2012 SPS Design Team Final Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

Happy December 1st.  Can you believe it is December? 

We have a lot happening at ShopPumpkinSpice this month. First our monthly Blog Hop... Thank you for coming by to see the inspiration we have for you today. 

This month ALL of the SPS Designers will be Featured using the December kit "Wonderland Fun".

Here is a project I put together with the KIT... you can see all the Detail of the "Wonderland Fun" kit HERE:

In my blog surfing, I came across a mention of using card kits for layouts.
So this got me thinking... since the SPS kits are mainly card sized materials, could I (not a layout type of gal) put together a layout with it.  And guess what... I did and it was really easy to put together.

The only piece that is not part of the kit is the 12 x 12 base, oh and ink and adhesive.

The top left is a pocket with a journal card the pulls out and opens up to a 2 x 4 writing area.  The 'polka dots' mat is for a photo.  This came together really fast and didn't even make a dent in the kit.






I am having too much fun with Stickles and Glossy Accents lately. :)

Recipe:

Ink - Tim Holtz - Frayed Burlap

Quick Card with Winter Wonderland by MME

Hi Everyone,

Oh I just love this time of year.. all the fun papers and designs and decorations and food and sweets and and and... (hehe)

I really had a hard time choosing a paper to make a card.  I have so many favorites right now.. but I just smile when I see these little houses on this MME Winter Wonderland paper.

And I wanted the Paper to be the focal point.  So many times the cute designs get burried in the embellishments and sentiments.

This was a super quick card, took me more time to decide which piece of paper to cut - that is my problem, I don't want to cut the paper... I just want to keep looking at it... ahhhh sigh...


This is a closer look at the stickles and glossy accents.  I just couldn't wait for them to dry. hehe
You can see above, it really did make a nice little detail to the card overall.


 
This Bazzill Basic White cardstock ROCKS... It is the perfect weight for card bases, mats and it LOVES ink!  My 'go-to' paper now!
