Want2Scrap™ November Guest Designer - Holly Simoni

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I am thrilled to share a Beautiful projects with you from our November Guest Designer, Holly Simoni. Throughout the post Holly has several tips that she shared for creating her project.


Holly designed this stunning 12 Days of Christmas wall hanging!! There are SO many details and check out all of that BLING!! Holly said that she used coordinating patterned paper collection that includes several hues, this way she was able to incorporate many different colors of Want2Scrap products and include fun colored bling like red and green along with the black, silver, white, mocha!


Holly used Spellbinders, Labels, Shapeabilities, and Nestabilities die templates to find the perfect size of die cut to fit behind each vintage label holder. She varied the size, shape and color of all 12 die cuts.


To embellish her project Holly used smaller die cuts, metal objects and even more Want2Scrap products and painted a few die cuts with glimmer glam.

Holly used fuzzy chipboard numbers represent all 12 days of Christmas.


The Christmas tree stamp is from the O Christmas Tree stamp set by JustRite and has the entire 12 days of Christmas on it. This 12 Days of Christmas project would make a great gift as well! All of the supplies that Holly used to create this stunning 12 Days of Christmas wall hanging are listed below.

Sweet & Sassy Birthday

Good morning blogging friends! Today I have a fun, bright and cheery birthday card to share with you.


Personal, I am not usually one for the brighter colors but I had so much fun coloring this fun toppsy turvy cake image from JustRite and adding all of the pretty and colorful bling from Want2Scrap®.


I used Copic markers to color the image and then used Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and S4- Labels Fourteen to cut/emboss the shape. Then I layered the die cut, Nestaboard Labels Fourteen and Nestabling Labels Fourteen Hot Pink Rhinestones. I colored the paper doily with glimmer mist and added some die cut accent pieces from S5-071 Twisted Metal Tags & Accents.


For the rose I used S4-352 Spiral Blossom Two from Spellbinders. Once the rose was rolled I added glimmer mist and glitter to match the Nestabling and Ribbon. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also added some Baby Bling Turquoise Rhinestones to the cake and corners of the card and Baby Bling White Pearls to the swirl die cut accents.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!!

November Guest Designer - Holly Simoni

Good morning blogging friends! It's the first of the month and that means we have a new Guest Designer to introduce. For the month of November Holly Simoni will be our Guest Designer!! I am so thrilled Holly will be joining us!! I LOVE her unique and artsy style!! Not only is Holly an Amazing designer but she is such a wonderful and inspiring person.




Here is a little bit about Holly~

I live in a small rural town in Wyoming. I have a fabulous husband that supports my creativity. Scrapbooking became a hobby for me when my two little girls were born. It has evolved into an expression of art for me. My art can be a bit wild, grungy, distressed and at times have a graphic feel to it. Photography, scrapbooking, and mixed media have become a great outlet for my artistic endeavors. I have taught altered art, altered books, card making, stamping, Photoshop Elements and scrapbook classes. I have enjoyed being published in scrapbooking and altered art magazines. I am a 2006, 2007 and 2009 Spellbinders Design Team Member, am a current Spellblogger, and Spellbinders Travel Team Member. I am also on the Tattered Angels Design Team.

I have volunteered my time with “Stars in Heaven” – a group of parents who have had a child pass away, and want to make paper arts as a form of therapeutic expression. I recently began volunteering to scrapbook with school age children to create memory albums. I have a B.S. Degree in Health and Human Development, and am a Certified Massage Therapist, but would secretly love to work full time in the paper crafting industry. My new obsession is curating words of wisdom on Pinterest!

I thought that since today is Halloween it would be a great time to share this layout with you. This is a picture of my youngest son and myself at his Cub Scout Halloween party a few weeks ago. All of the boys dressed up and some of the parents did too. Check out the bling on my face--it's Finesse Swirls Black Rhinestones and 72 Count Purple Rhinestones! Now that is thinking outside the box and taking it off the page LOL!

To start I used Style D Chipboard Embellishments, inked them with Tuxedo Black and then added 72 Count Lavender Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™and Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap.

Next I created several Halloween die cuts using S4-279 Graveyard Scenes and Shapes, S4-280 Halloween Scenes and Shapes, S4-282 Witches Brew, S4-277 Nested Bats die templates from Spellbinders™. Then I lightly inked them with Brilliance Starlite Silver to make the embossing pop.


I created a border along the bottom of the layout with the Halloween die cuts.

I added Ranger Orange Peel Stickles to the window in the haunted house and Flower Soft Sage for the grass.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a Happy, Fun & Safe Halloween!!

Debbie, designed this clipboard for her daughter who is away at college so she could hang it outside of her dorm room and her friends could leave her a message or she could leaf a message for her friends. What a Fantastic Idea!!


Here is a close up of the bottom half of the clipboard. Look at those gorgeous roses!!


Debbie used the Nestaboard™ Lattice Rectangles and Nestabling™ Lattice Rectangle Eggplant Pearl to from the butterfly. Then she added some twine and a heart charm.


Debbie, I absolutely love the altered clipboard and I know your daughter will love it too!!

I have to say a Huge Thank You to Debbie Seyer for being our Guest Designer for the month of October!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs with us!!
