1 Wine Red DCWV cardstock
2 18inches coordinating ribbons
Brown writing pen
Floss and a big needle
1. Cut RUST cardstock in half yielding 2 pcs of 6x12 cardstocks.

TAGS - cut two 3.5x4 Wine Red DCWV cardstock and staple a piece of Coffee talk patterned paper on each tags.

Our Holiday Tradition:
Materials:
1 DCWV Green cardstock
1 DCWV White cardstock
2 Pebbles Inc. patterned papers
1 MM green with dots brad
6 buttons (red, green, white)
1 Pebbles Inc. magnetic clip
2 push pins (green and red)
2 small heart chipboards
Chalk ink (red)
ribbon
glitter pen (red)
Stickles (Diamond)
Writing pen (brown)
Optional: scalloped decorative scissors
1. Cut 6x6 from 2 patterned papers. Scallop edges, it may be free-style cutting or draw scallops around the edges of the 6x6 patterned papers first then cut. Adhere on the green base cardstock and doodle around with glitter pen.
2. Mat photo on white cardstock and adhere as shown. Dot the edges with glitter.
3. Cut strips from two different patterned papers. Adhere on top and bottom of the base cardstock. You may add details on the bottom strip by cutting scalloped edges. Decorate with 3 buttons on each strips. Scallop the left-side edge of the layout and add some doodling with a glittered pen.
4. Cut 2 2x3 1/2 white cardstock. Decorate one with a Christmas tree with glitters and doodlings. On the layout shown, the tree was handcut from a lighter shade of green cardstock and the trunk is a scrap of beige paper. The other one is for journaling. Adhere both with a brad.
5. Cut the big clip in half (for personal choice, I peeled away the magnets on the clip), adhere on the right upper-most of the photo as shown. Tie two ribbon knots and use push pins to top it on the big clip/s. I pinned two hearts (painted and glittered) to the other end of the push pins.
6. The title/s on the layout were hand-written/cut. Ink a bit of red chalk and run some glitter on the letters. Adhere as shown. Doodle "our" and a swirl to finish off your title.
Through Scrapbooking
Materials:
1 Wine Red DCWV cardstock
1 Light green DCWV cardstock
1 Spicy Dots Flair Designs pattern paper
4 Prima flowers
2 Brads
Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink (Cabin Cupboard)
Tin foil
Black permanent writing pen
Brown ribbon
Optional: a portion of Fresh from the vine Flair Designs pattern paper (handcut flowers)
1. Cut:
1 9.5x9.5 inches green cardstock
4 1inch strips of patterned paper (scalloped freehand or with decorative scissors)
2 10.5 brown ribbon
2 8.5 brown ribbon
2. Mat wallet-sized photo on the same color as base cardstock. Corner-round (all four corners) of the two bigger photos.
3. Adhere the green cardstock first on the base cardstock (middle part), the patterned paper strips (just above the green cardstock) and then the photos, as shown.
4. Adhere ribbons, covering the edge where the green cardstock and the patterned paper meet.
5. Using a tin foil (on the sample layout, I used tin foil from a powder milk can), dab alcohol inks that matches your papers. Draw small flowers using black permanent writer (I used American Craft Slick Writer). Handwrite your title as well, as shown on the layout. Then cut. (NOTE: Careful with the tin foil, it has sharp edges and may cut your hands)
6. Place flowers with brads (as shown) and glue on the tin foil flowers. Optional: handcut flowers using green patterned paper.
Instead of handcutting the flowers, you may use any other flower that matches your papers and photos.
7 On the two Prima flowers at the leftside upper-most of the greencardstock, I used the same green patterned papers and mounted it on foam tapes before gluing the small tin foil flowers.
8. Cut strips of patterned paper for your journaling. Adhere title first and then the journaling strips. Doodle around the strips.
