MM Noel Kit!! - Last chance to Win!!

This is Gaby from GabyCreates.com Just here to remind you that you have until tomorrow to enter for a chance at this beautiful and versatile mini album kit by Making Memories brought to you by

This is my Noel Mini Album
Remember to click on any picture for larger more detail view.

It comes with so many supplies that if you follow the instructions included, you will have enough to create 2, yes two of this mini albums and have enough leftover for much more.

I followed the layering instructions for the poinsettia with the exception of adding a piece of bakers twine and a faceted jewel.  For the Joy ticket instead of adhering the metallic holly leaf under, I adhered on top and added two faceted jewels. I colored the faceted jewels with a Copic marker to match. I love the rich color attained.

The instructions ask if you have a Slice to cut 4 designs, but since I do not have one (I could have used another cutting machine such as Cricut), I decided to show you how much you can do without a cutting machine.  Just with the abundant supplies you will get in this kit!

The instructions ask that you add the word joy cut with your slice.  I instead used a rub-on included of the word Joy and some stars. For the left page I again added a rub-on of a holly on top of a journaling stamp. (not included)

For this page you are asked to cut a piece of this beautiful paper and decided not to so that I can use for a layout. I will come back and show you the layouts, yes plural, that I created with all the leftover supplies included in this kit!  I used instead a rub-on (all included).

Here, the instructions ask that you cut with slice and place a holly. I decided to use the included glitter die-cuts. I layered the tree on top of a tag with a tree for dimension. I also added some rub-ons and more die-cuts (all included in kit)

Here I added a piece of trim and a glitter die-cut instead of just a lace trim.

For these two pages again I used the rub-ons, buttons and the glitter die-cuts all included in your kit.

Thanks for having me!

You have until tomorrow

7 Gypsies Tray with Basic Grey Jovial

Hi, this is Gaby with a 7 Gypsies Tray.
I have been wanting to create a Tray like this for a while now.

This is a 7 Gypsies ATC Artist Tray  (artist trading cards)

This tray has 12 2.75x3.75 spots

I used the left over paper and embellishments from the Basic Grey Jovial Collection kit that I used to create the previous Two-Page LO

Top of tray, from left to right - Welded letters using my Gypsy and Gypsy Font.

Next two spots - Cut Santa's outfit using my Gypsy and Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge and MS punch. For the clips I just cut pieces of cardstock.  The Santa Claus word was cut using Gypsy Font. And added a piece of green hemp cord. 

Last spot to right - I centered a wallet size picture.

Flower, bird and gift embellishments - sticker sheet included with kit.

Welded and cut 3 times to give chipboard effect.

Middle left to right - Placed a wallet size picture and 3-D embellishment from kit.  Added a piece of red ribbon.

Next spot was decorated with embellishments from sticker sheet and mini monograms, both included on kit.

I added pop up foam for added dimension

On the following spot I added a color wallet size picture. Cut bottom edge using an EK punch.

Last spot I decorated with 3-D pop ornament and the word "Presents" welded and cut using Gypsy Font.

Bottom from left to right - Decorated with embellishments included in kit.

Next placed a wallet sized picture.  Following, "DEC 25" I created with my Gypsy and Base Camp cartridge.  Embellished with BG bling included on kit.

For the last spot, I just added ribbon.

All doodling was done with Sakura metallic gel pen.
Basically I decorated this Tray with left over items from BG POTM kit and adding just a few pieces of cardstock and ribbon.  And I still have paper and embellishments left!

New HappyNScrappin' Designer - BG POTM

Welcome to

Hi, I am Gaby from GabyCreates.com and am so happy and thrilled to be here as a

HappyNScrappin' Designer!!

I have been crafty most of my life, but have just become addicted to Scrapbooking and Paper Crafting this past year.  It was a Basic Grey LO that just called my attention and my paper crafting journey began.

A year ago, while seaching for a BG kit (did not know what BG stood for?) I came across HappyNScrappin' online store.  It is the first online store selling scrapbooking supplies I ever purchased from! and continue to do so. They have great prices, communication and super fast delivery!

Ok, on to my creation for today.
This Two-Page LO is the December Basic Grey's Page Of The Month (BG POTM).  You can find it at HappyNScrappin at a great discounted price!

Click on any picture to enlarge and get better view

Even though you receive detail instructions with each kit, you can improvise or change, take or add any element or embellishment you wish to make a bit more you!
For the left bottom page I pretty much followed the instructions with the exception of two additional two Jovial Pops/ornaments, I decided I liked it better with just one.
For the right page: I adhered the 1/4" strip of BG Jovial Scarf under the artisan label instead of on top. I decided to adhered the artisan to a piece of kraft cardstock and pop dotted it to give it more dimension. I additionally used the label facing the opposite way and added a piece of ribbon.
