Getting Ready for the New Year

2012 is almost here; are you ready? For my post today for Glitz Design, I decided to pull out some photos from our last New Year's Eve. I used a mix of from the three latest collections to create this fun page.

These photos crack me up, Emily thought she had to blow till her cheeks hurt for it to be loud enough, LOL! Here's a couple of close-ups,

Next, I created a journal as a very special gift for a friend who likes all things shabby and girlie. To create my journal, I cut two pieces of chipboard, regular copy paper and a few sheets of pattern paper to 8.25"x5.25" and bound everything together with my Cinch.

I used the Beautiful Dreamer collection and added a Tim Holtz book plate and rosette trim with lots of images cut out of the paper collection.

I kept the inside very simple as I want the recipient to be able to journal and maybe adhere ephemera or photos throughout the book.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year filled with many blessings for you and your family.

Hugs,
Jolaine

Holiday Wishes

Hello dear friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend filled with blessings, family and  loved ones. I couldn't have asked for a better holiday and now I get to enjoy a whole week off from work at home!

Here's a few photos to share...

I managed to get this one of the kids outside wearing their Santa hats. It's soooo hard to get a good shot of both of them at the same time! LOL!

I had to bribe Dylan to sit on Sata's lap for this one at the mall, he was so afraid of him!

Cookies and milk for Santa. They couldn't figure out Santa's favorites so we went with shortbread and chocolate chip :)

Oh the anticipation! I had them hold still on the staircase on their way downstairs long enough to get this adorable shot. Dylan smile's as funny as it gets!

That's all for today. I do have lots of crafty projects to share in the coming days, in the mean time, have a healthy and creative end of the year!

Photo Redo

Hello again! Just a quick post today as life seems to get busier as Christmas appraches. Only 10 days away!!!! Anyway, I'm sharing a layout I created for last month's Prima BAP. I totally forgot about it until I saw featured on their blog along with other beautiful projects.

I hardly ever scrap myself but I LOVE this picture of Emily and I. This is a redo of this other LO created some time ago.

I used the gorgeous Printery collection with a new vintage treasures and resin piece. Here's a closer look...

Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!
