Pear and a Partridge Workshop On The Go

Unlike my last few Workshop On The Go's that I have posted, I stayed pretty close to the design of the Pear and Partridge design and kit.  I did do a few minor tweaks but for the most part, my photographs worked great with what was given.  One of the things that drew me to this layout was that it features standard 4" x 6" photographs (with the one exception in the top left corner, but even that one was a trimmed down version of a 4" x 6" photograph.  AND, the layout features both horizontal and vertical photographs...which I take both.  I often am challenged by a layout design that uses only one or only the other so this was perfect for my picture taking eye!

Sassy 12 Days of a Scrapbooking Christmas - Day 10

Christmas is almost here!  Can you believe it? I still have a million and one things to finish up but having been sick since Tuesday, I am pretty certain that what gets done gets done and what doesn't, well...guess I have head start on next year.  One thing is for certain, I have used more Pear & Partridge Paper (Close to My Heart's 2012 Christmas paper) this year than I have any previous year's paper collection.  I love it! And truthfully, I am looking forward to scrapbooking my many Christmas memories with this paper collection after Christmas.  Do remember, that in January right when many of us will be reminiscing and scrapbooking our Christmas pictures, that this paper pack as well as:  Flirty, La Belle Vie, Moonlight, Florentine, Pemberley, Stella and Victory will all be retiring if you are in love with any of these paper packs, or need to stock up to finish on-going projects, you will want to do so quickly.  That being said, as the retired list has officially been released, all of the "to be retiring" items are on a while supplies last status.

So, today's verse for you is this:

For this mornings artwork, I thought I would share my daughter Abby's Christmas Card that she made for her friends and teachers at school.  I let each of my children choose the stamp set that they wanted to use and the paper they wanted it to go with--then we preceded to create the cards together.  The finished card size was 2 1/4" x 3 1/2".  The paper collection is Pear and a Partridge (still loving this paper pack!).  The stamp is the retired Merry Pursuits.  The sparkle brads are from the Pear and Partridge Card Workshop On The Go and she used her own shade of pink to color her elves.  The little elf is popped up on foam tape.

To create the trees:  (as seen in the Fall/Winter Idea Book)

1.  Use the 3-d key and the letter "D" on the Artiste' cartridge.  These were cut at 4 1/2". 5 1/2" and 7".  To cut the 7" you will need to use a Gypsy or the Cricut Craft Room.

3.  Do desired random stamping, or organized stamping, to create a pattern.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 5

Day 5 – I am thankful for my brothers: from the mischievous little boys they once were to the amazing (and sometimes still mischievous) men that they have become.  They are my confidants, my shoulders to lean on, the most loving and caring uncles to my children and they continue to bless my life each and every day.    

 

 

Pear and a Partridge Cousins Layout

If I wasn't totally biased, I would say that I am not sure what is cuter the adorable munchkins or

Close To My Heart's new Christmas paper Pear and A Partridge but since the munchkins are mine, and my niece, I would have to say they take the prize.  The paper is a close second though.  lol. 

 

I have started a Christmas tradition with my children where I give them a new pair of Christmas jammies each year for Christmas Eve.  When my niece was born, I couldn't help but include her in the tradition.  And they were all so cute together.  Our "photo shoot" consisted of about 75-100 shots because when they are this little, you just keep shooting.  I finished with one adorable one, and lots of almost perfect ones...but when creating my layout, I wanted to add some of these more candid shots as well so I clustered them together on the right side.  To me it gives a better view of the moment and the children's personalities and their relationships together.
