Laughing Lola Meets Frosty

I love this paper pack!  It is our Laughing Lola paper pack...who would have thought you could make snow pages with it!  You can use it for so many different events!  I made this layout for snow pictures!  Now we need to get some snow so I can put some pictures on them!  I wonder if my husband would make me a snowman?  LOL  I think I need grandkids!  

But if you have past pictures of your kids in the snow, you are ready to go!  If not, make sure you get out there when it does snow! :)

This snowman is cut from our Artbooking Cricut Cartridge!  I am addicted to him!  I cut his scarf from the pattern paper.  

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!  I made this cute card the other day using our Dotted Love (M1026 $2.95) stamp.  It was fast and easy!  Sometimes you just need to make a quick card and this is the one!

The chevron down the side is using our ruby chevron washi tape (Z1933 $4.95).  What I love about this is I used it on my Christmas layouts and now I am using it on a Valentines card.   Love the versatility! 

We have a BUNCH of our M size stamp.  And the best part they are only $2.95!  You can see them on page 113 of our Autumn/Winter Catalog and different ones on page 119 of our Spring/Summer catalog.  You can view these on my website.  Oh and we also have these in monogram stamps.  They are on page 114 of our Spring/Summer 2013 catalog.  These catalogs are all on my website.  

Check them out!

Fox Stamp Set

The stamp of the month for February is this cute stamp set featuring the popular fox!  I didn't have any pattern paper that worked with it...so I made my own!  Remember, if you have stamps, you can create your own!

Here you see the chevron pattern in black and white.  I just got some white cardstock and stamped our Chevron in black (from In the Background stamp set (D1540) page 98 of our Spring Summer Catalog) and I had some cute paper!

Here I stamped the plus sign background stamp from our All the Details stamp set (D1555) on white cardstock (yes white) then I sponged it with Sunset.  Gives a different look from stamping right on the Sunset cardstock

Here I popped their heads up to give them some dimension.

And lastly here is a card.  I did the same things as the layout, but on here I also stamped on Sunset cardstock with the plus sign stamp set in Sunset ink.  You can see the difference between that piece and the one I sponged in Sunset.

If you would like this adorable stamp set, you need to get it in the month of February.  Once March arrives, it's too late!  So get it now!
