Blessing Jar and Sending You...Harvest Happiness

I had this idea about a month ago and finally made it while visiting my sister!   I though it would be awesome to write down one blessing each day during November and keep them in this jar.  The Blessing Jar has a coordinating card (just for fun - the stamp set inspired the actual jar).  The little pocket holds the slips to write your blessings on.  

The jar has a piece of Dreamin' B&T around it, along with ribbon from our Honey Mini Medley and a charm from the Harvest Charms.  

**Tip - Use the blessing strips as journal prompts when you are ready to scrapbook your Fall/Thanksgiving photos.

I used Dreamin' Paper, ribbon and charm from the Honey Mini Medley, Joyful Jar My Acrylix Stamp Set and  Harvest Happiness Stamp Set

for this card.

The pocket is from the 10 Things Pocket and I decorated it using scraps of Dreamin' paper and a Harvest Charm.  (I used the tags from the 10 Things Pocket on the Roxie Board Book).   I cut 1" x 4" strips of cardstock to slip in the pocket. 

Live, Laugh, Love Layout

Sonoma quickly became one of my favorite new kits as I made this layout.  This is the left side of a 2-page layout that I made using our Sonoma Level 2 Paper, Love Life Stamp Set, Hooray Bouquet Stamp Set,  Just Blooms Paper Shapes, Pearl Opaques, Clear Sparkles, and the Heirloom Embellishment Assortment.

This is the right side of the layout.  The pattern is in the Magic How-To Book on page 48 & 49 ("Performance").  

    **Tip - The technique I used to distress the edges - Smokey Plum Reinker and the Stipple Brush from our Texture Tools set - dip the brush into a craft jar with reinker and use short strokes from the edge of the paper toward the center. 

This is a close up photo of the flowers.  They were cut out with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and then stamped with Hooray Bouquet stamp set.  You can also see the detail of the flowers from the Heirloom Assortment.  The Heirloom flowers have adhesive on the back so they are ready to adhere.   

Advent Activity Box

This cute little box is filled with activities to countdown to Christmas!  The box is our My Creations Memory Game.  I used the Believe Paper Packet, Red Sparkles, Green Ribbon Assortment, and the Countdown Stamp Set.

Holiday Wishes

Holiday Wishes is our November campaign and it is a must-have for your stamping stash.  The best part - it is Cricut compatible.  This D-size stamp set is only $5 with a $25 My Acrylix Stamp purchase (personalized stamps, stamp of the month, cricut collection, and workshops on the go do not count toward qualifying purchase).  

(P.S. - I don't have my stamp set yet, but will post artwork with it when I receive it)

Sonoma Workshop on the Go Cards

This card pattern is from "Wishes" book and is the pattern on

page 94 - Curtain Call.  The pattern is for a 4 1/2" square card; I converted it to be a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. 

I made this pattern three ways for my

Sonoma Workshop on the Go card class.

The WOTG kit includes:  Sonoma Level 2 Paper, Mini Medley Pewter Assortment, a round sponge, Sonoma My Acrylix Stamp Set, and the Sonoma Workshop Guide (the workshop guide shows a beautiful scrapbook layout that my scrapbooking classes are making).
