November Stamp of the Month: Cherish The Day

This month's featured stamp set is a collection of tickets celebrating each month of the year.  But as you can see from the artwork above, you don't have to use the images exclusively for tickets.  I love the tags and labels as well.  Have fun with it and think outside the box or 'ticket'.

Below is more artwork created by me and a few of my Close To My Heart Sistahs.  We used the Dreamin paper collection:

Santa Claus is Comin...

Have you started thinking about Christmas; presents, travel, baking for the neighbors?  I'm not even ready for Halloween, but I created these two layouts for my scrapbook playgroup in November.  We are using Believe Level 2 paper and Holdiay Pockets.  The titles were made with Noteworthy Dimensional Elements.  I added a bit of sparkle with my favorite new product, Glitz Silver glitter gel.  This stuff is so easy to apply and it looks like diamonds when it dries. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by, have a memorable day!

Dreamin' of Fall

These colors remind me of Indian Summer and cooler nights.  In Arizona we have to be very patient for Indian Summer...Its the middle of October and the temps are still in the 90s.

These layouts were created using Dreamin Level 2 paper and Level 2 Stickease.  The inspiration came right from the back of the stickers.  Sometimes its okay to cheat, right?

I used the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to create athe scallop (1.25") on the "Family" layout, and the chocolate colored mat (6") underneath the journaling square on the "Dreams" layout.

Have a memorable day,

Mischief Isn't Just for Halloween

I created this festive Fall themed layout using the Mischief paper kit and Level 2 rub-ons from Close To My Heart. I love how much character the rub-on images add to the page. Oh and those Desert Sand shapes under my pumpkin rub-ons...I cut those with the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge. How did we get by for so long without that?

Let me explain the banana...my younger kids went to a pumpkin patch for a preschool fieldtrip and collected there tiny pumpkins. Our older daughter wanted to decorate something too, so I handed her a banana. We'll see if that catches on.

Have a memorable day,
