All Done With Christmas

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to have finally finished my Christmas layouts for this year. Am I the only one still working on holiday pages? I had purchased the Father Christmas collection by Pink Paislee and would have felt really guilty if I had not used it. Love these distressed papers and thought they were perfect to whip up a couple layouts of my son. I made two layouts, one for our 2009 album and one for his first year album as well.

Pink Paislee Artisan Swirls were so much fun to work with! I painted them with acrylic paint to get this olive green shade. I also inked all the edges with my Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Love the smoky look without adding too much black.

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you liked these projects. Have a great weekend!

Sweet Season - Flamingo Scraps

Hello everyone! Here's a layout I created using Webster's Pages Sweet Season paper collection, which is available at Flamingo Scraps. As you know I love their online store because of their incredible selection and amazing prices.

These are my two munchkins so proud of the gingerbread house they made this year. They didn't seem able to keep their hands off the icing!

I covered the house images with Rock Candy Distress Stickles and added Glitter Snow for texture. Are the candy sprays familiar? They're from Michael's floral section!

These alphas are from Jillibean Soup. They were blue so I painted them white and inked them with Antique Linen Distress Inks and topped them with Glitter Snow. 

Be sure to check out Flamingo Scraps. Hint, hint, be on the lookout for their Glimmer Mist section featuring the hard to find, discontinued colors we all fell in love with!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas Wish Mini Album

Hello everyone! I know it's the end of January but I just got finished making my Christmas mini album. I am sooo behind in Christmas projects but I'm determined to use all the holiday supplies I acquired this year!

For this mini, I used a chipboard book and frame I got at Michael's dollar bin. The paper collection I used was the Webster's Pages 6x6 combo which includes Sweet Season and Waiting For Santa.  I wanted to create an album to hold photos of our entire Christmas 2009. This little mini is jam-packed with pockets and tags and holds a total of 45 photos! Each page displays pictures of our family traditions during the holidays.

I just love the 7Gypsies Naked pockets. I added one here and punched holes to make it into a page!

I bound this pocket in a landscape orientation and hid inside a 'mini within a mini' with a series of photos of my children opening and playing with their presents on Christmas Day 2009.
