Scrapping Keukenhof

I have two crafty resolutions this year.  One is to do more scrapbooking (I have boxes and boxes of photos) and the other is to use more of the supplies I get in my monthly shopper and VIP kits from Paper Wishes. 

To get things started, I pulled out some pictures I took while visiting Keukenhof several years ago.  I thought they would go well with the Pyramid Papers I got in my VIP package.

I used the Boutique paper pack for both layouts. On the first layout, I wanted to mimic the lacy border from the pyramid decoupage, so I used the long lace border stamp from the Lace and Doilies stamp set and stamped it on brown paper using white ink.  I used Multi Shaper punch for the picture borders on the second page.  The top and bottom page borders are the trimmings from the picture borders.

Snowflake Cards

Here are some cards I made today using the snowflakes that are made with rectangular tea bag tiles.  After making them, I added some dazzles.

You can find printable folding instructions for the snowflakes on my website at www.handcraftedgreetings.com/snowflake.php.  I also recently recorded this tutorial:
