Joy | Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday

Our first Scraplift Sunday challenge at Paper Issues came out today. Here's a page I made for my friend:

Here's Jacqie's beautiful layout we scraplifted:

I used Crate Paper's Snowflake collection on my layout. I used a stencil with texture paste to create the background. I've run out of white cardstock, so I used a warm gray paper. I always add a heart on each layout I make for people, and I added a gold puffy heart to the chipboard Christmas tree.

The gold foiling on the chipboard and stickers is so pretty in this collection! 

How beautiful are those pine needles? it's a free cut file from Paper Issues called Pines and Needles. Remember when pearls used to be all the rage--before enamel dots came around. I still think they are perfect accents on certain pages.

Here's a look at the cut file I used:

Christmas Angel | Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday

I always love playing with the Scraplift Sunday challenges at Paper Issues, and here's a page I just created:

And here's Mary-Ann's beautiful layout I lifted:

Here are some details. I used Crate Paper's beautiful Snowflake collection, along with a few things from my stash, like the American Crafts bow and the glittery poinsettias that I bought from Michael's. And of course I was able to find just the right color letter stickers in my stash because I have every single BasicGrey letter sticker set, I think. I love the font.

All the stars and foliage were fussy cut from Snowflake patterned papers. I finally tried my Nuvo drops. I used white and gold. I need to get more colors. These things are so cool!

I strayed a little from Mary-Ann's design by adding a little bit of embellishing at the top.
