Scrapy Land Challenge #105 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy first Wednesday of 2019!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is as always, Anything Goes Using a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

I have some last Christmas cards to share with you today. When I saw the Poppystamps Nativity Scene Sidekick Frame and Stencil in the Scrapy Land Shop, I couldn't wait to use it.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxides to color the backgrounds. Using the stencil, I placed it over the panel and added the rays.

I then splattered diluted white paint on to the panels to resemble stars.

I added a Poppystamps Simple Bethlehem Stitched Frame to the opening, and then layered a Sue Wilson Swirled Silent Night for the sentiment.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) DL.ART Monthly Linky ~ Anything Goes
2) Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
3) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday ~ Anything Goes

I wish you all a safe and happy 2019!!

Merry Christmas Cards for Lemoncraft and Happy New Year!

Hello, everyone and happy New Year's Eve!! I hope you have fun plans to ring in the new year :) How can it be 2018 already?? For my final post of the year, I have a few last Christmas cards to share with you, featuring papers from Lemoncraft. This will be my last post for the Lemoncraft DT. I have truly enjoyed showcasing the gorgeous papers this last year - and I will still be selling them in my ETSY store so you can pick up these beautiful papers anytime :)

For the first two cards, I used 12x12 papers from The Christmas Carols Collection and sheets from the Christmas Carols Ephemera Cards. The images are from the Vintage Time 013 Sheet.

For my second set of cards, I also used papers from the Christmas Carols collection, the Christmas Carols Ephemera Cards and images from the Vintage Time 013 Sheet.

I still have family visiting for the holidays but once they leave, I'll be by to visit you and catch up on all the projects I've missed!! Happy New Year!!
