Christmas Cheer

I'm sneaking in a holiday card made with the Pretty Little Studio Comfort and Joy Collection. Any time I can get a holiday card made ahead of time it's a score for me! I know that when November rolls around that I'll be scrambling to get it all done.

The Comfort and Joy Collection is a feast for the eyes! You'll love the pretty dried flowers, pine branches, berries, roses and birds that make beautiful bouquets on paper.

This collection has all the extras too.. faux stitch clear stickers, cut aparts, die cut scallop borders, frames, tabs and lots lots more!
I really love the paper choices. The "Ledger" paper is a game changer because each sheet has several patterns printed on it so it looks pieced together by you and it's just printed that way.

I hope you take a look at the different collections available from Pretty Little Studio. If you love pattern paper like me, you're sure to find a new favorite there.

My Creative Scrapbook Main Kit September 2025



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Simple Stories "Book Fair" Collection as well as a few others to surprise you. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, chipboard, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
This month we're going back to school with fun paper prints that include schedules, test papers, penmanship lines, paper airplanes, composition notebook cover, fun stripes and lots more.
  
The images are super cute.. books, calculators, pens, pencils.. all the basic back to school supplies with some stars, clips, and wise owls too!
I arrange the images on clear plastic sheets the size of my card front. This gives me a preview of what the finished card will look like before I commit and adhere everything in place. I can also slide pattern paper under the arrangement to see if my choices work well together.
The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, and adhesives. This time my kit included some sequins in red and clear that you'll see scattered throughout my designs.
I'm a card maker, but you can use the kit to document your memories on scrapbook pages too. I think these cards will be great to encourage students and to thank teachers this school year.
I had lots of fun playing with the images and papers and I think you will too. The cards came together quick and I really love that they're delivered straight to my front door so no shopping required. Sometimes it's hard to find all the coordinating elements at one Shoppe.
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

To A Sweet Little Lady

Today I'm playing at A Cut Above where it's always about the die cuts and this month it's ANYTHING GOES so there's no excuse not to play along!

I'm really starting to feel that fall is in the air lately. The leaves are starting to fall from the cottonwood trees and the bees are extra aggressive searching out sweets. The nights are getting colder and I'm not ready to let go of the sunshine. It makes you stop and appreciate the good days even more.

So may card features lots of pretty layered flowers and a few ladybugs to boot! My husband always surprises me with a few flowers from our yard in a vase in a spot I can find them in the morning.

I added a frame made with Notched Corners and the Jar with Lids and Labels, Ladybug and Spring Flowers are all from Pink & Main.
I hope you still have some sunshine and flowers to enjoy! Have a great day!
