When I saw the Maya Road envelopes at Anthologies, I couldn't pass them up. They were all so cute! I decided to use them to create a mini album. I used Making Memories Just Chillin' paper and die cuts to cover the envelopes and make the tags. It was a bit of work but I think it was worth it.
Just wanted to share a few pictures of my December Daily. After looking at the Flickr group of the December Daily's, I realized that mine is very different from others. I created mine out of lunch bags and I embellished my pages much more than the others. I plan on doing most of my journaling on tags that will slip into the bags.
I used a few different paper lines including Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly, Making Memories Mistletoe, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses and DCWV Christmas paper stack from a couple of years ago.
I've had my Earth Love paper for a while but was busy with other things and finally got around to making a mini out of it. I LOVE this line from Cosmo Cricket.
How are the December Daily's coming? I have my pictures printed out but still need to work on the journaling. I know the point is to take time each day to take the photo, print the photo and do the journaling but I'm doing well just getting the pictures taken. =)
My little one is walking now so she's keeping me quite busy. But I have managed to get a few things created. When I started working on my December Daily for this year, I realized that I wanted to create one for last year since that's when Ella was born. So this is what I came up with. I joined a Christmas Tag swap at Life on the {Scrap}beach .
Below is my creation. I used my Cricut and the Christmas Cheer cartridge to make the tag itself, the tree and the gift. I used stickles to dress up the tree and the ribbon on the gift. Then I embossed the to and from. I'm excited to see what tags I get back!
I have a few other things to share but I'll save them for another post. I hope you all are enjoying this holiday season. I am looking forward to spending time with family and eating good food. =)
Hey there! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. My sister always throws a big bash. Last year her theme was the 70's. This year it's the 80's. I can't wait to get all dressed up in my neon shirt, leg warmers, and wear my hair in a pony tail on the side! This year's party is going to be a blast.
I decided to make the mini album before the party this year because I just finished the mini album for last year's party this summer. Yeah, I was a little behind. :)For this mini I used Bo Bunny's Boo Crew Halloween paper & flowers, stickles, Tim Holtz's Grungeboard & Distress Crackle Paint, Martha Stewart's spider web felt ribbon & Drippy Goo punch, a couple Jenni Bowlin mini bingo cards, American Crafts Halloween ribbon & Thickers, and a Maya Road sheer mini album. I hope you like it.
My sister and I went to the opening day of a new scrapbook store in our area, Anthologies, and I got to meet Lisa from Craft Craving Chicas. I can't believe we we were all crazy enough to try shopping on opening day!Lisa is super nice and has a great website that offers mini album kits for a very reasonable price.
