<span style="font-size: x-large;">What? Another Valentine project this week? Seems I'm on a roll. I wanted to share this simple shaker box card I designed using the Brother <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/scanncut/#.Uv5WQf0fz8s" target="_blank">ScanNCut</a> machine and <a href="http://www.bobunny.com/" target="_blank">BoBunny</a> "Head Over Heels" collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you made a shaker box card before? I have a 'quick & dirty' technique. ha ha. You know me, always looking for shortcuts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is the video that demonstrates how I created the card.</span><br />

Yes, I love Valentine's Day. I find I make lots of projects for this special occasion, and today I'm going to share a photo frame I altered.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I really like this pic of BabyOfTheFamily, taken last Fall. I actually designed this frame for display in the <a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L</a> booth at CHA. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All the heart embellishments are made with <a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L</a> designer shapes called <a href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/products/3d-foam-hearts-white-mix-1" target="_blank">3D Foam Hearts</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">That cute clear pocket of sequins and glitter is <a href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/products/keepsake-envelopes-assorted" target="_blank">Keepsake Envelope</a>, another product I love from <a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L</a>. The light pink/black stripes across the top and bottom are actually E-Z Squares tape runner that I heat embossed! </span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The scalloped mat in the background is also from the <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/scanncut/" target="_blank">ScanNCut</a> library of basic shapes.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyvAvdpzOf8S6wswWFtnor9yzPCvhNIa-VU2lfQXpy7EMVCRvpbFKtT5cVSmC4UWhRH4wOWJGt7r3G-mwlu9Gk_k3_8_uiWL7voBblI7Ux_M0D2qaKrRhn2Tiaih7pF4mHbD9fy-Jwo96/s1600/photo-10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyvAvdpzOf8S6wswWFtnor9yzPCvhNIa-VU2lfQXpy7EMVCRvpbFKtT5cVSmC4UWhRH4wOWJGt7r3G-mwlu9Gk_k3_8_uiWL7voBblI7Ux_M0D2qaKrRhn2Tiaih7pF4mHbD9fy-Jwo96/s1600/photo-10.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I also drew the nesting heart, starting with one heart and then scanned and resized it on the <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/scanncut/" target="_blank">ScanNCut</a> to make 2 more smaller hearts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">All the paper is <a href="http://www.coredinations.com/" target="_blank">Core'dinations</a> Colorcore card stock. I used both the Glitter Couture Stack and Glitter Silks Stack in 6 x 6.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The glitter paper is perfect for Valentine cards!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is my hand drawn "Love Arrow" SVG file for you to download for free. Just click on the word "Download".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A big thank you to my wonderful scrappy friend Sandra who came up with the idea of adding the arrow elements to my "Love" word art!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I also have a video with a tutorial on how to use the <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/scanncut/" target="_blank">ScanNCut</a> to design this card.</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, honestly, this is my first digital cutting file I've designed, so if it doesn't work for you, I apologize and promise to figure it out and fix it! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope you enjoy this cutting file and please share where you got it if you do create with it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Winter layouts are almost becoming a thing of the past for me. That's because my teenagers don't really go outside much in the winter anymore. If they do, it's only to take a bunch of goofy selfies. ha ha! Luckily, BabyOfTheFamily agreed to some pics a couple months ago. I LOVE winter photos!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For my frosty layouts, I often use <a href="http://www.bobunny.com/">Bo Bunny</a>, and each winter I'm excited about seeing their new papers. I just love the colours and patterns in the Woodland Winter collection:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Every season I say how much I don't like winter, but I love creating winter layouts! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope you have a chance to design a layout for <a href="http://www.canadianscrapbooker.ca/sketchy/">Canadian Scrapbooker's Sketchy Challenge</a>! In a few more days, the February sketch will be posted. Click <a href="http://www.canadianscrapbooker.ca/sketchy/">HERE</a> to visit the Sketchy Gallery and be inspired!</span><br />

I've come to a few realizations and thought I'd share them today. In fact, I will be sharing more of myself on my blog than I usually do. I love to write, so I plan on expressing a little more "me" in my words. Hopefully, we'll have a few laughs along the way!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">So, this year...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">I will make more time to play and experiment.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I outlined the title with my <a href="http://www.americancrafts.com/">American Crafts</a> white Galaxy marker to make it stand out more on this cool piece of chalkboard patterned paper and added some stitching with red embroidery thread.</span><br />

