Getting Ready for Christmas with 'Tis the Season!

It seems like it is a long way away, but Christmas will soon be here!  I have been trying to get ahead by prepping some layouts ahead of time- ready to pop some photos in!

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!

I have started with a couple of simple and easy layouts for holiday photos:

In addition to the 'Tis The Season paper pack, coordinating cardstock and complements, I also used the CTMH Cricut Flower Market cartridge.

With this collection, you will be ready for all those Christmas photos in no time at all!  I hope you will check out the links to get all the details on these great products for your Christmas crafting!

Autumn is Awesome!

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 Butchart Gardens - 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!

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!

This paper is so perfect for fall photos of all kinds!  This layout came together quickly and easily!

If you would like to purchase this lovely paper and coordinating embellishments, please click HERE - the full kit also has downloadable instructions to make three double layouts, if you need a little creative inspiration!

Hope you enjoyed this little taste of our Vancouver Island fall!  Get outside and enjoy - and don't forget to take some photos!!!

Bring Back My Pack

Today I have a layout using one of my favourite paper packs -More Magical!  It’s a

 retake of the Magical Paper Pack that was super popular!  It’s very Disney-esque, but also 

great for all kinds of scrapbook pages!  

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!

The More Magical paper pack and coordinating cardstock and stamp are available for a limited time, while supplies last.  I am planning on using it for some Disney pics that I have from our trip to Disneyland TEN YEARS AGO!  I hope that makes you feel better if you are someone who is chronically "behind" on their scrapbooking!
