Rowena's Quick & Easy Crafting Tip
➊ One of the things that is very easy to do in scrapbooking but is not done often is tearing. The patterned paper in the layout is torn on both sides.
➋ Distress your photo mats with a distressing tool for added interest.

FREE SVG Monday: Gingerbread People
The night before Christmas we like to make gingerbread people. My 19 month old daughter was so happy to help mom in the kitchen. My son who used to love cooking with me is now too "old" for that he said. He did finally show up when the decoration was done and they were ready to eat. Even though he did not prepare it with the two of us while dad took pictures he really appreciated having a delicious treat made with love.
I had so much fun making those gingerbread people that I wanted to share that experience with you. The SVG today is very basic - a gingerbread shaped boy and girl. They are a canvas for you to create whatever your memories inspire you to do. This is how I used this week's design.
There are many way to decorate your gingerbread people. You can make it a simple or complex as you like.
➊ The white swirls on the boy was done using an embossing pen and embossing powder whereas the lines on the female was made by a white gel pen.
➋ Use stickles to draw on your project. I have learned that hard way that you should lightly pencil what you are going to draw with the stickles before you actually apply the stickles to the project..
❸ Be totally creative doing whatever you feel.

FREE SVG Monday: Ornament
Today's SVG design was inspired by Christmas. It is so much fun seeing all the decorations and the many ways people interpret Christmas. I decorated my Christmas tree in purple (my favorite color) and gold. So I designed this ornament to coordinate with mt decorations but as you know you can cut this SVG file in any color and any size to fit your needs.
➊ To add interest and dimension use dimensionals to pop up various parts of the design and add glitter. You can never go wrong with a little glitter.
➋ I included the word joy (not included in the SVF file) on the ornament for some added interest. You can personalize it to use as an ornament on a tree, on a card or a scrapbook page.
❸ When adhering items over glitter or slick surfaces make sure to use a strong adhesive such as glossy accents by Ranger or Gloo by KI Memories.

FREE SVG Monday: Wreath
Today's SVG design was inspired by my husband. Well, actually I asked him what I should design and he told me a wreath. You can make the wreath as big or as little as you like. I placed mine on my stocking and it looked great. I used dimensionals to pop up the various cuts as you will see in the second photo. I love designing 3-D designs for you. You can enjoy this design on any project.
➊ To add interest and dimension run your die cut through the embossing machine with you favorite embossing folder.
➋ For a little shine use Rock Candy stickles by Tim Holtz. It's not all glittery, it gives it just the right amount of shine.
I see that there are many download of the SVG files. If you complete a project using this free file send me a link of your project. I would love to see what you do with this SVG file.
