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: 

Patterned Paper: Quick Quotes Earth Wind Fire

Card Stock: Red & Black (from my stash)

Glitter paper: Gold & Green from my stash

Yellow brads (From my stash)

Grateful Journal and Thanksgiving Activity Booklet

Welcome crafty friends, today I am bringing you a fun activity booklet and journaling cards for my young dinner guest on Thanksgiving. These are place cards as well. Each child will have these on their plate to show them where they will be seated. The journaling cards can be saved and placed in a scrap book for them and the activity book keeps them busy during the times the adults are visiting with other adults.

The activity book is a 5 X 7 with things to color, Tic Tac Toe, word scramble , word search, Maze, I covered the activity book with a 12 X 12  Earth Wind and Fire sheet cut down to 71/2 X 5 1/2"Tied with a green ribbon, on the front of the activity book I cut down a 12 X 12 paper to a 81/2" X 11 paper to run through the printer Cannon TS5000 and copied the body of the turkey on to the patterned paper, I fussy cut the turkey out. coloring his feet, beak and comb with distress markers. The turkeys feathers are made from a feathers die using scraps from the Earth Wind and Fire paper line. 

The journal pocket was created using the  paper line Honeycomb.  I cut out a large leaf added two circles to the center of the leaf, the larger circle is edged with Milk Chocolate Powerful chalking ink. one circle is a photo of the child. Which was printed from the Cannon Selphy 1200, The photo was then punched out with round punch. The large leaf was then attached to a belly band to keep the journal closed. Inside the pocket are 30 journaling cards for the children to fill out.

Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper: Quick Quotes - Earth Wind Fire 
                                                     Honeycomb 101

 Card 1
Card base is a red card stock layered with Quick Quotes patterned paper Earth Wind Fire QQP-EW105 on the right side and the lower front with QQP-EW107 on the upper left section.
Card 2 is a navy blue card stock I layered a star over the upper left using pop dots to raise it up then layered part of the sentiment over and around the star and on the lower part of the card.
Both cards where then finished the  by cutting out the larger sentiments placing the sentiment on the right. Each of the pieces of paper that was layered on the  card was first distressed on the edges using Royal Blue or Berry Jam Powderpuff Chalking Inks.

Colors of Fall

Hi, thanks for stopping by, I am here to share todays project "Colors of Fall" four fall cards,
fall is such a pretty time of year with the weather changing, which means all the trees are changing colors as well. I created them using Tim Holtz die " Tattered Leaves" and the new paper collection by Quick Quotes "Earth Wind Fire".

The view of all four cards, I used earth wind fire and the Tim Holtz die "Tattered Leaves". With each card the back ground was created by using many the scraps. I used the scraps in many different directions creating unique backgrounds. I then used a larger piece of the paper to layer over the unique backgrounds to layer the leaves and the letters of fall.

 Card 1

Each of the leaves has been distressed with Navy PowderPuff Chalking Ink.  The leaves tied with a thin string distress with PowderPuff Chalking Ink, This was repeated on all four of the cards with the exception that Bard Board Chalking Ink was used instead of Navy.
