My Little Shoe box, Shimmez and Clear Scraps!

This month My Little Shoebox teamed up with Shimmer and Clear Scraps and let us play!

Using some shimmerz products, I went crazy on this card. It is so full of bling (I only wish you could see it better). But the snowflakes rock!



and Clear Scraps made us (the entire DT) a mini book in our own name! This would probably be one of those times I with my name only had 3 letters in it. LOL! But 7 letters and 14 pages later I have a book about me! I'll share the inside pages soon!

BlueMoon Dec 7 layout!

This is the last of my 4 layouts using the Flea Market Finds kit. Which means I have a new Holiday kit next week to play with! There are a boat load of Holiday (and other) kits available, make sure you check them out!

For this layout I challenged myself to pull the colors from the picture and used them. I picked the pink (from the coat), red (from the bench), turquoise (from the sweater) and the green (from the background trees.) Probably colors I normally would use together but had fun with it.


These are some handmade flowers by using left over packaging and hand-cut flower shapes.

Using the leftover flower ribbon from last weeks layout I added it to my layout to add some texture.

Have a great day!
