Scrapbook and Cards cut file freebie!

Hello! It's that time of the month again, where I release a new cut file freebie over on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog!

Here is what this month's freebie looks like:

I used a mixture of Fancy Pants collections - Everyday Circus, True Friend and foil from the Oh Deer! collection to create this page.

I used the title and the hearts from the cut file on this page, layering bit of papers from the Fancy Pants collections over the woodgrain from the Everyday Circus collection.

I love how that foil looks tucked behind some simple white cardstock. So pretty and not too flashy either.

Starting this month, I have asked some GDT to join me on the blog using the same cut file to see what they can come up with! I am choosing talented crafters from the readers gallery in the magazine! This month, I am joined by my friend and super star scrapper Patricia Roebuck. You have to see what she did with this same cut file over on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog. I admit that her page is WAY better than mine!

Fancy Pants - True Friend collection

Good morning!!If you are anything like me, you are knee deep in holiday preparations. Our kids had their holiday concerts last week and now that they are over, we hve a little more free time during the week.

I am just stopping in to share a non-holiday project as I tend to get tired of seeing all the holiday projects posted out on the internet! This project was made with the True Friend collection by Fancy Pants. I love the colors in this collection, it definitely is a new fave for me.

You can see that there are fun wood veneer and chipboard shapes that co-ordinate with this collection and just work perfectly. Sometimes I find that the embellies don't always match the sentiment of a collection, this is not the case with True Friend!

I love the little ticket rols that you can get in some of the recent Fancy Pants Design collections. The True Friend roll is great, just peel off the sentiment you need and adhere or staple in place, like I did along the top of my page here.

Well, I better get back to cleaning, cooking, wrapping, baking etc... Santa is a busy guy ;)

Last Cocoa Daisy kit share!

Stopping by to share my last Cocoa Daisy Blue Ridge kit pages for October. A really great mix of papers and embellies in this kit! You don't want to miss out on this one.. I think the main kit is already sold out... but there are great add-ons available still!

This one was made for an upcoming designer challenge... but without spilling the beans, so to speak... I will say that I love it turned out!! I thought Emily was a bit mad when she came up with the challenge...but it put me outside my comfort zone and I do like the result!

 

As you can see, I cut up little bits of the papers in the kits and layered them over a grid like shape. I just kept adding and adding buttons, epoxy and wood dots, along with stamping and rubons too

I just love the wood dots on the Fancy Pants chipboard flower!!

I do have one more page that I did create for Cocoa Daisy with the kit, but I will be back later this month to share it as I used the kit for another DT project :) Stay tuned !

Fancy Pants True Friend!

Good morning!! I am super excited to be sharing a page I made using the True Friend collection by Fancy Pants!

I love love love this collection - the colours are amazing... that coral, and teal with hints of yellow, mint, brown and black. Yep brown + black together and it works! Love it!

I used quite a few die cuts and 4x6 and 3x4 cards on this page. I simply cut a few cards apart and layered them like paper, mixing in patterns from the 6x6 paper pad as well! I love the almost matte like sequins, mixed with some shiny ones!

Stay tuned the first weekend of each month when the Social Media team has a recap over on the Fancy Pants Blog - hope you will join in and check out what we've been tweeting, IG'ing, Facebooking,etc!
