I was asked to be the guest designer for my friend Kim's monthly kit club, Express the Moment! Express the Moment is a monthly kit club that feature 3 kits: scrapbooking, cards, and recipes! Kim also offers local pick up in Idaho Falls, so you can just order your kit online, and pick up when you do your shopping "out below" :)
{that saying did always drive me crazy when I would hear it!}
Here are my projects, using product from the December kit! Lots of vintage Christmas goodies!
Waiting for Santa...
I love how this page turned out, I love the colors of course!
Layer die cuts, and embellishments...
After punching out paper die cuts, I always scrape the edge with some old scissors, and ink the edges with distress ink, so that it looks more finished...and gets rid of those bits of paper, from punching it out.
Oh Deer...
I just happened to find the perfect photos to use with the scalloped die cut with the cute little reindeer on it! These were taken in December of 2005, on the Teton Pass, wish I could remember why I was going to Jackson?
I also like to add chipboard behind diecuts to give it some depth...so the page isn't so flat looking :)
I wonder if my journaling should be white-tailed deer, or just white tail? Hmmm...
All I want for Christmas...
Just a few things on my list... lol, if we actually bought Christmas gifts for each other! We stopped doing that years ago, because we always buy whatever we want ourselves, it's hard to shop for both of us, so what's the point in buying things any more? I do however really want a new lens for my camera, don't know that I will get it for Christmas, but soon enough, I will get it :)
Gulianna and Santa...
Lots of fun patterns on this page, one tip to share, is that I actually cut 5 inches off my patterned paper {background} because I knew it would just be covered by the red polka dot strip of paper, that way I could still use the back of it, which is the cute multi colored polka dot strip used underneath the buttons.
Every time I would step away from working on these layouts, Isabella had to sneak over and grab my brown zig writer...I see some evidence on the title :)
Buttons! Buttons! You always have so many, I often find myself sorting through them, and saying, oh I can't use that one, and that one and that one, because they are too cute, that must be where the phrase "cute as a button" comes from, ha ha! But there comes a time where you just need to use them! Here I lined them up on my page, another cute idea would be to make a Christmas card and form the buttons into a Christmas tree, so simple and fun!
Framed Home Decor...
When I first saw this paper from the kit, I knew right away that I was going to just frame it! Subway art is such a huge trend right now, and this is perfect for holiday decor! I just used my favorite 12x12 frame from K&Company, I've had it for years now, actually I have two :)
Patterned paper is so fun to just trim and put in a frame, with so much out there, you are sure to find some to match your home decor. Make a collage on your wall or shelf, and combine with some of your favorite family pictures.
I do have to say that when I took my other frames and signs off this shelf...the star flipped over, knocking my letter K down which then grabbed my camera along off the hutch and ended on the floor. The K broke, and I tried to glue it together but it won't hold. My camera is fine, luckily...just my luck though, everything tumbling down!

I loVE February...mostly because there are only 28 days, even though it's still only 2-3 days shorter than a full month, technically it's a 2 week month, which goes by so fast. And one month closer to summer :)
This month always seems to fly by, I guess as most days and months do anymore. I wanted to do something fun, since last year I missed out on all the fun holidays...I was super sick all winter long. {I bet I had the worst case of the swine flu, but I'll never know, because I didn't go to the doctor, okay I did go in one time, but that was after the worst of it}
I love Valentine's...mostly because of all the chocolate, Valentines, and fun stuff, people being happy and spreading the love for one day, really it should be like that everyday. I would say roses & flowers and such but I'm not big on flowers, they die anyway because I forget to water them. But I do love Gerber Daisies! I remember when I was little, and I got to pick out which Valentine's I wanted to give out, and I would carefully read each one to make sure I signed it and gave it to the appropriate person...I didn't want to send out any wrong messages, lol!
And I love pink & red! So I will be sharing something for every day of the month of February, all things pink + red! I don't even really know what I'll be sharing, just going with each day!
So come back and check daily for some fun inspiration! And I am still catching up on some posts, so they will be here and there...
Also...I think it's time for another 'blurker' roll call...because I know you are lookin'...so what's stopping you from saying hi ♥... so let me know that you are here and leave a comment :)
I will send something fun that's pink + red to the 14th person!
I would love to win this! It is beautiful!
And what's even more fun is that Amy, from the cutest Quilt Shoppe ever, designed both lines!
I miss going in there for inspiration! She just recently moved The Quilt Shoppe from Rigby to Idaho Falls, so if you are in the area, check it out, she carries the cutest designer fabrics ever!
you were the closest guess! I will drop off your {scrapbook} goodies to you! We will be moving to 'Clementsville' ...got that? More details later...
Now I have to get back to loading up the trailer. Apparently Levi didn't tell me we were actually moving out by this Monday...this is fun. I thought we had till the 14th...
c.ya :)
