Hello, crafty friends! This is Karen from
Kaleidoscopic Sparkles with a sparkly project to share with you! It's a first for me... a double layout for scrapbooking! :o)
I've had it on my sappy heart to squeeze in some time for preserving special memories. It was hard for me (the challenge of NEW), but I had such a blast and it was fun incorporating Kimberly's goodies into such a large design.
Note: I promise my layouts are both 12x12 and even! I did not realize I had the camera angled. Lesson learned! :o)
My first scrapbooking project is for the memories my sweetheart and I will make this upcoming holiday season, so I was guided by my whimsical side.
This album starts with a wintry backdrop, with the beginning touches of Christmas cheer sprinkled throughout.
My little village scene, comprised of the cafe, two cutie pies, and title, are cut files from Treasure Box Designs. This Cocoa Cafe cut file came with a blank regular sign, which to me means tiny doily fun instead! :o) The "Friendship Warms the Heart" sentiment is from
Stamping All Around Christmas. I cut it out and layered with the coordinating
Tiny Doilies and
Tiny Doilies 2 metal dies. The snow and whipped cream are embossed, but sadly is washed out in the pictures. (We agreed we want to live in this sweet cafe!)
I forgot to take one particular picture! I adhered these photo mats as pockets, with two journaling tags nestled behind them. The 'pulls' for my tags were created with the
Ornate Labels metal dies. The stamped border and sentiments are from
Ornate Labels-Christmas, as is the heat-embossed scrolling snowflake border.
The other side has a larger mat for an extra special photograph. To pair with the sweetness of the Cocoa Cafe, I fussy-cut lollipops and used one of my favorite of Kimberly's products: the
Jar Basics metal dies!
I made a mason jar filled with holiday treats. :o) My sentiment is from
Tiny Tags 3, which is cut out with the coordinating
Tiny Tags metal dies. I used the same beautiful
traditional twine throughout my double layout.
