I believe in Santa

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day, I had a great time with my family, my son came from PR to spend these day with us and I'm so happy.
Today I share with you two pages that I made using the beautiful Christmas range from 2Crafty Chipboards and the new collection "A Gift For You by Maja Design. My first page is a lovely memory when my kids are little, they love to see what Santa brought them.

I gave a heavy coat of gesso to the chippies and after they had dried I applied white Stickels to them.

I added around my photo some "Christmas Assortment"chippies that I firstly, Coated in gesso.  Next up I painted with red distress ink and third I applied Stickles.

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are fine. I've been missing in action  but I haven't felt well lately and it's hard for me to be active in social media and my blog when I'm sick, it's horrible feeling sick, right? I continued making my Design Teams assignments and today I will share with you some of my recent projects so  if you have time check my others blog post.

I made this card using the new beautiful Christmas collection by Maja Design "A Gift For You".  I chose the "Made by Me" for my base card paper and I cut out some tags, illustration and cards from "Santa With love paper".

 "A Gift for You" 

I love this Santa's image from the "From Santa With Love" paper and I added some textures with stencil and molding paste.

 Peace, Love & Joy

I selected the hearts paper side to design my card, love the idea to mix hearts in a Christmas card. I added some tiny hearts and the word circle chippies by 2Crafty Chipboards.

I made both card using the "Send with Love" paper, love the beige, red, brown tones.
