Simple Christmas Layout

Happy Holidays!
I have been MIA lately I am so sorry......but I have a new job that has been life consuming!
Still running my small business and thankfully this year has been a busy one for me.  I have done so much more traveling and getting to meet many of my out of state friends....
I feel totally blessed right now!
I wanted to take a minute and share this simple Christmas Layout and wish all of my Creative Cutter Friends a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Tip Tuesday! Make your own Glimmer Mist!

Hello!

It's Tracy here from Owl Be Craftin' and today I am going to show you how to make your own Glimmer Mists.  I love to use them on my layouts and cards, but sometimes they do get a little expensive or you cannot find the right color.  
To start out, you want some Perfect Pearls, a Mini Mister, a straw, water, and a reinker (optional).

I cut off the tip of the straw at an angle to create a little "spoon."  Pick up a little of the Perfect Pearls with the straw.  I decided to use Biscotti because it gives the mist a shine, but doesn't add color.

Put the Perfect Pearls in the Mini Mister and fill the Mister up with water.

Gently mix the Perfect Pearls with the water.  Do not shake it because you will end up with bubbles and it will not spray even.  Rock the bottle back and forth.

If you want to add color to your mist, pick any color Distress Re-Inker and add two or three drops.  

Now, you have your very own Glimmer Mist.  You could also use a colored Perfect Pearls or try to mix some Distress colors to see how it turns out.  Have fun!

It's DECEMBER!!!!

It's December....this is my favorite time of year!!
 
I hope in all of the busy activities we all have that we find time to put Christ in Christmas.
I was born on Christmas Eve and when this time of year comes my heart rejoices!
Not because its my birthday, but because my family takes time to remember at the close of the year, the things that are really important to us.
We cherish our loved ones, think of how our lives were touched by loved ones past and we pray that next year will find us healthy and together once again.
Whatever your celebrations are this month I hope above all else they help you remember the Reason for the Season!
Hope all of your memories are SWEET ones this month.
~Hugs~
