Pebbles Home for Christmas

American Crafts was so nice to send me some the new Pebbles Christmas line: Home for Christmas. I am loving it and got right to work on a Christmas card!

I wanted to try my hand at using embossing paste and came up with this concept. It didn’t change a lot from what was in my head which is always nice. :) I used tinsel glitter to give it a little extra softness.

I have been a little intimidated of the edge puncher from American Crafts. Why? I have no idea. Tried it. Loved it! And the little star confetti left over was really fun too! My 2 year old loved it! 

I wanted to give the focal point a little extra punch so I grabbed some May Arts ribbon and stapled it with my Xyron Teresa Collins stapler on and then covered up some of the bottom part with a sticker that came with the collection. 

There is a super cute two-stamp set that comes with this line and I thought it was enchanting. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder to give it some pop and that “chalkboard” look.

I hope this inspires you to go out and grab some of this fabulous Home for Christmas collection by Pebbles Inc. and a HUGE thanks to American Crafts for letting us play with one of our “sister” companies! What fun!

Hey! Just a quick post for me today!

I made this card with Emmaline! She picked everything about it! I just helped her put it together. Super cute, right?! 

It's all made with Pebbles Home for Christmas collection. 

I just thought I would get a jump start on my Christmas thank yous. :) 

The stamp is My Creative Time: Once Upon a Time

The ribbon is May Arts Ribbon.

Blue Steel - a Layout for My Creative Time

Good morning! It's "April Fools Day" but I am not really a prank person and neither is my husband so it's just another day. But we were challenged at My Creative Time to come up with a funny face/prank layout. I thought about titling this layout "Funny Face" and I will do that for a different one, but this look is sooooo Emmaline's version of "Blue Steel" from Zoolander. 

I made this all with MCT dies and stamps with the exception of a paper trimmer for the photo. The bottom right strip of paper was a scrap.

I hope you like my layout! :) Go check out what the other girls have done with Scrapping the Little Things HERE! :)
