Winter Wonderland


First day of snow in Eagle River, Alaska.
We went from nothing to over 6" overnight. 
I went to bed early not feeling well when it was lightly raining, 
and woke up to a Winter Wonderland.
So beautiful.



Wreath, p. 36
Stems with round buds, p. 34
Flower cluster, p. 29 (I used one little white paper dot for the center and then decided to just draw the rest with my white gel pen)
Leaf stem, p. 19
Gray leaves, p. 29 (stamped with background stamp included with Flower Market Cricut bundle)
Winter Wonderland title banner, p. 21
Large Tree, p. 25
Stitched tab, My Creative Time


Close To My Heart, Cricut Flower Market cartridge

I'd love you to shop with me and add your order to one of my open parties.
SHOP HERE


I am loving the scrapbook layouts with this cartridge!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Tiny Halloween Village

Hi, everyone! I had a lot of fun last month cutting out and paper piecing a Tiny Halloween Village. It was so fun! Oh my gosh. I really enjoyed this. It took me a couple of days to get them all put together, but I love seeing it on our counter. It's so cute!

Fence Table Runner & Haunted Trees

Ghostly Dwelling

Jack-o-lantern Cottage


Candy Corn Cottage

Lil Graveyard House

Haunted House
It was very helpful that Carina Gardner (the artist) also has a YouTube Video tutorial on how to build all of the houses in this series. Thank you so much for that, Carina!

Full of Thanks, Cricut CTMH Flower Market Layout


I'm so tickled about this Autumn Wreath layout!
First of all let me say, this wreath idea was not my own. I found it on Pinterest and thought I'd try to recreate one similar for my own scrapbook.

Close To My Heart, Cricut Flower Market Cartridge

 I also used a stitched tab die from My Creative Time

 


Enjoy your weekend.
:) Janis
