Taking the Scenic Route

I created my layout using the new Heidi Swapp Art Walk line - I used the 6x8 paper pad and a few stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet.

I wanted to do a modern take on a grid design, but with a shape other than squares. I chose chevrons and used my Cricut to cut out 9 chevrons from different patterned papers from the 6x8 pad. I love the smaller patterns offered in the 6 inch paper pads, as they lend well to small designs. They're great for pocket pages too!

I distressed the edges on each chevron and sewed them down. I used a few of the chevron scraps to die cut some palm fronds with my Big Shot.

I used white acrylic paint, watered down, to create the white splatters.

I first tried to use some Thickers as a title, but decided I wanted to keep it bright and white. So I used some of the 6x8 Heidi Swapp paper to cut the word "Palmettos" from my Cricut. I used a free font, isolated the letters, and welded them together.

The rest of the title is cut from the Concord & 9th Double Cut Alpha Dies - always a favorite of mine!

This is literally one of my favorite photos I've ever taken in my life. So it was actually a lot of pressure to scrap it well! I am happy with the outcome, however.

To accompany my tropical layout, these die cut ephemera pieces from Kaisercraft's Paradise Found were absolutely perfect!

I love to mix and match among collections, and this Kaisercraft color scheme works perfectly with Heidi's Art Walk.

I finished the page with clear dew drop enamel bits and fluffed the chevron edges!

I hope you've been inspired to grab a 6x6 or 6x8 paper pad and create! Make sure to hop along to Sara's blog next, and leave comments on all blogs to enter to win the prizes.

Thanks so much to Simple Stories and A Cherry on Top for sponsoring this amazing weekend of giveaways!

Christmas Traditions with ACOT

I love sparkly Christmas scrapping! I created this layout to house tons of dimension by using mixed media splatters, distressed paper strips, glitter cardstock and sewing.

All of these products are from A Cherry on Top, and are versatile to use for Christmas or just for any cozy fall or winter layout!

I combined puffy stickers with cardstock stickers for added dimension.

This page was a fun landing spot for the random photos I took throughout the holidays of our traditions, but didn't warrant a single page for themselves.

I'm loving this buffalo check trend! I hope it never goes away. Even if it does, it probably won't in mine house, as that's what my decor is!

This adorable cut file is from Paige Evan's Happy Scrappy Place and was a fun freebie!

Pop over to A Cherry on Top for all your holiday decor and crafting needs, or check them out in person this weekend at their warehouse sale, if you're new Saginaw, MI. I wish I could go!

xoxo, Natalie

Merry Mail!

I'm sharing the holiday greeting cards I created for my crafty friends this year. It's nice to make pretty cards for those who you know appreciate a handmade item. These were actually the only ones I sent out! I feel like everyone get enough photos of my little ones throughout the year on social media, so it's a bit redundant.

But these were super fun to create. I did a non-traditional Christmas color palette, added sparkle, sparkle & more sparkle & tada!

I used Pearly shimmer something or other from Stampin' up for this wreath embossing, and I love how it turned out.

I used an Ink Road stamp from the Fir Real set for the merry and bright sentiment. I stamped it in a rose gold and embossed with iridescent glitter.

I found this adorable little Christmas Card list book at the thrift store - completely blank! The pages were old looking & I knew they would be wonderful for some Christmas projects.

I used some white glitter ribbon, tulle and a snowflake button here with some hot glue.

This wreath was embossed with heat and stick powder & I added fine, green glitter.

I cut all of the branches out of glitter cardstock on my Cricut.

I had so much fun creating these girly cards!

I always try to think of what I would like to receive in the mail, and the answer basically always includes lots of glitter.

I inked all the edges with the same rose gold I used for the sentiment to bring all the elements of the card together and give it an aged look.

 

I hope my crafty friends enjoy their holiday cards! I also hope they all make it in fair condition. I put a piece of cardboard or bubble envelope over each card for safe mailing.
