December Days Mini Album with Carrie!

Hi Crafty Friends!
  Today, designer Carrie Bryant, is showing off her December mini album. Totally adorable! Check it out!

Today I am going to share with you the start of my December Days album.  This year I have decided to document December Weekly instead of daily.  I am a bit behind…. go figure.

This is my album cover.  I covered a 6×8 Snap binder from Simple Stories
with some paper from Heidi Swapp’s Believe collection.  I love this
paper line, I bought a lot of it last year so I chose to use it for most
of this album.  I also sprayed a Heidi wood veneer word “together” with
some gold Color Shine.



Using my custom flair from TheCraftyPickle really helps to make this a special keepsake.
 

 Week 1 – My husband Bill and I spent a 4 day weekend in
NYC.  We had a wonderful time, just the two of us. The city really was
all dressed up for Christmas. 
To document each Week, again I used some custom CraftyPickle flair.   I also used the great Arrow set   and some Holiday sequins to embellish my pages.

  Week 2 – We went to Wickerd Farms to pick a fresh Christmas Tree.  More pages to follow soon….

I really love that Taniesa will create any design just for You!
Thanks for stopping by today.  
 
Merry Christmas to you and yours. 
Happy Scrappin’

Ornaments with Flair!

 Two posts in one day? Yep! I couldn’t wait to share designer, Carrie’s, Ornaments she created with some TCP Custom glitter flair. Take a look!!
Today I wanted to share with you a project I created for my Bunco Group. 
I started with some unfinished laser cut star ornaments. Next I sprayed them with my Tinsel Color Shine by Heidi Swapp.  This gave them a pretty silver metal finish. I then attached my custom flair from TheCraftyPickle and finished them off with some beautiful red ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by today.  If you would like to order some custom flairs it’s super easy, contact Taniesa from TheCraftyPickle and she will make you something beautiful.

Happy December!

Hi Crafty Friends!
  We’re kicking off December with a few cute ideas from designer, Carrie Bryant! Take a look!!! 
 
Happy December first….. can you believe it?  I would like to kick the
day off right by sharing my first Christmas project of the season.  I
started making a few Christmas tags.  I will add these to some Special
gifts this year.
I decided to use some of my leftover scrap goodies from last years December Daily project. I used some scrap paper to cut big tags with my Sizzix Big Shot. I Gathered some scrap ribbon and used
my extra CraftyPickle flairs from last year, these are the perfect embellishment on my tags. 

 

I also added some beautiful Holiday Sequins that are new in TheCraftyPickle shop  now

 

This was a quick and fun project to get me in the Holiday crafting mood.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope this encourages you to start your Holiday crafting. 



Till next time. 

Happy Scrappin’

Happy Thanksgiving: Card by Carrie Bryant

Hi Carrie here to share with you a Thanksgiving card I made for my In-laws.

I created this card using the Thankful Heart stamp set from CTMH.  I love that I could use my watercolors to bring the fall colors of the leaves to life in this set. The sentiment is perfect for Thanksgiving too.

I am in love with the Sweater Weather collection by Simple Stories.
I think this great stamp set coordinates perfectly with this collection.  The fall mix sequins from TheCraftyPickle are a perfect accent to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I wish you and yours a Blessed Holiday season filled with Thankful hearts.

Carrie

 

Thanks Carrie, I just love that stamp set and your card is just adorable!

Make sure to stop by this Monday for our FIRST blog hop and of course lots of prizes!

Have a great weekend everyone!

My name is Carrie Bryant I have been a traditional scrapbooker for around 20 years. I love all things handmade. I especially like stamping and creating my own greeting and pocket cards. I am blessed to be a stay at home wife and mother. I have been married 23 years and have two teenagers. I also have three dogs. I live in sunny Southern California.

I am a creative scrapper, I love layering and adding a bit of embellishment to all my layouts, I rarely ever just slide a photo into the pocket. I am also blessed to
have my own scrapbook studio. I love my space, it’s very roomy. This does not however keep me from creating a huge mess. LOL. But being creative is messy and I am very creative.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Crafty Friends!

Today, design team member Carrie Bryant is sharing this cute little “Insta” Chipboard album she created for Halloween.

Here is how she did it!

First off, I cut down some unfinished chipboard to 4×4 and covered each page with some cute MME Halloween papers I had in my stash.

I love this cute Spider Web Flair from The Crafty Pickle

Each page is embellished and has room for a small photo or journal spot.

This may be my favorite page, I created a shaker box and fished it off with another adorable TCP flair

On this page I added a 3×4 PL card I created for a Halloween Swap.

This is a really easy way to preserve the memories from your Halloween fun.

This is that back of my album. I used Jump rings to bind my album and added fun ribbons to finish it off.

Thanks so much Carrie, for sharing your adorable project!

Check out more in the Crafty Pickle Etsy Shop for more fun flair!

Have a fun and safe Halloween!
