Pear and Partridge

I made a sachet using this new Christmas paper. For filler, I opened a Scentsy Scent Pack and filled the paper sachets with scented beads. These are going to make our stocking smell so festive this Christmas.

Scholastic

I found the Scholastic paper to be very similar to last year’s Typeset paper. Still, it is fun to work with and I will definitely use it for the kids’ school pages. I made this cute little pencil holder with it, for the kids to give to their teacher on the first day of school. I found the pattern for it here.

Though I am not a fan of pink and girly things, I did really like this paper pack. It was fun to play with and I see many possibilities for my girls with it. It is elegant and pretty. I chose the pattern for this card from the new Make It From Your Heart pattern book.

Dakota

To be completely honest, I was stumped when it came to this particular paper packet. It was certainly not my favorite and I had to go searching for inspiration. Back to Pinterest I went, where I found a lovely card, created again, by the talented Allisa Chilton. This card was loosely based on her pattern and it gave me a new appreciation for this paper pack.

Clementine

I was wandering through Pinterest again and came across a card made with the Clementine paper pack. I had to make my own version of it. The original card was done by Allisa Chilton and can be seen on her blog here.  I used the new burlap ribbon, which is my absolute favorite new product. I can’t get enough of it.P8100047

Paper: Clementine

Avonlea

Avonlea is probably my favourite paper pack in the new catalogue. It is so pretty without being super girly. There are definitely patterns I could use to make more masculine things as well. Here is a simple card that I created with the Avonlea paper. I totally cased it from another consultant….Kristine Porter. I found it on Pinterest and loved it, so I made one for myself. You can see Kristine’s version here.P8100048

Paper: Avonlea
Stamps: Casual Expressions
