Holiday ATC's

Hello and Happy Christmas Eve Eve! I truly cannot believe there's only two days until Christmas. I am working today (a drawback of working in the medical field) then off for three days. Family time on Christmas Day then a chill day and then back to work. 
I wanted to do something nice for my coworkers so I decided, at the way last minute, to create some Holiday Atc's. I haven't created any in awhile and I was up for a last minute challenge. I found a cute Vintage image, added some ribbon, doilies, corrugated cardboard, sheet music, Petaloo Flowers, shimmer twine, sequins, gesso and Ranger's Occasions Small Talk Stickers and went into mass production!! Here's a look.
I included a small easel so the ATC could be easily displayed.
Here's one more close up.
I love giving special unique handmade gifts, even if it's at the LAST MINUTE! 
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Holiday Season. I'll be back next Tuesday with my final layout for the Noel Mignon Design Team!

A Holiday Layout with the"Oh What Fun" Classic Kit

Hey Everyone. Hope your Holiday preparations are going as well as they can!! It's such a hectic time of year so for me crafting is a great distraction. I've been keeping busy by creating Holiday cards and a few canvases for a friend to give as gifts. I also have a new layout up on the Noel Mignon Blog today using the "Oh What Fun" Classic Kit. I LOVE this photo by my talented photographer friend Heather Chick of her sweet daughter. it's a prefect fit for my layout. Here's my page. 
I have close ups and details about our challenge this week over on the Noel Mignon Blog. I'd love for you to stop by and say hello!!
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you the Happiest Holiday Season!!

Holiday Cards

I've been on a Holiday Card kick lately. I like to have them on hand to give, for display and to sell if someone wants a unique handmade card for someone special. Here's a super quick card I made using Lawn Fawn's "Peace Joy Love" Paper pack. Here's my card.
I used a piece of a straw for the tree truck, added a few sequins and a star punched from glitter paper. The sentiment sticker is Tim Holtz Occasions Small Talk Stickers.
These could be easily mass produced if you needed some quick Holiday Cards for the special teachers in your life. 
I'm currently working on some commissioned canvases so I will share them shortly. 
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Teacher Cards

Well, Hello December ... when did you sneak up on us?!?! Not sure I'm ready for you but here you are. I feel like the race is on!! 
I'm back today to share a few Teacher Cards I made using more of the 
Simon Says Stamp May 2016 Card Kit. These cards were super easy to make and would make a nice home made greeting for a favorite teacher. 
I can't get enough of the Lawn Fawn 6 x 6 Plaid Paper pads. I stamped the adorable apples onto distress Watercolor Cardstock and then water colored them with Distress Inks. Here's some close ups. 
Even a green apple looks cute with the plaid papers.
Here's the final card.
I see more plaid in my future!!
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
