Ring in the New

Hi everyone, Laurel here with my last post as a Scrap-Mart DT member.   I have enjoyed every minute of my 2 years here as a DT member.  I can't believe that it has been 2 years, I am going to miss being on this fabulous team.  However, I won't be far, I will definitely be following along as I can not wait to see what the next year brings with the new DT members!

I thought that this project was rather fitting for the occasion.  I used my Making Memories Slice Elite, the Hands Free Mat and the Holiday Words & Expression to cut out the sentiment on this wine bottle tag.  

 

 

So here is to Ringing in the New Year I hope that everyone has a safe and happy new year.  I also wish all the best for the New Team!

Please also take a moment to say thanks to those designers who have spent the last two years bringing us crafty ideas!  I have had the best time working with and getting to know these ladies and will continue to follow them on their creative journeys.  Be sure you stop by their blogs, say hi and don't forget to "follow" them too!

Here's to the future!

I've been so honored to be part of the Scrap-Mart design team for the past two years. While it's hard to believe that so much time has passed, it is also difficult to believe that today's my last post. It's been a great ride and I've sincerely enjoyed being part of the team. In addition, I appreciate you reading every day or stopping by the Scrap-Mart blog from time-to-time!

So, how about a toast to wish you all the best in 2012?

If you'll be ringing in the new year with family or friends, don't forget a bottle of bubbly! And you can dress it up for the party with a simple tag. 

I made this tag with some of my favorite things from the Scrap-Mart store...

 

  • American Crafts paper and alpha that I picked up from Scrap-Mart's traveling booth at CHA.
  • Quikutz nesting die cuts
  • Sassafras glittered alpha stickers

 

Plus, I added some "confetti" -- little circles punched from patterned paper -- which seems to be a hot trend right now and appropriate for the holiday!

Again, thanks so much for your kindness over the years!

JustRite Love You card

Hi there, it's Eva here again.  Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones!  Hope Santa was good to you!  Did you get any crafty goodies?  Sure hope there were some under the tree.

I am jumping in holidays today and I have a sort of a Valentine's day card to share with you.  One can't start early enough, right?  I made this card using JustRite Stampers Because I Care Cling set, which is full of pretty sentiments and a label that coordinates with Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two.

What I love about this card is that the stamps and the dies are also coordinated with bling. Want2Scrap has beautiful pearls and crystals that coordinate with quite a few Spellbinder dies, and I used their Nestabling Fancy Tags Two in pearl.  Papers I used on this card are by Prima, in case you would like to know.
