Double Christmas scrapbook layout - Chillin

Hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!!

I saved a few Christmas layouts from last year to share with you today. As I was looking at the pictures, I suddenly realized I hadn't titled one of them. How could I forget a title? I'll have to get back to you later this week with that one.

There were not a lot of spectacular pictures to scrap from the small get together with my parents last year. We were kind of partied out at the time.

Here are closeups of both sides. The snowflakes were cut with my Cricut and stickled with a glittery silver. I believe the patterned paper is BoBunny.



 Here's a closeup of the right side.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Keep checking back...I'll be posting about blog candy to celebrate reaching 10,000 pageviews once I figure out what I'm going to give away. I appreciate all of you!!! There are many SB blogs out there and I'm so happy that you choose to follow mine!

"Colorful Side Shows" layout and Giveaway!!

Happy Sunday! After church, we spent quite a bit of time and gas running around town for stuff. Gas is up to $3.85 here!!! I got home just in time to photograph the projects I made on Friday. I especiallly wanted to share this layout featuring the GlitzDesign distressing stamp set that I'm giving away here on my blog.

These pictures are from our 10 day 25th anniversary cruise we took this past December. It was our first cruise ever and we LOVED it! Anyway, back to the layout. Here is the left side:

You may have to double click the layout to see how I used the stamp in the upper section on the turquoise paper. I used the bottom of the five stamps which is a map and VersaMark ink pad. I love the dimension and detail it added to my layout.

Here is the right side of the layout. You can see a the stamped map on the top a little more clearly. 

The paper I used on the bottom is K & C company travel log. I enjoyed being able to journal right on the travel log which is printed on the paper. Easy! Fell in love with the antique brads from StampinUp.

I used two different titling fonts, both cut with my Cricut machine and Lyrical Letters cartridge. The tabs were punched with the decorative labels punch from StampinUp. I cut each label in half lengthwise and inked the edges for definition.

Here are the two pages side-by-side:

You will love this stamp set for both scrapbooking and card making. I have a brand new, unopened set looking for a good home. LOL! If you haven't yet done so, go back to this post about the blog candy and get yourself in the running to win it!

The background paper is Cloud 9 Design and the patterned paper is Little Yellow Bicycle, journaling blocks are Deja View...Here is the right side:
The details...Font: Winter Wonderland cartridge; Leaves: Wild Card. I cut out a strip of the argyle to use as the middle border and to anchor my title. I inked the edges of the argyle strip with a dark brown ink for definition. The pearlized blue lettering is shadowed with dark brown.
