Thankful Shadow Box


Tis the season for being Thankful.  This was so simple and didn't take very long to put together.  Close to My Heart's Decor Shadow Box is a beautiful frame that would add to anyone's decor.  It comes in Colonial White as well.

I cut the tree from the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.  The leaves, banner, and letters are cut from the Artistry cricut cartridge.  Colors I used are Sunset, Cocoa, Ruby, and Flaxen.

I can't wait to create a Christmas themed one and continue to use this beautiful frame as a decor item in my home.

Cheers! - 2016 Tags


I have a sweet customer who trusts me every year to design the tags she attaches to her neighbor gifts.  Hopefully I don't ruin the surprise for her neighbors by posting these, but I really loved how these turned out!  She had the idea to give out sparkling fruit juice with Happy New Year tags! What a great idea!

 I was on the fence about the November Stamp of the Month Cheers-2016, but after playing with it I really love it! With all the fun fonts, sayings, and banners there is a lot you can do with this set.  I paired it with the White Pines paper and color combos to make the perfect tags.  



Supplies Used:
Colonial White Cardstock
Glitter paper
Glacier Cardstock
Fern Ink Pad
Glacier Ink Pad
Cranberry Ink Pad
Silver Shimmer Trim
Glacier Thick Twine
Poppy Thick Twine
Fern Thick Twine
Aristry Cricut Cartridge

All these supplies are available to purchase on my website www.juliescott.ctmh.com

Scrapping For Smiles - Artistry Cards - Chubby Chicken Taquitos

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came and supported my Scrapping For Smiles Crop for Operation Smile!

These are three of the cards we created using the new Artistry Cricut Cartridge.




Of course we had yummy snacks everyone brought to share and for dinner I made Chubby Chicken  Taquitos.  I promised to share the recipe.  Here it is, ENJOY!

CHUBBY CHICKEN TAQUITOS
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (I used rotisserie)
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mexican style cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 9-10 (6 inch) four tortillas
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350

1. In a large bowl mix together the chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and spinach.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken mixture on to tortilla and roll up.  Set seam side down on baking pan (I cover mine with foil first).  Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
3. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until tortillas are crispy and filling is hot.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, mine is guacamole.

Friend Tree - Watercolors

I spent last night with a fun group of ladies at my friend Erica's house teaching them about watercolors and Close to My Heart products.  This is the card we created.


Erica wanted a fall themed card for her make and take.  I used the Sangria color palette as inspiration for this card.  The background tree paper is actually from our White Pines paper packet.  I used Poppy twine and gold sequins for accents.  I used Memento black ink for the sentiment and water color paper and water colors to paint the leaf and the swish over the sentiment.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set D1677 Friend Tree.

I love this card so much I will be adding it to my Card Creation Station this month!

Thanks Erica!  You did an amazing job hosting a party and I can't wait to see what you choose for your free items!

You can purchase any of the items on my website www.juliescott.ctmh.com.
