December 25 Layout With Kreaxions

Hello scrappy friends!  Today is the design team reveal at Kreaxions and the theme is Christmas.

I used a sketch created by Sue Sykes and used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #307 with insert B for the outside corners of the black paper, and the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #312 with insert A for the snowflakes.  The circles were cut with the fabulous Kreaxions Circle Cutter.  I love it so much and use it often.

The circle cutter and Kreaxions Punches are available in the online store at Just Imagine Crafts.  Thanks for stopping by.

A Blast From The Past Mixed Media Layout

Happy Thursday!  Today I am sharing a layout that I created on a whim last night.  I love gold at the moment I used Heidi Swapp's Colorshine Mist in gold and Cranberry Zest by Tattered Angels to achieve this colour as I was going for something vintage.  This was my parents and I on my wedding day back in 1980.  The photo is a bit blurry because I have to scan the photo.

This was my sanity break from all the hustle bustle that this holiday season brings.  Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
