12 x 12 Vintage Christmas Layout - Jolly Santa Gnome

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I had so much fun last month making a scrapbook layout, that I made another this month!  This time I created a 12 x 12 page, featuring the "Jolly Santa Gnome."

I found some lovely coordinating vintage papers in my stash, I used them to assemble both my page layout and my die cut embellishments.

You can find all my layout instructions over on the YouTube Channel!

While over at the channel, make sure you like and comment for a chance to win the "Jolly Santa Gnome" die!

The winner of the "Christmas Puppies" die from my last video is Margaret D, you can find all the details over on YouTube!

CottageCutz Mr.Snuggles /beary cute LO

Hello Friends, today I have a Layout to share of my Son. This one is Called "Beary Cute" he was sooo darling when he was little...heheheehe and he still is. For this LO I used CottageCutz "Mr. Snuggles die for the Bears on my layout.

CottageCutz Mr. Snuggles is from the Winter Release from The Scrapping Cottage, and was cut using white card stock, and then dusted with distressed ink. I added pink cheeks and some white dots with a gel pen. Next I did his eyes with black Viva Pearl Pen.

The design Paper is another I bought at the American Crafts Warehouse Sale, its the Pebbles line. LOVE this!! Also used some stickers I bought there as well. Lastly I added some sewing to complete the page.

This page was pretty simple to make, as there is just the photo's matted and then I used the punches to punch out all the circles for the "beary cute". For the little banners by the bear at the bottom, I cut those and then added stickers to them, super easy!!! I will be adding this page to my Son's album. Love that I am getting some of the pages completed.

Thank you for looking and hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Build a Poinsettia Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all! Today I wanted to share a Merry Christmas Layout made for CottageCutz using the BEAUTIFUL "CottageCutz Build a Poinsettia Die" from the CottageCutz  Christmas Traditions Release.

I cut them all out using Red Card Stock, and then I airbrushed them with a red copic, not sure if you can see the airbrushing very well in my photo's. Next I used Liquid Scrap Dots to give them a 3-D look, and then added some CIP's gold glitter to the centers of them all.

These were easy to make, I just put them all together at the same time, let them dry, and then added the glitter, set aside and worked on my layout. My layout is super simple as it only consist of 2 dp pieces for the backgroud layers, then I took another design paper piece and cut it down to create a matt for photo's. 

Lastly I added lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon, and a button!

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a Layout!!! I wanted to do a Layout using the DARLING CottageCutz Tea Time Release! I have to say I'm in LOVE!!!!

This Layout will be FRAMED!

 Im not much for the large scrapbooks, since I already have 2 full ones, that are hidden in my house from YEARS ago.....LOL I love making the little mini albums, and I think now Im going to start framing these large 12 x 12's

Ok i'm also LOVING this Tea Time Releaseusing the CottageCutz! They are all my favorite!!! 

CottageCutz Used:

CottageCutz Sugar and Creamer set

CottageCutz Tall Tea Pot

CottageCutz Napkin and spoons

Mini Tea Cakes

CottageCutz Sugar & Cream Alphabet

CottageCutzPennants /plain

On the Tall Tea Pot I used a spray for the steam!!!LOL I thought it would be super cute!!

So on my layout I started with DCWV Lace and Linen Paper stack. Next I glued all pieces together using Helmar's 450 Quick Dry glue(LOVE THIS STUFF)

I added lace with the same glue listed above, and just ruffled it as I went along, it dry's super fast so no need to worry about it falling off like other glues :)

The pictures of my daughters were taken when we lived in california back in 2001 seems like just yesterday, but nope that was awhile ago....heheheheh

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the CottageCutz Pennants and MINI Tea Cakes are the SWEETEST lil' die's ever!!!

U Make Me Bloom

Have you ever had someone in your life that just makes you bloom? Makes you a better person just because? I'm so blessed to have several of those people and my sister Gini is one of them. She's been my best friend my whole life..This layout is about how she makes me bloom.

 I used multiple Leafy Foliage die cuts to great the vine over the page using two different shades.  I also inked all my edges.

 The small flowers are from Spring Embellishment...I love dies that can be versatile.  I curl them inwards with my McGill tools after I had cut them out.



Hope you enjoyed!  I'll see you soon.
