jolly

I've been enjoying my holidays so far, late nights allowed so I've been getting some scrapbooking done. These pics are from Christmas 2009 so I'm so happy to finally have these done. Will add a little journalling later for my two bears.

Here's my layout featuring a tonne of Crate Paper (Peppermint Collection) and a little Christmas joy thrown in. ;)



I get my bakers twine from Ribbon's Galore... lovely, lovely twine...



I've recently discovered a wonderful product called (Suze Weinberg's) Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (aka UTEE), and it's joy!  I am delving deeper into the world of Ranger products it seems, that's for sure. This powder melts so thick and glossy - it really is a stand out feature on your projects. So I went to town as you can see, making my own patterned paper by stamping this Darkroom Door background stamp all over my Bazzill cardstock...




... and made some embellishments using my Silhouette SD, Collections chipboard stars and Stampin' Up! All-Purpose-Ink (74 Champagne Mist) ... alpha's from American Crafts.

Wishing all my lovely readers a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year!
