December Daily book 2015

 

Last year I made a countdown to Christmas book (sometimes called December Daily) and journalled and took pictures everyday from December 1st until Christmas. This was a VERY fun project becuase last year we were in the Bahamas for a family wedding starting on December 1st and my eldest daughters birthday is actually Christmas Eve!

I recently JUST finished the book from last year so this year I thought I would get a head start on the book and try and put pictures in it and journal everyday (or couple of days, lets get realistic here!) instead of doing it almost a year later! (on of my days I had written "got hair done" and had NO pictures....tell me, how am I going to be creative with that one!) 

So, two weeks ago my good friend, my daughter and I went on a day crop and I actually started my book!

Here is a peek of the front cover and the first page.......the interior will not be fully completed with all the embellishments until I actually put pictures in it but mostly finished.....

 This year I used an amazing album by Simple Stories for my book. It is a three ringed binder and has plenty of room! Last year I used the CTMH book which they discontinued (boo!) 

I used CTMH glitter papers, Thickers and some cute wooden embellishments from Michaels for the front cover.

For my interior page which I will put a picture of my two Girls I used papers and PML cards from CTMH from the White Pines Collection. Most of my book will be using this paper and colour theme. (cranberry, fern, colonial white and bamboo). I layered the papers, added some White Pines assortment pieces and did some splattering with my Tim Holtz Distress Spray.

In the coming days I will update you with the rest of my pages I have completed!

Thanks for looking!

Pickle Thank you Gift!

This past weekend I hosted a crop here in my house where a bunch of Ladies brought their stuff and either Scrapbooked or did Card making!

Every time I put on a Crop I like to make a little gift to thank the Girls for coming and put it with their little gift.

This time I used an awesome stamp set from Your Next Stamp called: Dill-ightful ( I have been dying to use it because it has the most adorable pickle figures and is so darn cute!)

 I found these really cute mini packages of cinnamon Tic Tacs, measured cardstock and scored it until it formed a housing for the pack. Then rounded the corners and adhered the candy with a glue dot. Then I stamped the pickle image and cut it out with the matching Pickle  die and added Liquid Glass to the eyes. When the glue was dry I put it on the base and secured everything with a piece of washi tape.

A whole bunch later, here are the results! SO cute don't you think!

Here is a pic of the stamp set by YNS

October Cupcake Challenge

  Your Next Stamp is one of the sponsors for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge! 

This challenge starts on October 11th! 

Here is the inspiration for Challenge #331

 

Since the theme is fall, I really wanted to make something for the Thanksgiving table and what better way to celebrate than with cupcakes! I created this cupcake box using my Cricut, some different coloured cardstock and acetate. For the matching tag I used a stamp set by YNS called Piles of Smiles  and the matching dies then coloured it with Copic markers.
