Happy New Year!!!

Hello everyone!!!!

Hope you all are getting ready to welcome the Year 2016!!!
2015 was great so far...looking forward to a fabulous 2016...

Today I have New Year Party decoration to share with you all!!!

A Banner!!!

 I used SEI Banner kit for this project.

The papers are from  my all favorite Kraft Classic 12 x12 pad and Kraft Basics 12 x12 pad.

I love kraft and black combo, this works perfectly with the corrugated banner pieces.

 I used my Silhouette cameo to the cut the letters & numbers.

Simply attached the letters to the ribbon using hot glue.

Then threaded the banner pieces with the natural twine from the banner kit. Punched some stars using kraft & gold foiled paper, then adhered the star as the filler to my banner.

The banner is super sparkly and bight in real.

Here is a closeup view of the banner pieces..

I sprayed the fish tail banners with Gold Tumble Dye spray..it leaves a sparkly glitter shine after it dries!

Then added fun diecut gold foiled stars. I used a die for this.

Love the SEI foiled cardstocks ... they cut like butter.

Finally added 2016  numbers on it.

This banner is for the following challenges...

Make My Monday - New Year.

UnstampaBelles - Sparkle.

Craft Your Passion -  Anything goes.

The banner looks super fun on the silver glittered background... perfect thing to welcome NEW Year 2016!!

Hope you all have a great year ahead!!!

Leading Lady- Take Four!

Hello & Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Its time for Take Four of  being Winnie & Walter .Leading lady of this month!

Sadly all good things must come to an end, so I'm sharing my last post as the leading Lady over at Winnie & Walter blog.

Today , my post is all about Holiday Memory keeping...

I'm sharing two Scrapbook layouts!

Here is one about my younger fur baby's 1st Christmas..

 Meet TWIX, my puppy ...he turns 1 in Jan, so this was his 1st Christmas.

He was such a good sport by letting mommy take few pictures of him, unfortunately my other puppy KOKO didn't allow me to get a single photo.

 This is more of a CAS layout...

I created the soft inked sponged background using Scenery: Do you see what I see? creative screenings.

I used my favorite True Multifaceted Star Cutaways for this layout...layered it for texture and fun!!

I used several word stickers from Doodlebug too.

 I also stamped Comfort+Joy sentiment from  Comfort + Joy set.

Added few border diecuts created using a die from Essentials: Noelle Cutaways.

For the title I used In a word: Merry cutaway....added three layers of the it for fun!!

To complete my title I stamped sentiment is from Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs set., I double stamped it to add movement.

Here is a peek of the other layout... please visit Winnie & Walter Blog for the full reveal.

I have to create few more layouts of this holiday season....very soon I will share it on my blog.

Hope you liked these layouts and use your stamping supplies for scrapbooking too.

 The Doodlebug Sports collection are simply amazing ...it makes creating layouts a breeze!

My younger plays Basketball, here is a layout of her first game of this season.

 I wanted to use tree photos so I went with a simple layout, with a cluster of embellishment.

Added a little dimension by using foam stickers to pop up the stickers from the sticker sheet .

She is the #6 player so added the #6 in the center of the big sticker.

I added lots of  Tangerine sprinkles  and few Beetle Black & Lily White Sprinkles.

I also used the star sprinkles .
