A Very Merry Christmas!!

Hello, my sweet friends! I hope you're enjoying the very merriest Christmas season! 

I'm blessed to be sharing a card on the Maja Design Blog today as well! It's actually the same Winter Wonderland card I shared here two weeks ago, but due to problems with Maja Design's WordPress my post was permanently lost after a period of minutes, and remained down for the next couple of days. Hence, I am giving that card another go on the Maja Design Blog today.

Here on my blog I want to share special thanks to you for being a true and wonderful blessing in my life. I'm sharing some festive greetings from 'Christmas Past', and sending you wishes for the happiest of holidays.  

Thank you again for the joy you bring me each and every day by being a part of my crafty family. May the spirit of the Christmas season remain with you throughout the year! 

Hugs,

Winter Wonderland!

Hello, friends! How are you doing on this wonderful day? Has your corner of the world seen snow yet, or are you still dreaming of a white Christmas? Everything is lovely, green and blooming where I live, but there has been snow in the mountains recently, and I'm very much looking forward to getting up there to enjoy it. 

I'm super excited to be posting on the Maja Design Blog today, with a winter wonderland theme in my favorite winter papers, the Vintage Frost Basics Collection. 

Dimensional snowflakes, icy branches, snowballs, and loopy twine bows abound in this wintery scene. 

The blues and whites work quite well together in creating a frosty chill! 

Below is a peek at the interior of the card, including a little pocket to hold a gift card! 

Thank you so much for being here with me today. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful crafty family to share with and learn from. May your holidays be filled with the warmth and joy of those you love, and overflowing with crafty goodness! 

Hugs,

Christmas Cheer!

Hello! I'm so happy you're here today!!  I have a bit of Christmas cheer to share with you on this happy Tuesday. Are you in the midst of your holiday preparations? If so, then I'm certainly right there with you. Today I'm honored to share a Christmas card on the Maja Design Blog, created with Maja Design's fabulously festive 'I Wish' collection.

The Santa Claus image and sentiment are part of the paper collection, and a perfect focal point for a cheery holiday card. The collection features many other vintage images that are equally delightful, making it a very difficult choice.

A simple spray of frosty greenery, pinecones, and berries adorn the right side of the card, with a loopy twine bow providing a finishing flourish.

There is actually quite a bit of dimension with this card, which I'll try to capture in the photos below, as well as a peek at the interior design. The design papers are distressed, layered, stitched, and popped up with foam adhesive.

Thank you so much for joining me. I count my blessings to be in the company of such wonderful people as yourself. I send wishes for happy crafting and a holiday season filled with peace and joy.

Hugs,

Peace on Earth

I wish you a happy hello on this beautiful day! What have you been up to? I'm absolutely up to my ears in snowflakes. Not the cold kind that you sled in, because we don't get snow where I live, but the frilly and frosty paper ones that I make every year around this time for my Christmas cards. I start early with my cards because time seems to fly during November and December, and I'm also childishly excited over the Christmas holiday.

I'm blessed to be posting on the Maja Design Blog today, which is perfect because I never use anything but Maja Design papers for my snowflakes. It stays intact despite the delicate nature of the die cuts, and is perfect for layering into these dimensional flakes. For this first card of the season I've chosen the fabulous Vintage Frost Basics Collection.

The base of the card is formed as usual, by distressing, layering, and stitching the design papers. I'm sticking with just two colors this time around, because soft blues and whites create a wonderful chilly feeling when used together.

There are no flowers this time (which rarely happens for me), but instead an arrangement of layered snowflakes topped off with a bit of white sand texture paste for a truly frosty finish. Icy branches and tiny snowballs enhance the frozen effect.

A little bow graces the corner, simply because I love them and feel like nothing is finished without one.

Below is a peek at the interior of the card.

Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you're having a wonderful day filled with crafty goodness and plenty of Maja Design loveliness.

Hugs,

Autumn's Bounty!

Hello, sweet friends! I hope this day finds you happy and well. I've been in my craft room, whiling away some pleasant hours in creative pursuits. What have you been up to lately? Today I have the pleasure of posting on the  Maja Design Blog, which is always exciting for me. I may have mentioned previously that I love autumn. I can barely wait for that hint of chill in the air and nature's lavish display of color. This is when I spend my days with Maja Design's breathtaking Walking in the Forest paper collection. I find that this collection truly embraces the inspiring hues of the season, which is what I'm aiming for with today's card.

Each design paper is carefully distressed, layered, and stitched. The sentiment stamp has been on my desk just waiting for fall to arrive!

A die cut wreath forms an anchor for the plethora of leaves, berries, and flowers as they tumble down the front of the card.

A twine bow is tucked in along with the florals.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you'd like to win a free collection of Maja Design papers, check out Maja Design's October Mood Board Challenge, there's still plenty of time to enter.
