Inspiration Wednesday - Something for the Girls!

Hello my friends! ♥

I'm here today to share my Inspiration Wednesday project for La La Land Crafts.

This week's theme is:

Something for the Girls

I created this 12x12 Scrapbook page of me and my Mom, featuring some of the AMAZING dies from the La La Land Crafts shop.  The dies are so versatile and can be used on just about any project from cards, scrapbook pages to altered art!

Christmas Carol Christmas cards and Tutorial!

Hello friends and happy Saturday! ♥

Run and grab your crafting supplies and a cup of coffee. I hope today's post inspires you to get started early on your handmade Christmas cards this year!

My cards feature Graphic 45's new Christmas Carol paper collection. This collection takes me back in time to my childhood days when A Christmas Carol would be playing all day long on the television, with the smell of warm apple pie in the oven and the crinkling of gift wrap from annual Christmas gift wrapping sessions with Mom.  

Here are some pictures of the cards I created. And don't go too far, I have a video tutorial for one of the cards linked below! :-)

Here is the video tutorial to help get you kicked into gear to create some Christmas cards! ♥

Be sure to check out the Graphic 45 blog today for more inspiration! Post your Graphic 45 projects to the Graphic 45 Facebook page, we'd LOVE to see your creations!

Have a happy crafty weekend! ♥