I just love 3D elements on cards and like to create my own. Here is a card I designed for <a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/blog/2013/11/30/a-christmas-wreath-card/">Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L</a> using the pretty "bow" designer shape from their new "3D Foam Christmas Mix" set. </span><br />

Ha ha. That is how the magazine industry rolls. Everything is planned waaaaay ahead. While working on my Christmas cards and crafts, my creative mind is also thinking about Spring and Summer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is my new sample layout…</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6uM_itKT-dEJO8zBsP8wmfWQ7VJQ-WIP4uaTlmQA2GXXxWIfzJ68cjHtqKcwZ8vhVEnsdv7umSRkoE8Q6syW7khBKMNsbpcRnZAnlYuksFLKHn8PJzT9iRfMLcqb5GSD4Cciyj22fgc8s/s1600/blog+double+fun+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6uM_itKT-dEJO8zBsP8wmfWQ7VJQ-WIP4uaTlmQA2GXXxWIfzJ68cjHtqKcwZ8vhVEnsdv7umSRkoE8Q6syW7khBKMNsbpcRnZAnlYuksFLKHn8PJzT9iRfMLcqb5GSD4Cciyj22fgc8s/s640/blog+double+fun+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After weeks of harassing my teenagers, I finally wrangled them together for our annual fall photo shoot. Ok, so the picture snapping only lasted 4 minutes just before our Thanksgiving dinner last month, but this is better than nothing! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is my new sketch, which I hope you'll try using for one of your layouts…</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I used the gorgeous <a href="http://www.dcwv.com/">DCWV</a> "Industrial Chic" Stack which is full of deep, rich patterns and colours, perfect for fall, vintage, masculine and so on.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Plus, the larger photo in the centre has a burlap mat, from the DCWV Burlap Stack. I love the texture that it brings to the layout.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Some close-ups…</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The small black type alphabet stickers are Glitz Design and the heart and 'ticket' and key are all cut from the patterned DCWV papers. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The hearts are just cut freehand from that red paper, and I inked the edges with Clearsnap black chalk ink.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My journaling tag is cut from the DCWV paper as well. Then I punched two holes at the top corners and wrapped my twine through.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The bottom border of the layout has a May Arts twill ribbon running across. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have just started working with the new <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/scanNcut/#.UpTWPaUSP8t">Brother ScanNCut Machine</a> and have designed this Christmas card:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I used <a href="http://www.coredinations.com/">Core'dinations Colorcore card stock</a> for the wreath and "Noel" and the card base with patterned papers are from <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/">Graphic 45</a>'s new Christmas Collection "Twelve Days of Christmas."</span><br />

To be honest, I only create a handful for a few special people and actually snail mail about 80 more store-bought ones with our family photo and annual Christmas letter. Yes, I have a big family!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is one card I designed using some wonderful <a href="http://www.sizzix.com/">Sizzix</a> products:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">After a ridiculous amount of begging and crying (and exaggerating), I finally got DramaQueen outside for her Fall photos. Does she like them? Probably not. Honestly, I avoid showing her my layouts because she usually hates all of the photos I choose. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have to tell you, those circles in the background confounded me for awhile…until I looked through my <a href="http://www.dcwv.com/">DCWV</a> "Cinnamon Luster" Stack:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I knew the colours and patterns in this stack would be perfect for these pics of DQ. And then I added a few cut-out embellishments from the <a href="http://www.dcwv.com/">DCWV</a> "Industrial "Chic" Stack. These stacks make designing layouts so quick and easy, with all the matching papers in one big handy pack.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you love your <a href="http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/Home.aspx">Spellbinders</a> and die cuts, then this is one set you must have!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've been having a wonderful time designing classes using <a href="http://www.kaisercraft.com.au/newsite/collections.php?col=108">Kaisercraft</a> paper and products. Here is my latest creation, a 12" X 12" Christmas photo display frame:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are some fun techniques involved….like the 3D metallic heart, the frosted glass window and the doily tree.</span><br />

I have the opportunity to work with a huge variety of manufacturers' product and, of course, the best adhesives around. With the new release of <a href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/t/categories/3d-foam-products">3D Foam Designer Shapes</a>, I've been having fun creating projects and here is a card featuring three of the shapes: a 3D Frame, Star and some Trees.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are lots of ways to alter the foam shapes, and I used glitter and embossing powder.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've been itching to use these wonderful <a href="http://www.simplestories.typepad.com/">Simple Stories</a> papers as soon as I saw them.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I added stitching to the edges of my banners to make them pop a bit.</span><br />
