"Catching Snowflakes" & "Silly Santa"

As much as I hate to admit it, winter is coming.  It has been a fantastic fall and snow is the last thing on my mind, but when Best Creation Inc. sent me a wonderful box full of Christmas and Winter themed paper I couldn't resist putting them to good use.

"Catching Snowflakes"

Supplies:  Paper & Chipboard (Best Creation Inc.), Letters (Basic Grey, Michaels), Buttons (Jolee's Creations), Doily (Little Yellow Bicycle), Lace (craft supply store), Gems (Kaisercrafts)

This line absolutely glistens it has so much sparkle on the winter scenes.  I love it.  And where there wasn't enough shine, I added more with some stickles.  The cut snowflakes were mounted with foam squares and then topped with stickles and a sparkly silver button.  Jolee's Creations have really caught my eye lately with some fantastic, classy embellishments.

This next page uses a mix of several holiday themed papers from a few different Best Creation Christmas lines.

"Silly Santa"



Supplies:  Paper & Glitter Cardstock (Best Creation Inc.), Trims (My Mind's Eye), Letters (October Afternoon, Webster's Pages), Border Punch (Fiskars)



To bump up the glitter factor even more I used the most SPARKLY trim I have ever seen. It is by Mind's Eye. I have it in two colours and it really is spectacular.  If that wasn't enough sparkle, I flanked it with a glitter, black scallop border I made using black glitter cardstock and a Fiskars border punch.

I'll leave you with that for today.  Hope you Tuesday is spark-tacular!  It won't be long and the holiday decorations will be going up.  Falalala lalala.
