Here's my tag using Trendy Christmas Trees & their coordinating dies  along with ARTplorations Bubbles Mini Stencil.   

I started with 2 #8 Manilla tags which I painted with Distress Paints in Mermaid Lagoon and Weathered Wood and spritzed with water for blending. I then stamped some mini trees from the  Trendy Christmas Trees set with Black archival ink. I then created my "Snowy Hill" by cutting out a Hilltop and using Faber Castell Micro Bead Gel thru the  ARTplorations Bubbles Mini Stencil. I embossed some snowflakes from the set with white embossing powder and stamped my sentiment with Black Archival Ink. 

I then stamped my Christmas trees onto Recollections Design Paper and using the Trendy Trees Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I then topped the main tree with a TH Star Embellie.  Some blue/white twine finished off my Christmas Scene. :o)

Keep on Hoppin' and if you get lost along the way, go back to STAMPlorations TAGplorations Hop Post. 

Joggles~ Sticky Snippets Pocket Page

Good morning crafty friends! I'm back to share with you a Journal Pocket Page I made for 

Joggles Design Team!

The pockets I created can hold 3 small tag and 2 #8 tags. :o)

I used the Joggles Sticky Snippets™ - Large Circles, Joggles Sticky Snippets™ - Medium Circles, Joggles Sticky Snippets™ - Medium Circles, Joggles Sticky Snippets™ - Mini Circles. 

Joggles Sticky Snippets are the perfect mixed media blank canvas, accepting many types of media including paints, ink sprays, glimmer sprays, acrylic inks, glitter paste, and even light coats of gels and mediums. I had a lot of fun creating this Pocket Page journal layout and hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks for stopping' by, I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty today.

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' card I made for Two Paper Divas  using the newly released Splatters. 

Such a fun and versatile set!

Sigh, I love it when something so simple comes together. hehehe

I used Memento Rose Bud and Angel Pinks for the larger splatters and then went over with Ranger Cool Graphite Ink with the splatter dots. I added the sentiment from the Be Stamp set as I thought it went well with the Splatters.:o) Finished with some twine underneath and Done! lol!
