Merry Christmas

Twelve Drummers Drumming

Here's the last one. I wanted to make sure I had all twelve days done as I will be unable to post for a couple of weeks as I will be spending the time with family. I again used the kit from Faith Sisters and just added my word art.

Fear and Name

I used Roman ScrD for the font, printed onto copy paper, rounded the corners and inked the edges blue. I used the same font to make my title, printed onto card stock, cut them apart and inked the edges blue. When I am cutting a word apart like this I leave lots of room to cut them apart. the tab is cut into two parts, the light blue card stock, folded in half and glued onto the card and the corners rounded. The darker blue was then folded in half, corners rounded and glued on top of the light blue. The flower is from a scrapbook page I did earlier and has a large rhinestone in the center. I used the same colored rhinestones at the bottom of my Scripture and quote.

Week 37: Fear (front Scripture)

"Do not be afraid for I am with you."

Issiah 43:5

Fear (back Quote)

You block your dream when you allow

your fear to grow bigger than you faith

- Mary Manin Morrissey

I used Roman ScrD as the font, printed, rounded the left side corners and inked the edges in black. I matted this onto a light green card stock, rounded the left hand side corners and inked the edges. The "Name" is the same font, printed onto card stock, rounded the top corners and matted onto blue card stock. The blue label has black stitches around the top edges.

Eight Maids a-miling

I'm not sure I'm done with this page. I keep coming back to it and changing it. Once again I used the kit from Faith Sisters but I added a Kim Meyers Leaf Template as part of my background.

I have the word art in two separate files.

Once again I used the kit that Faith Sisters provided. I really like this kit. I have the word art in one file, but I also included a black version of it.

Leading and Treasure

I used RomanScrD as the font, printed on copy paper and inked the edges in pink. The pink square tab is from some of Mom's stash. I printed "Leading" on white card stock punched, with a square punch and inked the edges in pink. The flowers are left over from another project, but were cut with the Cricut from the Home Accents Cartridge. They were chalked and layered on top of pink flower and dark green flower . I used a pop up dot behind the green flower.

The hearts are cut using the George and the Basic Shapes cartridge in red and mounted with pop up dots.
