This month’s technique was embossing…old school! Back to the basics.

This card was actually quite cool. We embossed the butterfly using “chips” of embossing powder.

You take embossing powder and pour it onto a baking sheet covered in foil than bake at 350F for about 3 minutes, than take it out of the oven and let it cool a bit than break it into chunks and put it into a bag. When you are ready to emboss something you just apply the pieces randomly on your chipboard and melt with the embossing gun, the bigger chunks of “chips” seem to work better, than when you are done melting you take a stamp and push it onto the chipboard…voila…very cool!

Cute Valentine’s card with some gold flecks in it.

I altered the index cards with cardstock and embellishments, some of them were very simple because the paper was nice all on it’s own, I decorated the front of the cover, I dated the spine and I used the recipe cards for my journalling, I just turned them over!

This is the first album and I fit 12 years of Christmas holidays in it, this Christmas I will start the new one.

I just love how this all came together and now all my Christmas holidays are scrapbooked! Easy peasy…right???!!!`

I think it turned out great and it’s so easy to make.

I used a tutorial found here at Sarah’s Ink Spot.

I spent the afternoon today at my friend’s house making Sour Cream Christmas Favors for the dinner table on Christmas Day.

We always make something cute and yummy for the table for everyone.

These are so simple to make and have been around for a very long time.

Now they will be stuffed with yummy goodness, sealed and we made a cute tag with some twine to put on top.

I made this card quickly at my scrapbooking retreat weekend 2 weekends ago.

I borrowed the punch…which I love! and I also borrowed the stamp…oh and the button and the twine!!! LOL. Thanks Rhea and Lynnette!!!

I picked up some of this cool paper at Scrapbooker’s Paradise Red Deer on the way out of town.

The first card was made using watercolor wonder crayons and random stamping.

The second card was actually a technique using bubble solution and re-inkers and blowing the liquid onto your cardstock…you can’t see it very well in my pic, it’s very subtle but, it’s a cool technique.

The third card was just fun! A cool wintery scene. There is a reindeer on the right side but, I embossed with Vanilla instead of White!!!

Tuesday night I went to my 3rd Card Buffet at Terry’s house.

I made 4 each of these 2 cards. Love, LOVE snowflakes!
