Scraptastic Dec Layouts 2 & 3

Hey y'all,

It feels like it's been forever since I posted.  But I did go a little MIA finishing up my handful of Christmas cards and envelopes.  It all didn't look as uniformed as I planned, but I ran out of time... :) Oh well

Anywho, even though it's only or already the 20th, depending on how ready you are for Christmas, I'm kind of over it.  Does that make me a bad person?? I feel like Christmas has been surrounding me for months now, and it's been great but I'm done.  hahaha, I don't know, don't hate me, I'm not a total Scrooge.  So I've created a couple of layouts using my Scraptastic Heartbeats kit for this month. 

Check them out, please leave a comment!

Scraptastic December - Heartbeats -Layout #1!! #WHATWHAT

Hey ya'll,

So it feels like it's been F-O-R-E-V-E-R and a DAY since I've done a scrapbook layout.  I was kind of on a Christmas card kick, and even through that my creativity has been a really slow drip lately.  I'm not sure if I'm putting to much pressure on myself or what.  But ugh, it has been torturous lately, I get a fuzzy idea in my head, and I sit at my desk, and I just can't get it from my head to the paper, it like's a dream that you can't quite remember when you wake up, and the harder you try the more illusive it is.

Anywho, I had these adorable photos of my son from like 3 years ago, and I'm not really into doing Halloween or themed layouts altogether, so I decided to just do what I like. Check it out!  The ingredients are listed below.

Last couple of Christmas cards!!

Hey yall, so here's the last couple of cards I've made with my Simon Says Stamp kit combination.  I'm making some envelopes and throwing theses in the mail today. 

More Christmas Cards!!

Hey y'all

So, I have had a crafting blockage for the past few days, but I had a little of a break through this evening (YAY!).  It's so funny or weird whichever, some times when I want to make a card and I think I feel creative, I sit down at my desk and it's... NOTHIN' :)   I mean I can't even pick papers that seem to coordinate.
And other days I can crank out like 3 or 4 cards in a flash.  I don't know maybe someone can clue me in, I usually don't have a problem, planning and setting a goal, my family makes fun of how many lists I create, but when it comes to crafting I cannot seem to control the flow, IDK

So, check out what I created tonight, and let me know what you think ;)

Christmas Cards!!!

Hey y'all,

Hope all are well, and getting ready for the holiday season, I just wanted to share some Christmas cards I made.  I don't traditionally make and send out Christmas cards, because it just too much pressure.  And I've learned about myself the more pressured I am, the less creative I am...(#weird :)

Anywho, I have received my Simon Says Stamp card kit, and November & December were for Christmas related, and then (because I have a shopping problem and SSS knows this I'm sure, they put on sale I bought) a 3rd Christmas themed card kit, it wasn't part of the monthly, but fabulous all the same!

So, I've put all three kits together and just made cards as I feel it, I'll be posting more over the next few days.  This isn't like a challenge or anything, just felt the creativity and let it flow as best as I can.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think :)


The first two are shaker cards!
