On the first day of Christmas... :-)

Hi everyone! 

I have seen many 12 Days of Christmas, 25 Days of Christmas, and December Daily projects all over bloggy world and Instagram so I decided to give it a try. 

My goal is to do "12 Days of Christmas" but if I can keep up with 25 even better! 

I haven't done layouts in a LONG time and I couldn't find my mojo, but I was able to make this quick easy layout. I might add tags or a little something later on. 

I still haven't mastered photographing layouts, but working on it :-) 

Deets: 

"Sweet Holiday Wishes" is from Winter Frolic. 

Penguin - Create a Critter.

Santa Hat - Pooh and Friends (It's flipped) and has Crystal stickles. 

Face on Penguin - Peachy Keen's Critter Faces 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Merry Christmas - Tree Box

Hi everyone! Today is my day to post over at Joy's Life design team blog and this week we are showcasing bags and boxes. I made a "tree box" to use as a stocking stuffer and I absolutely love it! 

This little gem of a box is found in Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. I had totally forgotten it! 

The snow cutie is from Winter Frolic cartridge. 

The sentiment is from Joy's Life Wintery Puns stamp set. 

 The tree box is deep enough to hold quite a few "baby" snickers and a few peppermints. 

The face on the snow cutie is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes stamp set. 

 

Just a quick tip: Save your cartridge clam shells! :-) You can reuse it for your boxes :-)  

This beautiful pattern paper is from DCWV's Four Seasons stack.

tree-mendous wishes for a sparkling holiday season

Hi everyone! Over at Joy's Life design team blog you will be seeing cards all week long! Also, in case you missed the Tags & Bags blog hop you can still hop along HERE. 

I know Thanksgiving is just around the corner, but so is Christmas! I'm trying to not fall behind on my cards this year so I've been getting a head start. 

For my card I used the brand new stamp set Oh, Christmas Puns. I just love it! 

This cute little tree is from the Winter Frolic cartridge. 

 Here is a closer look at the sentiment. Get yours HERE. 

Here's a close up of the tree. :-) I used Crystal stickles to create the glitter border. 

 I used Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink to ink around the edges. 

 I'm not sure if you can see, but I used foam tape to give the mats some dimension. 

 Take a look at the new stamp set. You can get yours HERE. 

Have a fun, crafty day!
