Jennifer Haggerty's Blog Posts

Hello friends! It's Jennifer on the blog to share another awesome Simple Stories Christmas collection! Holly Jolly includes the traditional red and green holiday colors along with touches of pink and black for contrast  I  began with the Red/Dots sheet from the Simple Basics Kit as my background. I then adhered the eye catching plaid of Cozy Christmas along with Oh What Fun in the middle of my page. 

 I  used the whimsical die cut words from the Bits and Pieces pack for my title; they look perfect adhered right next to my photo! For accent, I  added a few Enamel Dots as well as wood veneer stars from my stash. 

I  wanted to document a favorite Christmas Eve photo of my kids with their cousins from a couple years ago!  The Journal Bits and Pieces includes these little half circle sentiments that are perfect to tuck under pictures or other embellishments! I  also added two sentiment stickers found on the bottom half of the Combo Sticker sheet. 

Once I  adhered my photo, I  created a banner of sorts with bakers twine and embellishments from the collection! I  combined three pieces in the Journal Bits and Pieces to create a tag for my journaling.  I  adhered a cute multi-colored Christmas tree from the Bits and Pieces behind the tag to add dimension.

I  love the little pennants with sentiments from the Journal Bits and Pieces! I  adhered one with foam tape layered with a journal circle and multi-colored tree.  I  used a hole punch on the circle so I  could string it through my bakers twine.  

It was tough to decide on which die cuts to use as there are so many cute shapes and sentiments!  Here, I  affixed this Santa with a mini wood clothespin to my bakers twine.

Hi friends! It's Jennifer on the blog today to share an altered project I  created with the new Say Cheese Christmas!  I  picked up a chipboard advent calendar at a local craft store and thought this collection would be adorable! I  love the traditional red and greens Christmas colors as well as the pink and light blue!

I  cut 2x2 inch squares of a background pattern followed by adhering a smaller square on top. For both pieces, I  used a circle hand punch to create a notch to line up to the chipboard.  I  then used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges for extra accent.  

On each square, I  used embellishments from the Bits and Pieces and Combo Sticker sheet.  I  had SN@P Number Stickers in my stash and used different colors to mark each day.  

Here, I  used the cute banner from the Combo Sticker sheet and adhered it with pop dots.  I cut the banner where the two boxes meet.  I  also added some coordinating enamel dots from my stash! 

There are so many cute, whimsical shapes included in Say Cheese Christmas!  I  tried to use pop dots on the larger shapes and adhere them at an angle.  For contrast, I  adhered my numbers stickers to a circle embellishment or one that I  hand punched from patterned paper. 

For my last square, I  used the multi-colored "25" found on the Combo Sticker Sheet. I  adhered my number with pop dots adding a poinsettia die cut underneath.

Hello friends! It's Jennifer here today to share a page with you I  created using the new Country Christmas collection!  If you are one who loves a vintage feel to your Christmas paper than this line is for you!  You also have soft beautiful hues of the traditional reds and greens with light blue and white mixed in.  I  scrapped an older photo of my kids decorating Christmas cookies!  

I  trimmed the B side of Winter Wishes down to 11x11 inches and adhered it to the eye-catching plaid of O Christmas Tree. I  then cut a piece of the Winter White/Dots from the Simple Basic Kits to use at the top half of my page.

I  used a favorite border punch on a strip of the red and white checker of Wonderful Life at the bottom of the Winter White/Dots. I  also adhered a strip of the B side of the 4x4 Elements and stitched through with my sewing machine.  You can also spy one of the three Washi Tapes that are included in the collection! 

At the bottom left of my page, I  used the woodgrain script "Joy" from the 6x12 Chipboard for my title.  I  adhered die cut poinsettias and leaves from the Floral Bits and Pieces as well as added in die cut hearts and a sentiment from the Bits and Pieces pack.

Also included in the collection are Layered Frames (which you have seen in previous lines).  You receive six different frames with varying sizes.  Here, I  used a 4x6 Horizontal Frame to fit my photo.

  I   love the Jolly Bingo Card from the Bits and Pieces and had to find a way to used it! I  tucked it under the edge of my Layered Frame as well as added the cute pink ticket for journaling.  I  popped up the circle "25" with foam tape and placed in between my two die cuts.
