Pear and Partridge Layout #2

My second layout with Pear and Partridge uses the sentiment stamp "The best Gift: Family". I just love this simple stamp that comes in our workshop kit! It is perfect for these pages I made about my daughter and her cousin stealing the show at our Christmas Party a few years ago.

I also used a lot of squares with rounded corners! My corner rounding punch was glad to come out of storage, and it might show! :)

I also used the glittery rub ons again and I love how they look when used on the darker card stocks!

My favorite part of this layout is the ornament I created with the October Stamp of the Month stamp set, "Very Merry Christmas". I stamped it in Cranberry ink and then used my clear detail embossing powder and craft heat gun to emboss it and make it shine! Added the ribbon binding bow accent and set it on 3D Foam tape.

I am entering this layout in "Challenge #118 - Ornaments" at the 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge Blog. I hope they like it!

Thank you for visiting to see what I have been up to!

October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month's stamp set is titled: "Very Merry Christmas" (a set of 11 stamps)... That's right, Christmas, is just around the corner. This is the perfect time to stock up on project inspiration and supplies before the Christmas crunch. You are sure to find inspiration on this hop!

If you arrived here from Pam's Blog, "Pam's Clearly Crafty Corner", then you are on the right track! After you view my creations you will find a link at the bottom of this post to the next Consultant on the hop.

My layout is based on the current sketch at Let's Scrap Ning Blog site.

My favorite stamp from this stamp set is the ornament hands down! I stamped it in cranberry ink and heat embossed with clear to make it shine. When I put it on my layout I used the 3D foam tape to make it pop and create a shadow under it. I added the bow at the top to make it fancy. I really like how it turned out.

Another accent I create was the snowflake shape. I stamped it in bamboo and embellished it with tiny round crystals.

The mitten also looks great with crystal embellishments, this time I used square ones.

"Christmas Cheer" was the perfect journal accent for these pages! I stamped it on a chipboard piece and sponged the edges.
