This is the second card I started with my mom and finished the day after!!

All the patterned papers came from the Close to my Heart: Moonlight Paper Pack and the cardstock is Bazzill Spring Willow Medium cardstock.

The orange rhinestones are from KaiserCraft. 

I used CTMH's Backdrop-Charmed, Spellbound Cricut Workshop Holidays & So Grateful stamp sets with CTMH Autumn Terracotta, Sweet Leaf & Smokey Plum Ink. 

There is still space available at our Charity Stamping Pajama Party. For more information, please go to  DAT'S Scrapbooking's blog or email my mom, Donna at ddigby@shaw.ca.

Christmas Music Card



Today mom & I spent the afternoon scrapbooking/card making. I made this card and almost completed another card before supper.

All the patterned papers came from Authentique's Collection: Festive 6 x 6 Bundle Paper Pack and the cardstock is Bazzill. Due to the flood, mom & I don't have our Bazzill swatch book to know which brown cardstock I used.

The buttons, twine & wraphia is from my stash, the beads are from Unique Crafts on Prospect Avenue and I used an EK Success border punch on the inside.

I used CTMH's Christmas Love & Sweet Music stamp sets with CTMH Black Ink. To distress the edges I used CTMH Holiday Red & Olive inks.

Don't forget about our....
