On Wednesday, I shared the main layout from the new White Pines Workshop on the Go. Today, I have the additional layout from the same WOTG to share with you. I love the glacier blue in this collection. It adds such a contemporary feel to the traditional Christmas elements -- plus it just adds to the versatility of this collection!
I hope you'll check out my process video showing how I put together this additional layout.

There seems to be lots of controversy going on in the world right now about Christmas -- from is it too early to start thinking Christmas to what is Christmas supposed to look like. People are getting worked up over red coffee cups and Christmas tree sightings in November. But let's face it -- as crafters, Christmas goes all year round for us! From scrapbooking Christmas pictures in June to working on Christmas gifts from September to Christmas Eve -- Christmas is a year-round holiday for crafters everywhere. But this time of year, the feeling of Christmas kicks into high gear as the world joins us in feeling festive.
Close to My Heart's Christmas collection, White Pines, this year is definitely festive! From the traditional colors of red and green to the holly and boughs, this collection makes me want to trim the tree, pour a cup of hot cocoa, and curl up with my loved ones to watch The Santa Clause or Elf -- while making lots of memories to scrapbook, of course!! The White Pines Workshop on the Go is perfect for capturing those holiday memories.
Today, I am sharing the main layout featured in the WOTG cutting guide. I can't wait to fill this layout with pictures of my family this year at Christmas. I absolutely love the flair badges and red gems that coordinate with this collection.
And in a new "tradition", I'm stepping outside of my crafting box and sharing a YouTube video I made showing you step-by-step how to put this beautiful layout together. Please head over to my YouTube channel and check out my first process video. I would love for you to leave me some feedback love either here or on YouTube.

I absolutely love making pocket letters. So when Jody over at SpiegelMom Scraps hosted another pocket letter swap, I jumped right in! The swap's theme was Fall.
If you are new to pocket letters, they are penpal letters in pocket format. Basically, you fill all the pockets of a 9 Pocket Page Protector (or similar) and send the whole page to someone who wants to swap or to your existing penpal(s). You fill the pockets with the components of a typical pen pal letter.
One of the most fun parts of a pocket letter is gifting / receiving crafty goodies for future use. For this letter, I created my own ephemera by punching various images from one of the sheets in the DCWV Autumn Splendor stack.

When I saw the Urban collection in the 2015-16 Annual Inspirations, I {may} have done a happy dance. As the mom of a boy, I am always looking for masculine collections to help me document his story. The bold colors and textures are beyond fabulous and simply put a boy mom's dream. :-)

This collection is also great for masculine cards, and let's face it -- with all the pretty colors, glitz, and bling in the papercrafting world, many of us struggle with designing cards for the men in our lives. My goal for November, in addition to creating scrapbook pages for my loves, is to build up my stash of male cards. Be sure to follow along as I share my creations.
Now on to today's card...

Welcome to the November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

The month's featured stamp set is S1511 Cheers, 2016! (pictured below). This set is only available until November 30th and is only $5 with a $50 Close to My Heart purchase.
For today's project, I started by creating a simple card with the new Confetti embossing folder and some gold embellishments. After creating the "Dream Big" card, I decided to step up the design a little with an additional layer. I used one of the beautiful black & white patterns from the La Vie En Rose collection.
Which design do you like better??
I also used the stamp set to create a coordinating envelope. In my opinion, a matching envelope is the perfect finishing touch to any handmade card.
Supplies used:
*Artistry Cricut collection *Cheers, 2016! stamp set *5 1/2" X 4 1/4" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack *12" x 12" Black card stock *12" x 12" Pomegranate card stock *12" x 12" White Daisy card stock *Pomegranate Exclusive Inks stamp pad
