Here’s a little mini album I created using the new Graphic 45 Le Cirque.

The Le Cirque line is so unique – love vintage circus.

So excited that I have some recent Circus photos!

Dan, the kids and I enjoyed to The Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey Circus in Salt Lake last September.

The little clowns in this line are so cute! I cut out each individual clown from one of the patterned papers (Dazzle and Delight).  They’re so cute running along the bottom of this page.

It’s almost impossible to see in the photos but I glittered the clown’s clothing.

You know me, I love a little sparkle!

Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

For the next week my blog will be flooded with Graphic 45 projects.

It’s that time of year when I can share my CHA creations!

This is a little tag I made using the new Le Cirque line.

Le Cirque is so bright and fun!

Wish I was at CHA…next time it comes around for sure.

I’ll be traveling home from Utah today.  I just had a wonderful visit with my Grandmother and a much needed “weekend away” with my Mom.  Can’t wait to see my hubby and kids this afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a fabulous day!

xoxo, Christie

I whipped up a couple of simple cards with my leftover Fancy Pants “Happy Together” paper.

Still so, so busy getting projects ready for CHA.  I promise to share as soon as I can.

For now…

Also…I designed a class that will be taught at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.

More information on that HERE.

I hope to share more fun projects soon.

Have a fantastic weekend!

As part of a Christmas Gift for my brother, Adam and his wife, Vanessa, I created the following layouts of their beach trip last summer:

Just a little glitter made these “FUN” chipboard letters pop:

I love this photo of my brother with his sweet daughters – so cute!

I used some Shimmerz Spritz on this layout…I love the splattered look.

And…I had the glitter sitting on my desk so I had to add a little to this layout too.

These beach layouts make me long for Summer…not a good thing when there’s several feet of snow outside. Only er…5 months away???

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I’ve been enjoying the Christmas season and simply forgot to share these projects…

Shimmerz took a front seat on this card.  Love Shimmerz!

“Baby it’s Cold Outside”

This photo of my brother’s family was actually taken last Summer at a beach in California…it  does look a bit like a Christmas photo, right?

“Season’s Greetings”

And this wouldn’t be a proper post without a little Graphic 45…

“Scenes From Christmas”

Merry Christmas friends!

How funny is it that I used to be known (among scrappy friends) for hand stitching on layouts? Not anymore.

Stitching was one of those things that I felt completed a layout. Now its…chalk…buttons…flowers…?

I still love stitching. This paper stocking definitely needed a little something extra.

Silver bells come in handy too.

I’m enjoying the season and spending lots of time with family.  As of this afternoon, my kiddos are officially out of school for Christmas Break.

Fun will be had by all…especially with more cookie baking happening tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas my dear bloggy friends.

I hope that this post finds you feeling merry!

The next few days the Graphic 45 blog will be featuring Core’dinations Core Impressions/Graphic 45 Timeless Collection.

I created this layout with the new Core’dinations paper and Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante.

I love how the Steampunk line always pushes my creativity.

I also created a card with the same papers.

Be sure to stop by the Graphic 45 Blog this week and check out all that the G45 Design Team has created.

Nothing says December like Springtime.

Wait. What?

I just wanted to share a few little peeks at a layout I created with the new

Once Upon a Springtime line from Graphic 45.

This line is very magical – I love it!

How’s that for a Christmas post?  Speaking of Christmas…do you have any fun activities planned?

We attended “Christmas in the Nighttime Sky” the other night.  I was so fantastic to see fireworks in the snow (a new experience for me)!

I hope you’re enjoying this special time of year.

xoxo, Christie

Christmas Season has officially begun!  I’m so excited!

I have so many fun things planned for my family this year, I must apologize ahead of time for my lack of blogging.

I’ll be stopping in here and there…checking up and your blogs and showing you what I’ve been working on too.

To be honest, most of my projects I can’t share yet because they’re Christmas gifts.

Here is something I’m happy to share with you now…

A little sneak peek at a two-page snowflake layout that I have created for

Paradise Scrapbook Boutique

Class will be held on December 18th.

Off to spend the evening making our home feel festive!
