Are you one that changes your Christmas decor year after year???  Or do you have the same stuff you've had for years???  I'm somewhere in the middle!  I have some things that I've had for years and others that are new!  I just spent the last 2 days decorating my house, inside and out, for Christmas.  I'd like to share a couple of my new creations for this year :)  AND a couple of old favorites :) This is a canvas I made!  I printed some Christmas music on paper, then mod podged onto a canvas.  The ornament was cut with my neighbors Silhouette machine, in CTMH Ruby and Black.  Then I used the Silver Glitz Gel along the edges and top.  I then sponged some desert sand reinker along the edges of the canvas.  (Unfortunately, this did not make it up in my house :(  It was for a silent auction, I donated it.) Ho Ho Ho Blocks- This is part of the Block set.  I covered all 6 sides with the different Holidays- this was the C...

I am completely finished scrapbooking Christmas 2010!!!  YES, this past Christmas! HOW??? You ask? Well, first of all, I really don't like scrapping Christmas.  There are a few "events", tons of pictures, lots of things to journal about...... I think really the problem is that by the time I get to it mid-year, I am not that into it and have forgotten the memories :( SO, I decided (after some inspiration from Erica and Barbra ) that I would just go ahead and do it now, while its fresh.  AND thanks to Studio J, I was able to get the bulk of it done FAST! What I did was go through the Mistletoe and Wings Workshop Kits and decided which pictures would go in those.  Then I chose some of my favorite pictures to scrap traditionally as well.  Then I started uploading all the rest into Studio J!  Here we go (part 1)   Studio J- Mistletoe Kit   Traditional- Mistletoe, All the Best Traditional- Wings Workshop Kit- main layout.  Bohemian...

Merry Christmas !!!!!!!! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas with your loved ones and Santa brought you all you wanted!  Mine was perfect! Here is the December layout from my calendar this year!  The large picture is what we used on our Christmas cards this year (from Costco). I'm looking forward to a Scrappy New Year!

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....
