I have been trying to get ahead by prepping some layouts ahead of time- ready to pop some photos in!<br />
<br />
For a traditional look, 'Tis the Season can't be beat! It's lovely green and red colours and beautiful patterns are perfect for just about any holiday photo or card!<br />
<br />
I have started with a couple of simple and easy layouts for holiday photos:<br />

One of things I love best about living on Vancouver Island is the amazing fall weather and the colours that autumn brings! This last week has been clear, sunny and warm- and perfect weather for getting outside and enjoying all that nature has to offer. This past weekend, my love Mark and I went to visit <a href="https://www.butchartgardens.com/" target="_blank">Butchart Gardens</a> - an internationally renowned garden built on an old quarry. It is beautiful all year round, but I had never visited in the fall. It was incredible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, many photos were taken, and luckily I have the Grateful Heart paper pack and embellishments on hand to scrap a few of those photos!</div>

I have finally had some time to play with this month's special Holiday Sparkle Kit - love me some shaker cards! And so simple and easy to put together- plus an adorable Christmas stamp set, as well.</div>

The non traditional colours are fun, and I love the easy peasy foam and acetate to make the shaker cards! I have always loved them and with this kit they are so quick and simple!</div>

My friend Meghan and I did the Walk for Arthritis and I wanted to document the event. The blue paper in the More Magical pack was a perfect fit for the blue and white Arthritis Society logo! And the starry paper was great for the "walk star" goodies I saved from the event! Meghan and I both live with rheumatoid arthritis, and this was a great way to raise money and give back!</div>

I have been busy in my craft room catching up on all those unscrapped photos I have been collecting on my phone! Because I wanted to get things completed fairly quickly, but still looking good, I opted to use the <a href="https://papergoodness.closetomyheart.ca/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=11126" target="_blank">Fresh Air</a> paper pack and embellishments, along with the downloadable instructions for putting together 3 double layouts and 8 cards! They came together quickly and easily!</div>

This pack is perfect for your camping, hiking and other outdoorsy photos! I used photos from our trip to Pender, as well as some from the trip my husband Mark and son Josh took to the Yukon last summer. One of the highlights for Josh was a trip to a breeder of sled dogs-huskies, which are his favourite! We had so many great photos, so I opted to use <a href="https://papergoodness.closetomyheart.ca/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9343&ci=6750" target="_blank">Flip Flaps</a> to add some extra photos.<br />

I took a bit of a hiatus from my crafty life. I spent a lot of time working-at work and at home. I did some quilting, but very little papercrafting, and completed almost no pages for my scrapbooks. My photos stayed on my phone.<br />
<br />
But I have discovered that not having a creative outlet is not great for my well being. I am grumpier, less focused - and there is a lot less joy in my life. I watch too much TV and mindlessly eat too much crappy food. I have less gratitude for the amazing life I have. And I missed it, that creative time, that art making.<br />
<br />

<br />
So I am back doing what I love. Scrapbooking. Memorykeeping. Storytelling. It's my happy place. Photos, stories, and all that paper goodness! I'm excited again. It's a good feeling, and one I hope to share. This is a place to share what I am creating, and to offer suggestions to help you on your creative journey. I will also let you know what products I am using, in case you are interested. I will try not to hard sell - that's not really who I am, anyway, but I do love Close to My Heart products, so I will be talking about them, too. Thanks for checking this out- I hope you will come back again. In the meantime, I have some crafting to do!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I have mentioned before, I am definitely a Cricut newbie!

I decided to stick with a Christmas theme, because I had a wooden sleigh that was desperately needing a makeover, and I wanted to dress it up to hold cards for Christmas!!</span><br />

I embossed and fussy cut the glasses and banners, and stamped "cheers" directly onto the vellum - make sure you allow dry time so it doesn't smudge! There are many more creative uses for this stamp set ahead! If you would like to purchase this set, it is available in the month of November only for $6.00 CAD with your purchase of $50.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather;"><span style="line-height: 19.6px;">I had fun using this stamp to create a Birthday page for my Everyday Life Planner! I LOVE my planner and I use it for everything, so each month I create a reminder page for special dates! I used two planner pages to create the base, then added some stamped and cut out images, along with a Picture My Life calendar card. The result - a quick and easy page to keep track of February's special days!</span></span></span></div>

One of my favourite new items in the Seasonal Expressions catalogue is the new Workshops Your Way collections! The contain EVERYTHING ( and I mean everything!) that you will need to create a minimum of 3 double layouts, a Picture My Life layout, and some cards with each kit!! If you want to make the project as is, you simply download the instructions and material list, order your products, and you are ready to go! Or if you want to order the kit and make it "Your Way", that works, too!</div>

If you have come from <a href="http://gmbscrapper.blogspot.com/2015/12/stamping-techniques-blog-hop.html" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>GINA'S BLOG</b></a>, then you are in the right spot!

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For my technique, I created a background using 4 colours of ink ( Crystal Blue, lagoon, Sapphire and Peacock) and then stamped and embossed with white daisy and some embossing powder mixed with glitter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I misted it a bit to blur the colour, and added some small dabs of white daisy and then some watercolour splashes for texture. I then stamped some snowflakes with white daisy and embossed them with white embossing powder mixed with glitter.</div>
