Home For The Holidays Blog Hop!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Home for the Holidays Blog Hop! 

It was so much fun to create a holiday project just for this occasion and as I have 5 Iris/Micheal's cases full of Christmas themed product this was a great opportunity to use some of it up!

 I decided to repurpose an apothecary jar I used for a different project a number of years ago.

I began by cutting a white card stock circle, tracing it from the outside of the jar fo the base piece. The fact it didn't fit inside perfectly was great as I added Prima Snowflake paste to the peaks of the base to mimic snowdrifts.

I also added a piece of white card stock I spritzed with water and scrunched in my hands, adding snowflake paste along the top of it to the front of the jar to fill in the area and also create another snow drift. Another water spritzed, shaped and 'pasted' piece of card stock is the resting area for the first bottle brush tree on the right.

The large glitter snowflake is a die cut from the Merry & Bright Pink Paislee collection, I tied fishing line around it and adhered it to the inside top of the jar.

Here's a closer look at the paste along with the bottle brush trees, Fancy Pants from my copious Christmas stash ;). The large Christmas tree is hand cut from the paper base of the previous project I had in the jar and a mischievous elf from the Mama Elephant Elf Agenda is hanging from the top of the tree by his candy cane.

The Mama Elephant elves are frolicking in the snow enjoying winter fun with a snowman from the the Studio Katia Happy Snowman stamp set. I added Studio Calico wood veneer trees from my stash along the 'tree line' behind the snowman and scattered around the base.

Here's the view down into the jar from the top.

This was a very fun project to create and a fun decoration to add to my Christmas collection.

Little Santa Agenda Christmas Cards

Hello!

I am such a sucker for Christmas stuff, especially cute stamps to make cards😊.

I stamped a coloured a bunch of these images at the same time, the set has 19 images and 3 sentiment stamps.

{supplies: Mama Elephant Little Santa Agenda stamps and dies, Peek a Frame die; Sew Fancy Die; Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stamp; Hero Arts sentiment stamp and white pigment ink; Neat and Tangled sequins; Studio Katia crystals, American Craft glitter; Hot Off the Press acetate; Best Creations glitter paper; Bazzil Basics Countdown to Christmas patterned paper; Recollections(Michaels) white and green card stock; 3M Foam tape; Copic Markers; Sakura White Gelly Roll pen}

I have room to move in my closet now that I've wrapped all the gifts I've had "hidden" in there. 

The kids are well aware of my hiding place however I threatened them with physical violence if they dared to peek ;)). 

Thanks for looking!

December Daily 2012-the foundation

It's December 1rst marking the beginning of December Daily!!

This is my 3rd year in a row participating in this memory keeping project and I am also following along with Shimelle Laine's Journal Your Christmas.

My foundation pages are super, super simple this year and came together in one afternoon as I was asked to put this together for a scrapbook crop and retail show for Scrap Shotz.

I've used a Simple Stories red SN@P binder (6x8) which comes with 10 pocket page protectors, 3 chipboard dividers and 8 Sn@p pages. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get hold of the Simple Stories Handmade Holiday collection in time to put together these pages so I used last year's Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas. It is very similar in colour and feel to Handmade Holiday so I won't have a problem using the Handmade Holiday double sided journal cards and pockets with it.

Here is the cover:

The die cut piece is cut out of the patterned paper, sticker is from the same line. The stars are Studio Calico.

In putting together the actual pages I alternated one piece of paper with one pocket page insert. I've also assigned one day to the front of the page and the following day to the back. This does leave me room to insert extra pages if I have a long story to tell or more photos to add. It also takes the pressure off of me to try and fill a large area if the day has passed with little photos taken or not much going on.

Below are the first 5 pages, I think they give you a good idea what it looks like right now :)

I've also gathered together all my Christmas goodies including some new items I didn't really need but am looking forward to using in my book this year.

Thanks for taking a look and happy December Daily!!!

Christmas Cards vol.1

It is that time of year, Christmas card time! I can't remember how many years I've been making my own Christmas cards, at least 5 years. I still love doing them! I usually mass produce one or two designs but I've just purchased some super cool new product and with the help of the Card Crew challenges at Scrap Shotz, at least 7 people will get different cards from me this year, lol.

Here are my first two Christmas cards on the card making drive:

This tree is the small stacker tree by Dee's Distinctively dies which I have cut out of Elizabeth Crafts Green Metallic Shimmer Sheetz. I've used pop dots to pop it up and accented with Queen and Co. pearls.

This next card uses the same tree die,

which I have cut out of white cardstock adhered to double sided Sookwang tape, peeled off the liner to expose the sticky side and then covered with Glitter Ritz warm highlights glitter. The sparkle on this tree is just beautiful IRL.

More cards to come, thanks for looking!

More Christmas Cards

As promised, here are a few more cards I've completed recently.

There were also made from a Scrapshotz card kit using SEI papers.
Thanks for looking :)

Reindeer Christmas Cards

As I was going through my Christmas stash, I came across 3 Christmas card kits I purchased at Scrapshotz last year but didn't use. I had lots of fun with this one especially the cute reindeer stamp!

Just click on the slideshow to view, just trying to speed up the viewing process :)




This years card kits at Scrapshotz are all sold out but there is lots of inspiration in the gallery from this past weekends mini Christmas card crop. You can also view all the challenges here .
I'll have more cards to share in a couple of days!

Thanks for looking!

What's Next

Now that I've finished my December Daily foundation pages I'm wondering what to do next! I got all my Christmas cards done so I think I will try to make a dent in my stash! Have to pick up those 100+ photos I sent to the printers first ;)
In the mean time, here are a few Christmas cards I've created recently:

These two were made using packing tape and glitter! This last one was made for this challenge :

Feel free to join us at Scrapshotz to play along; I'll have some more cards to share in the next few days!
Thanks for dropping by :)
