Holiday Frame

Good Morning!  Today I'm showcasing another picture frame I made for one of my sisters!  This frame I found at the Dollar Store and it's covered in black glitter!!  (It really sparkles in real life)  Of course, it's leaving glitter everywhere, lol :)

I used files from Scraptastical Kreations to embellish it.

Hot Cocoa!

Here's some gifts I made for my kids to deliver to their bus drivers and Sunday School teachers:

I used Sophisticated Scallops and A Polarized Christmas cutting files from Scraptastical Kreations.  They contain some homemade hot cocoa mix complete with either peppermint or french vanilla marshmallows - perfect for those cold winter days!!

Hello! I'm SOOO excited you're here! This is my first blog hop and I'm anxious to show you my project. I used cut files from Scraptastical Kreations (KISS Christmas & Ornaments) along with a Bugaboo Digital Stamp. My kids are certainly MY "Reason for the Season" and I'm sharing with you a mini-album I made of my own design featuring their Christmas portraits!

This is the front cover

of my album.

This is the back cover.

This is the first page opened to reveal the pictures.

Here is the album opened yet another page....

Here it is opened some more.....

And opened more....

 

Here's a close up of one of the inner pages.

Here's a close up shot.

Here's some of the photos on the back side.

Here's a view of how the album folds up....lots of room for pictures!

And another view from the top.

Here's the page that features the Bugaboo Digital Stamp Image - the nutcracker! I colored it with  Copic markers.

Here's the album totally opened.....

And here is the other side of the totally opened album.

Thank you so much for stopping by.....I hope you enjoyed seeing my project. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seaons Greetings and Happy New Year!!

Now it's time for you to head on over to Jens Blog Life Scrapbooked!
 

Thank you so much for hopping along with us today, and we all hope that you were filled with loads of Christmas joy, as well as loads of inspiration!

 

 

Sweet Season!

Good Morning.  Today I'm showing you a Christmas present I made for one of my sisters (I have 3 of them).  I purchased a photo frame at a rummage sale and thought I would "dress" it up.  She's got 2 "sweeties" (my niece and nephew) so I'm sure she'll be able to find some photos to put in it.

Here's some close up shots of the sweet little Ginger girls :)

 

I had this Christmas paper in my stash and decided it matched really well. You can find the files at Scraptastical Kreations!   Then I lucked out and found some coordinating stickers to embellish with.

 

Thanks for looking!

Bushel O Fun

Hello!

I'm sharing a page I made using the Bushel O' Fun file found at Scraptastical Kreations!  This 12x12 page will hold pictures from our apple picking, when I get them developed :)

Thanks for looking!!

  I hope you all had a good Turkey day and are enjoying time with loved ones!  We've traveled to  Wisconsin to visit relatives and the kids are LOVING it! 

Here's a layout I made using paper piecing cut files from Scraptastical Kreations.

This is a close up of the turkey, isn't he cute?

I also pieced the title banner as well!

 

If you are traveling over the holiday weekend, please be safe!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
