Holiday Mantle

Hey everyone..welcome back for another scrappy post. It snowed here last night..yay. This is quite the occasion for my neck of the woods as we mostly get rain here in my part of Oregon. I'm so hoping we get some more and possibly have some for Christmas : )

My project I'm sharing with you today is one I created for the Scor-pal DT Blog Week with Core'dinations. You can read the post & tutorial HERE.

I have to tell you this was such a fun project to design and create. I've never made such an architectural piece before and it was quite a challenge for me at first, but here's what I came up with........

This is made from nothing but Core'dinations card stock and Scor-tape : )

Some frosted greenery I had layed perfectly over the mantle. I added some vintage jingle bells for a simple holiday touch. The wreath is from a May Arts project...you can see the post on their blog HERE.

I forgot to take a photo but I have this sitting in my built in bookcase next to my real life mantle...it looks so nice displayed there. I'll try to remember to take a photo tonight and add it to this post. I have the small tree, that's shown in the May Arts post, next to it and it looks really cool.

Well..that's it for now. I have another project coming up this week with Scor-pal and Fancy Pants (it will be posted this Wednesday the 19th)..it's another holiday project so be sure to come back and check it out. I'll have a sneek peek for you later today in another post : )

Happy Craftin!!

CAS-ual Fridays CFC82:Even The Score

Hey everyone...welcome back for another scrappy post. Today I'll be sharing a card I made for the current challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays. I'm on the DT for Scor-pal and they're sponsoring the challenge for this week so we were invited to create a card within their theme..Even The Score. I jumped at the chance to do this as I love this challenge blog and I use my Scor-pal all the time so it was a no brainer for me : )

First let me show you my card then I'll show you how I used my Scor-pal .......

To create the diamond pattern..I took a 6 x 6 piece of vellum and placed it on my Scor-pal on the diagonal and made a score mark every 1/2"

Rotate your vellum...place it on the diagonal and resume with the 1/2" score marks...

When your all done your vellum will look like this....

Next I used my Scor-pal to create the fold for my card...

Now that the basics for the card have been created..the fun & creativity begins : )

I added some tiny sparkle bling to accentuate the diamond pattern.

I used a left over strip of the scored vellum for the inside...just to tie it in to the front.

And one last look...

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my scored & sparkly holiday card : )

Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see some inspiration from their DT and to see the FAB prizes being offered up by Scor-pal. You'll want to head into your creative space and start working on your card for this challenge.

Happy Craftin!!

Kaley's Fall Treat Box

Hey everyone...today I have another awesome project from my beautiful daughter, Kaley. Steve's family has this tradition where we all draw names in October and whoever we draw is the person we pray for throughout the month & we either make or buy that person a gift and give it to them on Thanksgiving when the family gets together. This year Kaley drew one of my sister's-in-law (I have 4) and she made her this Fall Treat Box, and I must say she did this 100% on her own without a template, die or anything...proud momma :)

Here she is proudly holding her creation : )

She's holding down the notecard she made...love the button with the twine.

She had fun digging through my flowers finding some that would match and when she like the shape of some but they were just white..guess what she did...yup..she inked them : )

She did an amazing job with this project and I'm really proud of her. She made a box similiar to this for me this past Mother's Day. I have it work on my desk and I love it!! Makes me so happy that my daughter loves to craft like I do and it is wonderful mom/daughter time when we work in my craft room together.

Thanks for checking out another scrappy post...happy craftin!!
