strip of glittered paper. It's new and it comes with the matching corner punch. I found it at Michaels and used my 50% coupon.

I added little rhinestones that come in the kit, to the snowflakes on the acetate sheet. I used white puff paint on Prima letters. The flower center is painted with Elmer's glue and sprinkled with red glitter. I found this to be the easiest way to add glitter. For the layout I used the die cut paper with the black cardstock as my base. The photo is of us from last Christmas. Alex looks so little there. I can't wait to see what he does this Christmas. The round journaling note is cut from the back of Making Memories Trims & Treats package. The number is from a package of numbers from Shabby Chic...all in the kit or sold separately at the store.

I had some glitter chenille stems laying around so I used them to make "leaves" for the flower and a heart. I stitched the heart with black floss to the page.

Shimmerz is looking for artists and designers who can create a variety of projects such as layouts, cards, altered art, and whatever else you can do!

Come and check us out. I was recently asked to join this wonderful team and I love it so much. Shimmerz is so easy and fun to work with. You have to try out!

For this layout I used rub-ons to create my own patterned paper. I have a box full of rub-ons and sometimes I don't know what to do with them. These particular rub-ons were on a sheet, 8 1/2 x 4 inches. I placed them on white cardstock and started rubbing. What is fun about these is that you can paint them with any Shimmerz color to match your layout. I know you have some. I used Royal Red and Golden Wheat Shimmerz paint and December Sky Blingz . I didn't add anything else. This is what Shimmerz and Blingz looks like. It reflects light and it shimmerz.

***I have some new things in my Etsy store, I am slowly trying to update. If there is something that you see here and like, let me know.

{ My Scrapbook Nook December kit - Making Memories Mistletoe }

December kit. What do you think? Isn't this yummy!!!! I love these colors. Making Memories Mistletoe collection papers, embellishments and ribbon, Prima flowers, alphas and bling, Shabby Chic calendar numbers. I wanted to share a layout and a card I created for the crop we had over the weekend at My Scrapbook Nook. This first one was a challenge to create a layout documenting things you love about your home. I used Creative Imaginations paper as my base. I bought it at a scrapbook convention this summer, I think. My original plan for this layout was so different, but I couldn't fit all the photos. I moved them around until this appeared. I had strips of paper laying around from my December Daily album, that I will share soon, and some scraps. I stitched them to the background. The flower is my layered flower that I have been making lately! Do you want to know how to make one? Here is a tutorial. A card with papers from my December Daily. The background is Collage Press and Making Memories journal note from Mistletoe collection. The stamp is Hero Arts and the label I made. Would you like one? Have a great night.
