Every Day Christmas Card Challenge #14

Today's card is a bit whimsical.  I loved these papers from SEI.  They are a bit non-traditional as far as colors.  I can't remember  the name of this line.  I am embarrassed to say the papers are 4 years old.  I hear my friend Carol scolding me for hoarding my papers, again!  LOL

I layered the printed cardstock and solid cardstock and gave them dimension with foam tape.  The little tag is a from the office supply store.  I stamped it with a Studio G $1 stamp from Micheal's using Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. The ribbon is from the SEI kit.

I hope you like it :)

Then and Now

This layout was for another challenge. A then and now layout. The first family picture was taken in 2004. The papers, ribbon, and embellishments are all from SEI's Mimosa collection. I love the glitz and sparkle on the papers! They are so hard to capture in a photograph.



This second photo was taken at Christmas 2007. We did a wonderful family photo shoot to include three generations. Joe's parents, brothers & wives, and all of the kids. We got some great pictures that day!


The bird was die cut using my Cricut Machine Home Decor cartridge. All of the other embellishments were hand-cut or punched using my Creative Memories Circle Punch.

This was a glitter/bling challenge for March on my group list.

This is my beloved dog, Ruger, and my step-son, Noah. They bonded quickly, and Ruger was Noah's protector.
