Chic Tags Fall Exclusive Kit + giveaway!

Hello...today I'm up on the Chic Tags blog with a fun, easy technique using the Fall Exclusive Kit and a Chic Tags cut file.   Have you ever thought about using a die cut as a mask? Well, that's what I did to create a fun background on my cardstock!  

 

 

 

And here is the after effect!  I used a bit of spray ink from Tattered Angels. You can make it as light or dark as you prefer.  

 

 And here is my layout! I used some papers from October Afternoon's Apple Cider as well.  I just love the colors of the Fall Exclusive Kit!  The blue is a great accent color!

 

I used this "Thankful" 3x4 Journaling card for my title. I paired it with a pumpkin wood veneer shape.

 

Also, Exclusive Fall Flair are available!  I made a cluster of embellishments with the "Give Thanks" die cut as well as a leaf wood shape.  You can also spy one of the Journaling Cards underneath. 

 

More die cuts as well as wood veneers!  I also used a Happy Place Phrase Tag for journaling!

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I want to give away some Chic Tags Fall Exclusive goodies!  Tell me what you are thankful for this year and I will pick a random winner Sunday November 30th!

Have a great day!

 

 

 

 



Chic Tags Exclusive Halloween Kit: Pocket Pages

Hello friends!  Today, I'm sharing a Project Life spread I did for Chic Tags using the Halloween Exclusive Kit!  Halloween may be over but its never too late to document your photos and memorabilia from this year! 

 

 

I used last year's Halloween line from American Crafts to accent the Chic Tags goodies!  I used my small star Fiskars punch to create this fun border. I then stitched through the stars with my sewing machine!

 

Showing one of the journaling cards, as well as the cute cork "October" embellishment.

Another exclusive cork embellishment...and more stars! I made a small cluster of them and stitched through. 

 

For my title card, I used American Craft Thickers. In the upper right top, you can see another cork embellishment: a "fun times" pennant!

 

The Halloween Exclusives also include flair buttons! Loving this "trick or treat" flair!

I used the acetate numbers (which have a wood grain background) in one of the pockets. I decided to let them "stand alone" and stitched through. 

Ha ha...my spider pug Max!  He tolerates me dressing him up! I used a Happy Place Phrase tag for journaling and another exclusive flair! 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the Chic Tags Exclusives as well as the new Christmas Cheer Kit!

 

 

 

 

 



Practical Scrappers Project Life feature

 

 

 

Hey friends...I'm up on Practical Scrappers today with a Project Life spread I created using

 Teresa Collins Designs' Family  Stories collection.  I had used this line for a layout and figured I would go ahead and do a week of my very behind PL as well!  You all know I'm a huge TC fan so I love creating with her products!!

I'm so far behind on my PL its not even funny. So, I love when Practical Scrappers has a PL feature...it forces me to do a couple pages! 

I picked this week because it was Halloween (my fav) and when I left for my mission trip to Haiti. 

 

 

I swear one of these days I will be on top of things!  I have all of my weeks set up with post it notes and the photos I have printed are all in their slots.  I always feel like Project Life should be the last thing I work on.  So, how do you stay caught up? 

Be sure to check out the Practical Scrappers blog to see more PL inspiration!

Thanks!

PS-I apologize for my photos being a little dark! The weather here has been horrible! I'm so over winter!!
