Thanksgiving Layouts



 Thanksgiving layout I made using a few files from ScrappyDew Creations.  I used Thanksgiving Palz 2012 and Scarecrow 2013 for the trees and leaves. I also used Michelle's borders for my photo mats and top border. These borders by the way are free! I just love this Thanksgiving file! The pilgrims and Indians are just too cute! TFL!

Little Angel Gift Box


Keeping up with our Christmas gifts, for this week we have a little box, just to add some candies or a small baking goodie.



This lovely angel is from the ScrappyDew´s file "Little Angels", I used traditional Christmas colors to turn the Easter angel to a Christmas angel.


And, of course, I used a lot of shine as I like for the Holidays Season.

Christmas Tags

Today I am a Guest Designer for Scrappy Dew!

I love these Christmas Tags 2013 , they are new!


The snowman tag is all scrap paper.

I added Aleene`s Glitter Snow.


The Santa  tag is all scrap paper also.
I added Aleene`s snow to the Santa also.
I just love how quickly this dries and the dimension it gives.

Christmas trees tag is very cute..
This  is made with scrap paper also.
I added snow to the bottom of the tag.
I also added Stickles on the trees.
I added the snowflakes from the last tag to put
on this circle tag...


The Christmas Ball tag is layered and I used scraps.
I also added Candy Cane Stickles all around the edges.



This last tag is very cute also... I used scraps and
I used Crystal Stickles all around the edges.
Candy Cane Stickles for the dots after to and from...

The pins you see holding the tags are all from Pinque Peacock
Pearl Pins and Angel Pins...

I have already made a few more of these tags and 
added embossing... just love them...

Thanks again to Michelle... for the invite to be Guest Designer!!!

Dear Santa!




Hi I wanted to share a layout I made using the "List For Santa" file. Every year my kids love to sit down with the Toys R Us fliers and write their letters to Santa. I left a pocket behind one of the photo mats to place the letters they receive from Santa. I also think I may photo copy their letters to Santa and place on one of the photo mats. I still have to finish the boy version but will post it sometime this week!

Too Cute to Spook!

I used the current freebie over on ScrappyDew's website, http://www.scrappydew.com/news/, called Spider in Web.   So here is what I came up with for my daughters Halloween 2013 card.

This worked up very quickly and turned out cute as a bugs ear!  Haven't heard back from the girls but I think I nailed it.

So that's it for Halloween 2013.  It's officially time to start Christmas 2013. What do I have up my sleeve?  You'll just have to stay tuned....but right now my couch is calling and a naps sounds good.  

Bright Blessings my friend, Jana

Caddy Box

So it is time to start working on our Christmas gifts.

Scrappy Dew´s cutting files are adorable and work wonderful to decor any Christmas gift, just use the right colors and you will be a hit on this Christmas.

My first gift is a caddy box for a body cream and a splash, to encourage anyone who receives, to take a time for herself.

I add to the box, two cutties from "Little Beauties 2013" cutting file.






What do you think?????

I love it!!!!
