Daily December Journaling

Image
Christmas is fast approaching and I want to really document it well this year.  Though I had heard of Ali Edwards' December Daily a couple of years ago, I really didn't know what it was.  Last year as I learned a little more, I put together a little (and simple) album.  This year, I am ready to give it a try.  This video gives more information and it also talks about a little giveaway that I'm doing on YouTube.  Be sure to watch it for a chance to win.  My current plan is to update you weekly on my progress so come back soon to see how it is coming together. Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Fall Themed "Thankful for You" Card

This card was actually posted some time ago on YouTube and I just realized that I never posted it here.  I use a lot of thank you cards so I try to keep them on hand.  I love to coordinate them with the season so I knew it would be perfect for this project. Here's what I used Sangria Paper Pack (retired) September 2016 SOTM (retired) Goldrush cardstock   (Or part of the Enchantment pack) Colonial White cardstock Cricut Artbooking cartridge Colonial White cardbase Autumn Teracotta Exclusives Ink (retired) New England Ivy cardstock (Or part of the Enchantment pack above) Wink of Stella glitter pen Xyron sticker maker foam tape Be sure and watch the video to see how this card was made and to get a Cricut tip for cutting the pumpkin.

Swan Lake Workshop Your Way

Image
Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Workshops Your Way from Close To My Heart?  Okay, you're right and I have.  However,  I just can't get over how great these kits are.  There is so much you can do with them.  When you add items, the kits become even greater.  I have set a goal to use everything in the kit by the end of November.  We will see.  Even after creating everything you see in the video, I still have quite a few pieces left in the kit.  In fact, I think that I may still have an entire piece of paper left of my favorite print of the kit. Here are the items that you will need to complete the kit in the way I did: Swan Lake Workshop Your Way Thankful For You Thin Cut Bundle Page Protectors (Pocket Plus Design 1) Page Protectors (Pocket Plus Design 3) Flip Flaps (4X6) Goldrush Exclusive Ink Pad Whisper Exclusive Ink Pad Poppy Exclusive Ink Pad Peacock Exclusive Ink Pad White Card Bases Foam Tape You will also need some "Page Protectors" (12X
