kraf*T*y mama: Baroque Motifs

Sunday, January 4, 2009

I have been scrap happy over Christmas Break! This is a VERY good thing! A group of us on SCS called the PPPHM challenged each other to do 12 layouts over break (several of us are on vaca, or teachers etc). I must say I am doing better than expected! I have 8 of them done! I also got to spend a day scrappin and playing with my friends Cricut Expression! So it has been a very scrappy break!

This layout is of my boys opening stockings LAST christmas at my Grammies (our last one there sadly, she no longer lives on her own on the farm :C)

This is a sketch off of Got Sketch? Valerie has some GREAT sketches! I even did her mini class awhile back. This is my first layout that I used my new sewing machine on!!! Just a little stitching but I LOVE it! TFL!

PP: Basic Grey Figgy Pudding

Embellishments: Strips, snowflakes Basic Grey Wassail
Stamps: Baroque Motifs SU
Ink: Ripe Avacado by Papertrey Ink

At school we do a Christmas around the world unit. We visit, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Mexico and of course good ole USA!!!! We make a passport and suitcase and everything! IT is so fun! Well next week is Germany and we talk about the origination of Christmas trees and the German tannenbaum. So this card makes me think of that with the deep green! This card is pretty simple - its another of my mass produced sets! The base is very vanilla with the big swirl from Baroque Motifs stamped in Handsome Hunter. In the corner I stamped the sentiment in the same - it's actually from Snow Swirled and the image is Solemn Stillness stamped in handsome hunter with the swirl in gold and embossed! 3 DIFFERENT sets were used and one's not even a Christmas set!!!!! I CHALLENGE you to try that! Either use a set that's not a traditionally christmas set to make a christmas card or use 3 different sets to make a christmas card! Oh and the ribbon is just some holiday ribbon from Michaels! TFL! More to come!

Who is the Krafty Mama?

Hi I'm the Krafty one! :) I'm the Queen to 2 little knights and a sweet princess. I married my knight in shining armor (kevlar) over 8 years ago and I am a REAL mom, wife and substitute teacher trying to be the best I can be! I love "krafting" but tend to buy more supplies than I actually use. I love make up, nail polish, hair products and fashion but have been known to leave the house in sweats a messy bun and no make up! I love to cook and bake but am guilty of feeding my kids McDonalds in a pinch. I love direct sales and have joined too many to mention! I would love to get to know you!
