Last Minute Gift Tags

Here we are on Christmas Eve and I've got some last minute gift tags, for Paper House Productions.

I'm one of those who refuses to go out and buy gift tags, when I can easily make them quickly myself.  Besides, handmade is more special, right?  Today, I'm using scrapbook papers from the Christmas Joy Craft Set, along with other Paper House holiday elements.  Scroll down for more.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

I'll be honest.  These tags happened, quite by accident.  I chose the red/white striped paper included in the kit.  It's double side and features some really gorgeous cut out images on the flip side.  Well, when I die cut my red/white paper with my nesting tag dies and flipped it over, look what happened..... practically perfect tags that were better than I could have dreamed!

There's the little edged, sectioned circles that were perfect for adding a stamped "to" and "from".  Next, add some gold foiled accents from the Christmas Magic Cardstock Stickers included in the kit.  

Layer your gold accented cardstock stickers with a strip of Christmas Joy Washi Tape to finish off your tag.

I hope this inspires you to find unique ways to use your Paper House Productions Christmas scrapbook paper!  You'll find a full list of products and clickable shopping links below.  Thanks for popping in and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy News! Joining the Paper House Productions Design Team!

I am ecstatic to announce that I'm joining the Paper House Productions Design Team in July!  You won't believe this, but it was literally a goal of mine to join a scrapbook paper design team this year.  Paper is my first love.  That's where it all started for me, all those years ago when my friend Nancy Hilton took me to my first crop (look Nancy, you got a shout out!).  Ah, the joys of taking scissors to paper.  Before I knew it, I fell in love with cardmaking and paper continued to reign in my life.   I became an avid stamper and joined several stamp design teams, however, paper was always there; a staple in almost every project. 

Paper House Productions stood out in my mind for another reason.  I'm pretty sure I met them back in 2014 when I was the guest blogger for the CHA/AFCI Paper Arts Trade show in Atlanta.  I did a little digging and yes.... I did meet them!  In fact, I wrote a segment all about the lovely folks at PHP on the Craft and Hobby Association blog.  Take a look!

I have a love affair with paper and am so happy that Paper House Productions chose me to represent their wonderful array of products.  They have selected a stellar team and I'm even more excited that I already know several of the ladies, having worked with them on other design teams.  It already feels like a family atmosphere which is like the icing on the cake!

I thought I would share a couple projects that I made not too long ago, using Paper House Productions papers.  Here's my milk carton treat box, filled with k-cups for a project I did last year for Coffee Loving Cardmakers.

And this one below, more recently, was for a joint blog hop with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

https://wavingmywand.blogspot.com/2018/05/blog-hop-with-scrapbook-adhesives-by-3l.html

Their product line is EXTENSIVE!  They have license to the Wizard of Oz line.  Um, my baby shower was Wizard of Oz themed.  My little niece dressed up like Dorothy and my nephews dressed like the Lollipop Guild.  My sister gave me a huge piece of Wall Art that was Wizard of Oz and drove 2 hours to Atlanta to meet one of the original munchkins who was on tour and doing a book signing.  I believe he was the Mayor of Munchkin Land.  He autographed the art and my sister had it framed.  It is one of my most prized possessions.  I'm a huge Wizard of Oz fan!  It feels a little bit like destiny to have the joy of creating with their products on a regular basis.  

Hop on over to their website and check out their products, here.  Then visit their blog and get ready for the internet to blow up with more design team inspiration!  Woo-hoo!  See you soon with my first official project!

My Grandparents - A Love Story (and layout)

(*Update - scroll down) I confess.  I'm a procrastinator.  I admit it, and I embrace it.   With that being said, I'm flying in by the seat of my pants (again) to celebrate my pal Monica's birthday.  She's having a big birthday bash and it was the perfect time for me to create this layout that I've been meaning to do.  

I received this photo a few months ago from my cousin.  These are my grandparents when they were just starting out on their journey in life.  Their's was a grand love story.  Their love for one another was evident, unabashed and eternal.  Even in old age, when both were separated by health issues and finally death, their love for one another never wavered.  I wondered how my grandmother would ever survive the death of her beloved, but survive she did.  She was a strong woman and I loved them both dearly.

Her many grandchildren remember her garden and some have grown today, tending gardens of their own.  She grew sunflowers, peas, and eggs (from the chicken coop!).  

As much as she loved to garden, she loved my grandfather more, as did he.  They had such respect for one another and it's a shame that you don't see much of that in this day and age.  I love the movie, "Nottinghill" and drew inspiration for the "garden" reference above.  Remember the scene in the movie where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant are reading the memorial plaque on the park bench?  I get all weepy just thinking about it!

To create my 8.5" x 11" scrapbook page, I used lots of Graphic 45 papers including Communique, A Proper Gentleman, A Time to Flourish August (sunflowers), G45 Typography washi tape and die cuts.  All my adhesives and foam squares are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I also used my Tombow calligraphy pen to letter my grandparent's names, and a white gel pen to letter the sentiment below.

I miss them so much.  I'm so proud of the legacy they left to our family.....the family values..... the love.  I know my cousins and other extended family feel the same way.   So, I pay tribute to them today and leave a little piece of them to pass on to my own son.  One day, he'll share these stories with his own children and that brings me joy.

*Update!  Since posting this project,  I learned from my cousins that yes,  my grandfather had just begun courting my grandmother.   My cousin Kimberly,  sent me these photos below which was my grandfather's calling card and included his own hand designed initials.   

In addition,  that is my grandfathers first car in the photo above.   I'm thrilled to discover these additional tidbits. 

P. S.... Happy National Cousins Day,  to the best cousins on the planet! 

Now, since I procrastinated (sigh), you don't have much time to join the party, if you'd like to link up to Monica's birthday bash.  Here's the link though.

Monica's Birthday Bash at Taylormade4U Cards

You have until 5/31/17 to link up your creation.  There's a mood board too, to get your mojo going!

Thanks for stopping in and listening to me share a piece of my heart with you!  Terri
