Nutcracker Suite The Girls Night Out

Today I am sharing a double layout of our traditional girls night out. I have been taking my granddaughters to the Nutcracker every year for the last 6 years, this year we decided to add their mom's.  The girls get a new ornament usually bought at the nutcracker, then we go out to dinner dressed up. Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker Suite, originally created in 1892. was an 85 minuet long, production with no intermissions. We attended the local nutcracker at Centralia College Corbet Theater. 



For the base pages  I use the paper line Earth Wind Fire by Quick Quotes QQP EW100, The photo mats are from the same paper line, QQP EW102  The ice skate was die cut from The earth Wind Fire paper line QQP EW 107 and the Nutcracker is QQP EW 111.


It is a lot of fun creating memories with your family,  we hope to keep this going for any years to come. 


Supplies Used: 
Card Stock: Red & Black (from my stash)
Glitter paper: Gold & Green from my stash
Yellow brads (From my stash)

Snowflake Joy

Today I  am sharing with you a 12 X 12 canvas. I peeped the canvas with gesso and  light  gel paste. I then added the Quick Quotes Whistlin Dixie paper line 106, tore the two long sides adhering it to the canvas with the gel paste


Full view of 12 X 12 Canvas 



Close up view of tuquorse glue paste  used with a snow flake stencil, color spays green, blue and plum sprayed over the paper and the canvas.  Flowers and leaves arranged on the left side with pearl flourish cascading out from the floral spay.  I used patterned paper to die cut the snow globe, snowflakes and the Christmas tree. Bora Bora PowderPuff  Chalking Ink  distressed the outside of the photo and the snow globe.
