Christmas in July Mixed Media Shaker Card for Little Birdie Crafts

Welcome to my creative space!

It has been a hot June and July here in Ohio with many days in the 90's, so I thought I'd cool things down with a wintry Christmas shaker card. This is my very first shaker card ever! I don't see a lot of shaker cards in the world of mixed media, but thought I'd give it a try. I would adore hearing your feedback and hope you enjoy a little bit of Christmas in July! 

I hope you'll hop on over to the Little Birdie Crafts blog for a full photo tutorial explaining how I put this wintry shaker card together including details showing how I created the shaker insert HERE.

"Remember this Moment" DIY Mixed Media Layout with Scraps of Elegance Petals Kit

I enjoy the artistic outlet that scrapbooking provides, but it's also all about capturing special memories. Our sweet daughter-in-law's grandfather recently passed away. This is one of her favorite photos of them together. They both look so happy waving at the camera. I gave this to Rachel for her birthday this week and she was so happy to receive it. She would like to display it in their home, so I'll be framing it for her. 

The gorgeous Kaisercraft papers with the memories sentiments couldn't be more perfect for this sweet page!
