Songs of Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to the Songs of Christmas Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends!  You should have arrived here from Christa's blog.

Our Blog Hop is all about the Songs of Christmas and the inspiration for my project comes from the song Frosty The Snowman.

For my project I decided to base it off of the adorable little snowman Frosty. We haven't had a bunch of snow yet this year but I really like the look of snowmen. 

I created this elegant tag to go along with the theme. I stamped on my background of the tag and added some white mist to give it some texture. 

Then with my Copic markers I colour the adorable little snowman and the Christmas tree. 

To finish off the tag I stamped my sentiment and added some stickles to add some glitter.

I had a bunch of fun creating this cute little tag and hopefully this will inspire you to take out some winter photos or paper and get creating!

Christmas Cards and Tags

As I mentioned in my previous post I was in a craft show at my church and had to come up with some new Christmas cards and tags.Below are some of the cards I created with some inspiration from Pinterest.

This card was  done on the Cameo. Those candy canes are so cute.

Again this card was done on the Cameo. This is one of the designs found in Silhouette.

The following tags are made with Close To My Heart stamps, and a stamp and die cut set.Love that little snowman set.

Lap Quilt

This is that last of the Rag Quilts that I had fabric for. From all for the quilts that I made I think this one is my favorite. Below is the fabric selection that I chose.

This is the finished quilt.

Thanks for looking.

It has been quite awhile since I posted anything on my blog.It took a craft show being held at my church to get me going again. I had signed up for this craft event a year ago so I had to get creative again. Below you will find some cards that I made using the Cuttelbug, Embossing Folders, Embossing powder and stamps that I have had for years.Thanks to Pinterest for the inspiration. I have designed each card with my own twist. Thanks for looking

To My Husband

 Should You Go First

Should you go first and I remain,
To walk the road alone,
I'll live in memory's garden dear.
With happy days we've known.
In Spring I'll wait for roses red,
When fades the lilac blue,
In early Fall when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain,
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,
Though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
Will buoy me on with hope.

Should you go first and I remain,
To finish with the scroll,
No lengthning shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem droll.
We've known so much happiness,
We've had our cup of joy,
And memory is one gift of God
Tha death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain,
One thing I'd have you do:
Walk slowly down that long, lone path,
For soon I'll follow you.
I'll want to know each step you take
That I may walk the same,
For some day down that lonely road
You'll hear me call your name.

Second Lap top Quilt from Adornitt-CHA

Below is the second and final lap top quilt from fabric I purchased at CHA California.I wonder where my next destination trip will be so I can purchase some more unique fabric.

Below is a close up of this 50" x 70" quilt.

The photo below is fabric for the next one that I purchased at The Quilt Place in Shakespeare Ont.

I did a Shop Hop of four fabric stores in our area.Some of these I didn't know excisted. One was at The Quilt Place in Shakespeare, Ye Olde Fabric Shoppe in Stratford, Creative Sisters Kitchener and Reichard's in St. Jacobs. We also have many more top quality fabric stores in our area. It is well worth a day trip to this area for quilting supplies.While you are here you can always visit your favourite scrapbook store as well. Two scrapbook Friends in Waterloo.

Thanks for peaking.
