Simple Stories Beautiful Album

Welcome back to the blog everyone!  It's Traci and I'm back to share a new Sn@p project I've been working on.  I just love black and white photos and when I saw the Beautiful collection, I knew it would work perfectly with some of my favorite family photos.


Although the photo above doesn't show it well, there is a really pretty touch of metallic gold in the collection.  The bow on the 3x4 accent paper, and the word "amazing" on the chipboard piece at the bottom are gold ... so pretty!





Thank you for letting me share my latest Sn@p album with you!  Check out the entire "Beautiful" collection here.

Christmas Ornament - Nov Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hi friends!  It's time for Lori Whitlock's November Blog Hop and I'm excited to be joining the entire creative team to share some fun projects with you!  My blog is the first stop on the hop, so be sure to hop back over to Lori's site too, because she has more great projects for you!

Today, I'm sharing a set of Christmas ornaments that I made. I found some round plastic ornaments at Michael's that open. They have a clear piece of circular acrylic in the center for a photo or embellishment.  
 

I cut out two 3" circles from silver glitter paper, adhered them to the front and back of the acrylic center of the ornament, and then added Lori's beautiful Nativity circle to each side.

I wanted to be sure the design is shown on both sides when the ornament spins around.

I really love the 3 designs. So pretty!

All three designs come in a bundle, or are sold separately in Lori's shop here. Hope you give these pretty ornament ideas a try!

Sweet Treats Party with Doodlebug

Hello everyone! Today, I'm super excited to share my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. I have some cute and fun ideas for a Sweet Treats Exchange party. Think cookie swap, but with any and all kinds of sweet treats. Yummy!
 
Cookie Swap Exchange Party Decorations & Invitation

First, every party needs an invitation. For mine, I used gingham and linen pattern papers for the base, in ladybug and grasshopper. Then created a print & cut using Doodlebug's Jar of Hearts design with my silhouette machine. The font is by Lori Whitlock and is called LW cutie pie. (Product & cut file links below.)

Next, I created some cupcake wrappers and toppers. I punched out scallop circles from Milk and Cookies pattern paper, layered them white card stock circles and Icon stickers, and attached them to Doodlebug pixie sticks

I cut the cupcake wrapper out with another Silhouette design (link below).

For my little signs, I used the Cutie pie font to print the words, cut the card stock to 2.5" x 4" and embellished each one with icon stickers and a few Doodle-pops. Each sign is matted with merry berries pattern paper.

Finally, my banner is just 4x4 and 4x6 cards from the Milk and Cookies and Cream and Sugar collections. I matted them with card stock, punched holes in the corners, and added ladybug chunky twine.

Thank you for letting me share a few party ideas with you today! 

Update: Below are the links for the cutting files and since The Milk and Cookies collection is sold out, I've added some great Doodlebug substitutes!
