New Year's Wish

Goodbye 2013 - Hello 2014!  Happy New Year!

Instead of a resolution this year I am going to make a New Year’s Wish! 

 

I am making one of these little confetti packs for all my friends, we all get together on New Year’s Eve with our kids and have a big party. 

Inside the confetti pack is a little journaling card for them to write down their New Years Wish for 2014. 

 

Happy New Year – I wish all of you a wonderful 2014!

Saying Goodbe is hard to do!

Today the 2013 Imaginisce Design Team is saying goodbye to make way for the new 2014 team.

 

I have had an amazing year with Imaginisce and count my blessings every day that I got to work with such a wonderful company. Today I would like to say thank you to Imaginisce for the opportunity to design for them and to be a part of their awesome team.  The design team led by Cari Locken were such a fun group of ladies I will miss you all!

To celebrate we are showcasing two of our favorite projects from this year which was no easy task as I loved all of their collections this year and had so much fun designing with them.

 

For my first project I picked my ”Adventures if Nick” mini album that I made using my favorite collection this year, Colors of Christmas.  This collection was so cute and the colors were fabulous!

 

For my second project I picked the Minecraft Buttons I made for my son using my favorite tool, the i-top.  This tool is awesome!  I loved being able to make buttons, brads, magnets, you name it. 

 

 

Thanks again to Imaginisce for everything!

 

Special Visit from Santa

Every year we get a special visit from Santa close to Christmas.  We are so lucky to have this Santa share his joy and happiness with us.  It's always a special time.  Here is he is with the boys last year.

 

This layout was part of the Layout Tag over at Scrapbook Nerd, I loved using all the patterned paper strips and the glittery red Thickers are one of my favorites.

Tis the Season

Pretty soon I will be decorating my house for Christmas, I can't wait!  We always get a real tree for Christmas and decorate it with colorful lights and all the ornaments we have collected and the kids have made over the years.

 

I did a quick pocket style page about decorating the tree using the Simple Stories December Documented collection from Scrapbook Nerd. 

 

I created the  middle tree by punching strips of paper with an edge punch then layering them and cutting it into a triangle.

Simple Stories Cards

To use up the rest of my Scrapbook Nerd kit I made some really easy and fun cards.

 

For the first card I used one of the fun journaling cards and matted it on a white cardstock card.

 

 

I added one of the stickers for the sentiment and a jingle bell to the hat of the snowman.

 

 

The second card is also a journaling card mounted onto a white cardstock card base.

 

To decorate this card I added some twine and sequins to the flowers.

 

I loved how easy these cards were to make.

More December Mini Album Pages

I love this album style so far this year for my December Mini Album and I am thinking it would make a good album to do a small version of Project Life next year.

 

Where we live we don't get a lot of snow so it's always fun when we do.  Even the eagles (we have a bird sanctuary near by and see them all the time) were out frolicking in the snow,  what a sight!

 

I colored the wood veneer with Mr. Hueys brown and Heidi Swapp Gold color shine.

 

We made lots of treats this week.  Rice Crispy sleighs for a We bake sale at school and we also made our gingerbread house too.

 

I am loving the colored paper clips and have used them on almost every page.



 



 

We went and picked out the tree this week, we picked a beautiful one.  Can't wait to see it decorated.  Linden also lost three teeth this week so we had a few visits from the tooth fairy.

 

Love adding sequins to pockets - so pretty.

 

How is your December Mini Album going?

Christmas Tree Card

One of my favorite ways to make Christmas cards is to make these fun layered trees from punches and pattern papers.  For this one I used all the different Epiphany Craft Shape Studio Tools I had in my stash and punched them from the Lawn Fawn paper.

 

 

Then I layered them and cut it out into a triangle.

 

 

To finish it off I added a star with the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Star 25 and coordinating Bubble Cap.

 

 

I added the sentiment with stamps and the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Pennant 25 and coordinating Bubble Caps.
