Naughty or Nice Layout - FotoBella

Today I'm sharing my scrapbook layout on the FotoBella Blog using the Simple Stories collection called Sub Zero. I created an accordion fold mini album that holds five photos and adds a kinetic element to the layout. You can find the step by step tutorial HERE.

Confession Corner:  The final design of this layout was not my original plan. My first idea was to incorporate five small photos under the main photo. I wanted the photos lined up like little Christmas gifts with bows on top. However, the colors in the photos resisted my idea and just didn't look too good with the background papers. Therefore, I had to go to "plan B" an accordion fold mini album.

CAS Tree Card - Quick Idea

This is the perfect card to make ahead of time and keep in your stash of cards. By leaving space along the lower edge, you can add the appropriate sentiment as required.  When you need a last minute card, you can simply convert it to a "Thank You" card, "Get Well Soon" card, or "Happy Birthday" card.  I find this design to be especially useful as a "With Sympathy" card. Check it out HERE on the Blank Page Muse Blog. 

This card is entered into the following challenges...

• Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge (All that Glitters is Gold)
• Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge (Thanksgiving)
• Creative Embellishments November Challenge (Autumn colors & leaves)

This bare tree stamp is especially versatile and by simply changing the color scheme
you can achieve a more feminine appeal. The possibilities are limitless!

Winter Cards - FotoBella

My first project of the month features the Simple Stories collection called Sub Zero. It is the perfect combination of bright colors that celebrates the fun activities done during the Winter months.  The 4x6" designs from the scrapbook paper pack were used as the starting point for my cards. Cheerful large messages formed the focal point and then quirky Winter animals and snowflake embellishments were added to finish them off perfectly. You can see my fun cards HERE.
