Merry Christmas

 
Happy Wednesday!
 
Last week I bought a Martha Stewart paper pad and I used one of the sheets to make this Christmas layout.
 
 
The Christmas tress were cut with the December 25th Cricut cartridge by Teresa Collins.  I added red Stickles to these beautiful trees.  The gingerbread are stickers by Recollections, and the bottom gift border was made with a Martha Stewart punch .
 
 
Merry Christmas was also cut with the same cartridge.
The photo mats were corner punched with the
Scallop 3-Dot punch by Martha Stewart.

Christmas Memory Tray

 

Good morning and welcome back!
 
After a wondrous Thanksgiving we're into the Christmas season.  Many of us have already starting decorating our homes and doing our Christmas shopping.  I love this time of the year.  I was able to finish this Christmas tray by
7-Gypsies.  At the end of my post I will show you my inspiration.
 
 
The beautiful bow was made by my friend Cecy @ http://cecygarcia.blogspot.com/
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I used so many different embellishments I lost track of where I got them.  The next picture is what inspired me to make my own tray and it was created by Sara at Scrappin' Time.
 

Thank you Sara for sharing your creativity.

Christmas Emporium Pop-up

 
Good morning friends!
 
I promised to show you another pop-up scrapbook page and here it is.  This one was done with Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium paper stack.
 
 
Once you open the layout it pop up's to reveal this scene. There's Santa placing all the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
   
 
 Here's the site where you can find a great tutorial to make this type of pop -up page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9znH6cyLExs&feature=relmfu
 
 
The days are slipping by fast and soon Christmas will be here.  Have you made any Christmas crafts yet? 
 I appreciate you stopping by.

Echo Park Chipboard Album

 
Good Wednesday morning friends!
 
I made a chipboard album by Echo Park Paper Company to share with you today. The pretty flowers were fuzzy cut from the Engraved Garden paper stack by K and Company.
 
 
Then I added my favorite embellishments--butterflies.  Each page has an interactive pull out tab for pictures.

 
 You can also place more pictures on each page.


The kit included three chipboard pages and the two rings.

 
The entire album was covered with the pretty Engraved Garden designer paper.  I hope you enjoyed this project.
 
Wishing everyone a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!

Sugar and Spice Pop-up Layout

 
Good morning friends!
 
Today I have a unique pop-up scrapbook layout which I borrowed from this site:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9znH6cyLExs&feature=relmfu 

 
The layout pops up to reveal the gingerbread village.  I used the Sugar Plums paper pad by Recollections which has some very cute gingerbread images.  The red mats are for pictures.

 
I fuzzy cut the gingerbread houses, used the snow marker by Marvy to add dimension and added Martha Stewart stickers.   
 
 
I really enjoyed making this layout and I've started another one which I will share with you later this week.

Getting ready for Christmas!

 
Happy Holidays to everyone!
 
This week I decided to decorate my house for Christmas.  I usually put up my 7-foot artificial tree, but this year I'm going to retire it after 27 years.  I replaced it with a small
 4-foot tree. 
 
 
My dining table is set, even though I don't know who will be coming for Christmas dinner yet.
 
 
I made these cute utensil tree holders last year.

 
I think my centerpiece came out lovely.
 
 
 I love the look of Poinsettias, so most of my decor is centered on these beautiful flowers.
 
 
Opps, spoke to soon.  My wreath sort of looks out of place because its purple, so I may have to revamp it with red Poinsettias and red ribbon.  I can't remember if I made this wreath last year or the year before but its a keeper.  I'll just have to change the colors.
 
Thanks for allowing me to share my home with you.  Have a very blessed weekend.
