SEASONS GREETINGS

Seasons Greetings!  Today I am sharing a card I made with an Art Impressions stamp called "Seasons Greetings". There is Graphic 45 paper in the background, and I colored the image with Copic markers.  Added some itty bitty red brads and red ribbon.

MERRIEST CHRISTMAS CARD

Had some time this afternoon, so I made this Christmas card. I wanted to create something using the reindeer from the Close To My Heart Cut Above Christmas Card Kit. I actually added Whisper ink to the reindeer so he would match the paper on my card. Snowhaven paper pack (X7188B) and Merriest Christmas Holiday (B1468) stamp set was used for my design. Now, created your own!  Happy crafting!

QUICK & EASY CHRISTMAS CARD


Had to share a quick and easy card you can make with your scraps of paper.  I made 5 of the same card within an hour this afternoon!  Cards were made with Close To My Heart Snowhaven paper pieces, cranberry ink and ribbon, and glacier and white cardstock.  I can't take the credit for this one; saw the idea on Pinterest by consultant Vicki Wizniuk. I chose the paper and colors I wanted to use. You can too!!

NOVEMBER CAMPAIGN SPECIAL


As most of you probably already know, I am a traditional scrapbooker; I like making my own scrapbook pages from scratch. For this reason, I guess I don't talk a lot about our Studio J. Studio J is the digital online scrapbooking at its best.  If you have lots of layouts to create, but little time, then this could be for you!  During the month of November, we are celebrating the five-year anniversary of Studio J with layouts for just $5 and five ways to win. If you are interested to learn more about this online scrapbooking special, visit my website for all the details.  www.ctmh.com/brendabeckham
