Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of the Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release. Today, we are featuring Sun Soaked Christmas.  I have to say I love this set, due to it's always a summer Christmas in Florida!  We wrap the palm trees in lights and head to the beach. 

For this card I used my good ole Distress spray stains for my background.  I stamped the palm tree image and colored with copic markers. I finished the card off with some white sequins.

Happy Holidays from Florida!

Happy Monday!!!!  I am here today with a FUN, WARM Card from Florida!!!  I have to say I would love some Cold Weather anytime now!!  I think we had maybe 4-5 days of cooler weather scattered about. UGH!!  Yep, were rocking flip flops and the air condition is on with the Christmas tree up!! 

I decided to create how I feel using Flirty Flamingos stamp set. It works perfectly for us Floridians.  I first, stamped the Flamingos in some Cherry Blossom Staz On Ink. I then covered them with a mask of post it tape and distress Inked the sunset. We have some beautiful sunsets in the winter time. Then I colored the flamingos with copic markers, they are easy to color since they are not very large.  For the beach I used gold glitter tape for a festive feel.

Next, I cut a circle out of some baby blue paper and added dots of snow with the snow marker....sigh....I wish it would snow....ok back to 80 Degree reality.  To complete the festive card I used the small santa hat and sentiment from Flaky Family (Currently Sold Out). But, the hats on Winston's Home for Christmas or Holiday Hounds would work too! 

Get your holiday shopping done at Newton's Nook Designs here. 

I hope this WARMED you up for the holiday's!!!  Feel free to send cold weather my way!!!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Store Report: Scrappies

 Store Report and Haul!

I am a bit late on posting this, but it doesn't really matter. I went a few weeks ago to a store in Palatka, FL called Scrappies. WOW! It's a big store packed to the ceiling (literally) with stuff! Casey the owner was really nice and let us run wild throughout the store. :-) She carries a lot of the latest brands! There is a whole section dedicated to Project Life, she also has classes on how to start a Project Life scrapbook. She has two crop rooms, classes, retreats and more!

I would say if you are visitng Florida and staying or living near Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Deland then it is totally worth the trip to get there! If you are farther away it is still worth the trip, just a longer drive.... :-) It was an hour and a half drive from South East Volusia County on scenic back roads.

Store Report! Violettes, Lakeland, FL

 Do I have a store report for you?!?! WOW, is all I can say. If you are ever in the Orlando/Tampa area. Go and check out Violettes. They have 12 rooms of yummy goodness! YES, I said TWELVE! It just doesn't stop, they have anything and everything you could ever want, need or think of! All the latest brands, trends and designs! Some people say it is like a house. It's not a house, it is in a small strip mall behind a gas station, right on the corner! We passed it the first time. The gas station hides it pretty good. The 12 rooms make it feel like a house once your inside. You definitely need a few hours in this store.
