All items were adhered with Claudine Hellmuth's Studio Matt Medium, also by Ranger.  Hope you enjoy this one.  Keep smiling and keep those creative juices flowing, Carol

Baby It's Cold Out There!

Baby It's Cold Out There!

     This is my Layout  using The Robin’s Nest paper Winter Snowflake, and this is how I created it:

1.   Cut the paper around snowflakes and adhere to Indigo cardstock. Use
      Pop-Dots on the four large snowflakes.
2.   Use Icicle Border Punch on White cardstock to create Ice and Snow on
      Top of Page.
3.   Cut out a Large Snowflake and use Snowflake Punch to create small drifting
      Snowflakes.
4.   Place Photos where I have used Graphics.
5.   Use Icicle Stickles on Ice and Snow Top and all the small Snowflakes.
6.   Use Rhinestones for centers of various snowflakes.

     AND, it's done. Wasn't that fun. Thank you for your interest and please stop by again to see more fun and exciting projects.  Remember, "art should never hurt," so keep smiling and get those creative juices flowing, Carol Berns

FESTIVE FRIDAY CHRISTMAS CARD BLOG HOP

IT'S RETRO SANTA
     It's the last Blog Hop of the year and you have probably come from The Robin's Nest and now your here, at Carol Berns.  It's hard to believe this Hop is over, but now I get to mail out all the cards I made throughout the year, lucky me.
     This card was inspired by some scrapbook items I received from a friend who lost her mother and gave me some of her things, so I created "Retro Santa' who really has a folk-art look.  I found a set of stamps that are 50's retro and felt they added the perfect touch.  I added Stickles and inking along with buttons, which were so popular at the time this paper was created. Now it's time to send you to Michelle Cummings, but before I do I would like to take the time to wish you a Holiday Celebration filled with blessings, joy, good health and a house filled with loved ones.  Thank you for your support and I look forward to sharing with you in the New Year...keep smiling, Carol

FESTIVE FRIDAY CHRISTMAS CARD BLOG HOP

NOEL
     WOW, am I really getting in the mood for Christmas, and I just could not contain my excitement so, Bli-bling, Bli-bling.  There is just no such thing as too much Glitz and Glitter for the Holidays.  So, welcome to the second to last posting for our Hop, and you probably came from The Robin's Nest. Would you like to learn how to make this card?  It's easy.
     This is all you'll need:
One plain card 5 1/2"x 4 1/2"
Red Cardstock 5 1/4"x4 1/4"
Green Decorative Paper (I topped it with Green Glitter Tulle)
Red Tulle 12"
Tim Holtz Die "Noel 25"
Silver Glitter Paper for 'Noel" and a small piece of Red for numbers.
     See how simple yet so lovely, in fact, I think I'll go back into my art room and make more. 
So off you go to Michelle Cummings  for more Holiday loveliness, enjoy and keep smiling, Carol.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TAG CARD

 Welcome to this week's Festive Friday Blog Hop. You should have come from The Robin’s nest  , and if you get lost I have included a complete Blog Hop list at the bottom of this post.  SO,
'Tis Almost the Season...really almost, and I have been in a Tag Making mode, so far 30 tags made.  I decided to make a card using one of the tags to show just how easy it is to recycle this year's tags into next year's cards.

I used:
  Green Glitter Paper for my base,
  Creating Keepsakes Holly Paper,
  Dark Green Cardstock for Tag Base,
  Red Cardstock,
  "Merry Christmas" stamp with Black ink,
  Transparent Peal Pen, Holly Green Stickles
  and Flower attached with a silver Brad.
Have fun creating your Tags this year and don't forget to save them for your next year's Cards.
Happy creating and keep smiling :)),  Carol ...and now, off you go to Michelle Cummings  to complete your Hop.
