Scrapbooking from Christmas' Past

These are two scrapbooking pages I did years ago but I thought I would share them since the theme is Christmas. It's fun to look at our pages and see the old memories. I wish I could scrapbook all of life's memories but I guess that's not possible so I will just have to settle for a few.

Merry Christmas everyone.

My Digital Studio

These are my first attempts at the Digital Studio that Stampin Up offers. It was fun to create my own pages. Honestly it did take me awhile to get going and get use to the system. I plan to spend more time creating with it.

The pages are both of my neice Elizabeth. I enjoy her coming over to visit as we get to do "girl stuff". Making the dog biscuits for Christmas was a fun time. Elizabeth loved mixing and cutting the shapes out. The results, Lulu and her dog friends loved them!

Cookies in a Jar

These are my cookies in a jar I made this year. I think they make a quick & easy gift. We all have those people in our lives that we would like to get a little something but not sure what to get so these cookies in a jar are great for those people. I got this recipe from the bakerella website. It's the cowboy cookies. I just changed the pink M&M's to Christmas ones instead.

Reindeer Oats

I got this idea from another stamper so I can't take credit for it but here is my version. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

Paper: Close to Cocoa, White, Black & real read

Ink:Close to Cocoa, sponged along sides of top note and eye lids

Stamps: none

Punches: 1 inch circle, 1/4 inch circle

Misc: big shot, top note die, twigs from my lilac tree, cello bags from SU, oats & chunky glitter added to oats. White gel pen, crystal effects to glue twigs

Last of the Christmas swaps

These are the last few cards that I ha ve received in a swap that I did with some other demos. I loved them all but I must admit that the pink/burgundy card above is my favorite. I hope you enjoy viewing the cards.

These are a few of the cards that I received from some very talented demos. Thought I would share them with you.

Bride Speciality Paper technique

I cannot take credit for the design of this card. I found it on Stampin Up but I recreated it as I wanted to show you a cool technique using the Bride Speciality Paper. All you need is an ink colour and a sponge dauber. Just rub the inked up dauber over the paper and done!! Simple and easy. You can use any colour so ideas are endless. Hope you have some fun trying this out!

All products used are Stampin Up

This is a page we will be doing in my November stamping club. I love the colour combo. I saw a pattern paper somewhere on the web and here is my version using my Stampin Up stuff. My saying, was just printed of my computer onto vellum cardstock. I find myself using black and white photos because it makes the colour of the paper pop

Paper: dusty durango, black, white, basic grey & crushed curry, cardstock vellum

Stamps: Baroque, Great Friends

Ink: same as paper

Punches: different circle sizes , scallop circle

Misc: crushed curry polka dot ribbon, brads

Christmas in the heart card

I wanted make a card that was fairly simple for a stamp card that I had and I didn't want to use red/green so this is what I came up with. Thanks for stopping by.
