Christmas Card

 It's hard to believe that Christmas is this weekend and a New Year is upon us.  This card was made by Gina K on one of her videos.  I thought is was really nice and loved how it could be made with different greetings, so I made these for Christmas.  

The card was made with her Floral Border die set.  I blended different colors on white CS and cut it out with the outline die.  Then I used the flower die and cut it in black and glued it on top.  I love how it turned out.  Every time it will be a different blend depending on the colors you use.

I outlined my panel with black and used her Master Layouts #1 for the ovals.  I don't have many stencils, but I decided to blend the background with light grey and used part of her Bodacious Bloom set.  My sentiment was from the Perfect Poinsettia stamp set. 

Things have been hectic around here.  All of Margaret's came down with Covid.  The baby got it first and then one by one the whole family got it.  Margaret had it the worst and had to get medicine for it.  Fortunately, the rest of us had not been with them since Thanksgiving so we weren't exposed.  Joe had to have some surgery last week and is scheduled for another one in January so our Christmas gathering will have to wait.  For all our friends and family, we want to thank you for your well wishes and wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I'm going to be taking some time off from crafting and will see you next year some time.

Halloween Scrapbooks

 I have been very remiss on my scrapbooking, so I decided to make some simple scrapbooks for Jennifer and the baby when I saw how cute the Halloween pictures came out.  I saw this video over at Patty's Stamping.  She made her books 5"x 5" but I made my a little bigger 6"x 6" and added more pages.  I love how she changed up the books for different occasions.  

Here is the cover.  This was a great project to use up some old DSP I had laying around.  I used SU's Large # Framelit Die and the Outline Halloween Die set I used on my Halloween cards.  I also made witches hats for each scrapbook.  They were so popular years ago and I thought they would be perfect for this project.  The extra hat on the cover is from my sticker stash.

Here is my first set of pages.  I cut DSP and adhered over the pages and mounted the pictures and added some more Halloween stickers and journaling.  Here are the rest of the pages.

I was so happy how they turned out.  I made Jennifer's using her school pictures and her birthday party pictures as well.  These came together pretty quick.  I printed these pictures at Walmart's instead of sending them away which made it quicker to get started.  I hope to still do my larger scrapbooking but these will do for now.  I let Jennifer decorate her own pages as well which gets her involved in the process.

Twenty days until Christmas and I am nowhere ready!  Too much going on and too much to do!  We'll see if I get some Christmas cards ready!
