Thankful For So Much

8 October, 2017 - Walking in the Forest

Jennifer Snyder here today, feeling thankful. While it may feel like life is spinning out of control, the world has gone crazy and work is stressful, remind yourself of the many reasons to be thankful. Thankful for supportive family, friends and co-workers. Thankful for health and a warm home. And thankful for a papercrafting hobby that brings peace, joy, a way to relieve the stresses of the day through beautiful papers and crafting supplies.

I made a card for a person who has helped me in my job for 10 years. She is a treasured client of mine and is moving to a new position. I value her assistance and level-headedness in the times when work seems like it can gobble me up.

My gorgeous paper choices perfect for the season are from Maja Design – Walking in the Forest paper collection. Featured below are the papers I used to create my card:

Maple ( both A and B side)

Mountain Ash (B side)

I grabbed another great product perfect for the season – my Spellbinders Fall Leaves die. I also added some gold embroidery floss, floral berries and a flower for embellishments.

Here are a few more closeups of the papers and embellishments on my card.

I am thankful for your visit and support. May your Autumn season be full of reason to be thankful.

Hello my dear friends!!!

It’s Mary here with you today and I have a new layout to share with you.

When I found on Pinterest this beautiful photo imediately came to my mind the ”Vintage Summer Basics” collection with the beautiful romanting papers. So, I choose the ”1921” paper and combined it with some beautiful flowers and a few metal embellishments. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

I gave my background a coat of clear gesso. When it was dried I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil and I heat embossed the pattern with the ”Angel Wings Gold” Lindy’s Stamp Gang embossing powder. I continued by coloring my page with Lindy’s sprays ”Cattail Copper Brown” and ”Sea Grass Green”.

I heat embossed all the chipboards with the ”Midnight Bronze” Lindy’s embossing powder. As usual all the chipboards I used are 2crafty.

When everything was glued down, I added some Copper glass glitter.

Paper used:

That’s all for today, my friends!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello our blog friends. This time I would like to show you my first Christmas Card. I received the Christmas paper collections a long time ago. Couldn’t wait to use them! Finally I can say – the season for the Christmas cards has started ! 🙂 Here is my first proposal :

I cut out the Santa Claus from the “I wish – Ephemera” paper sheet, then created the background by adding layers one by one. Chipboard, paper flowers, some soft pom-poms and little bells.

Do you feel this magical atmosphere of Christmas here ? I do 🙂 Hope I will inspire some of you to creating the Christmas cards, decorations etc. a little bit earlier. Hope this card is a good sign and I will find time to create more projects like this. Hugs, Paulina

Goodmorning lovelies,

Today I have a another layout to share for this layout I used two pretty Maja Design collections “Enjoying Outdoors” & “Summer Crush” because both collections had the colors that I wanted to use for it which are purple/pink/peachy tones. This time I used another picture of Camilla her precious twins singing like two little diva’s. My post was for last Friday but I was really busy adding this video so I was not ready in time so I stole this Monday to post with approval of Camilla ofcours hihihi.

Oh this was such a fun layout to make I do have my favorite Maja Design collections and those are not on top of my list but I have to say I think now I will take them out more often. With my precious 49 and Market flowers it is easy to transform your layout in a flowers sea of gorgeousness. As you will see in my video I made this layout through out the day as the light changes during the movie. Have fun watching 😉

Hope you enjoyed my second video ever thank you so much for watching now for the closeups:

Don’t you just love these colors together I love the purple and pink /peachy but I never use them like this. I do intent to get out my green/blue papers and flower more do not know why that is tho…..although purple is my favorite color I almost never use it lol

On this layout I did some watercoloring but not with a brush but with a piece of plastic….the finishing touches that I have done on this layout are not in my video as I do intent to alter my layout when it is already finished {before I take my pictures}
