CCM: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Can you believe that this is the last CCM of the year? Where has 2017 gone? As expected, this month’s CCM is all about Christmas and totally fun!

I love all of the Christmas colors, and the super whimsical elements included in this kit! This is just the main kit! There are a bunch of great Add-Ons by the designers to check out too! The main kit is $11.99 this weekend and all Add-Ons are 20% off. If you decide to SUBSCRIBE to Create Crate Monthly, the cost of the kit is $8.99 and Add-Ons are 35% off! That sounds like a bargain to me!

I have a thing for Christmas kits, so I picked this up right away and was able to put together this awesome layout.

I also saw this layout by Ellen, which I fell in love with.

There is just so much awesome layering and shadowing on this layout. I literally can’t even. Plus, these layouts are only the beginning. Don’t waste any more time! Head to the store and SUBSCRIBE to Create Crate Monthly now!!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
