Must be Christmas

I love the song Must be Santa by Raffi - we play it alot in our house at Christmas and my son is playing it at his Christmas piano recital this year.  When I was making a mini album for a family member I wanted a different title and the song was playing so I thought "Must Be Christmas" would be perfect for this mini.

Head on over to the Bind-It-All blog to see more details of this mini I made using the Peppermint Collection from Crate Paper.

Christmas Tags

I am so excited to be sharing some tags I made over at the Echo Park Paper blog today.  I loved playing with the whimsical Holly Jolly Christmas collection and these tags were so much fun to make.

Stop by the Echo Park Paper blog and check them out.

Oh Christmas Tree

I made these really cute Christmas Trees for my mantle with my Bind-It-All and some patterned paper.  Head on over to their blog to see the details.  You could make these as stars, ornaments, just about any shape and your imagination!

Winter Wonderland

This time of year I am so busy making gifts and cards for everyone, it's crazy but fun!  Here is a card I made with the Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas collection.  I love the colors and the whimsical designs.

Christmas Photo Shoot

Instead of going to get the kids portraits done professionally every year I take the photos myself - we always end up cracking up halfway through the shoot and having a great time.

Here's some of the outtakes from this years shoot:

Hope you are having as much fun as they are :)
