The snow came very early this year and it was so pretty.  That got the creative juices flowing.  What should I decorate the mantle with year?  The Stampin' Up! holiday catalog has beautiful kits for making banners and love the colors, but I was looking for something to make a little house out of when I started playing with the Mini Milk Carton Bigz L die.  Lo and behold did a miniature house began to appear.  I used the Silver Foil paper embossed for the roof and White Vellum paper for the windows,  Pistachio Pudding Ruffle Stretch Trim for the tree with Candy Dots, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine for Decoration, Very Vintage Designer Buttons with Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details for the door wreath, Simply Pressed clay for the snow /snowman with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Delicate Details Lace tape for window and trim. and Core-dinations paper.

Time for Some Summer Sun!  Actually I was making this as a favor for a Island themed Bridal Shower and it came out so cute that I decided to take for a 3D swap at Stampin' Up! Convention.  It is cut Crumb Cake sponged paper using the Dress Up Framelit, then the skirt bottom is cut off and a v cut for the legs. Using Creped Filter Paper and markers for the grass skirt, coconuts are Early Espresso punched 1/2" circles with Dimensionals behind them.  The bikini bottom is leftover from die cut flowers. Make a little box to put candy nugget in.

Strawberry Slush, the new Stampin' Up! In-Color is simply yummy.  I just had to make a scrapbook page using this new color.  The technique used is the Crystal Effects marble look using re-inkers of Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake and Whisper White Craft ink onto a Staz On stamped window sheet  backside and then while still wet placed on Silver Glimmer paper.  What a beautiful look! hope you will try it.

Happy Mother's Day!  This is for the love that mothers give everyday.  I created this scrapbook page as a Stampin' Up MDS Hybrid.  It was created in My Digital Studio and printed it out, then layered onto 12 x 12 cardstock, printed the embellishments from MDS and cut them out and layered them with Stampin' Up! ribbons.
