Christmas Memory Journal Album

So here is my project....a double sided journal/album for you to fill with your personal pictures and journaling from Christmas!  There are a ton of pictures to look at because I wanted you to be able to see each and every page.  The album is 11" wide, 9 1/2" tall and 3 1/4" thick.  It has 22 pages for you to personalize, plus the whole back large area.  Each of the 10 middle pages have 2 tags inside each page for you to pull out and add journaling and/or messages there too!  So there are a total of 20 tags with pull ribbons attached.  I hope you like and enjoy~there was a lot of time and love put into this!

The album stays closed with the tied ribbon

Bat Treat Cones

These adorable Bat Cones come from a kit called Party On Elm Street from SVGCuts!  Aren't they just cute!  I did embossing on his wings to give it a creepy look and feel.

Haunted House

I never got around to posting my halloween stuff I did...so here goes!  This AWESOME house comes from an SVGCuts kit called Elmhurst hollow SVG Kit.  What a file!!  Just amazing!!  I pretty much just followed the whole kit.  I added some glittery spiders, cats and pumpkins.  I embossed the wood planks and did lots of inking.  You have to try this house out...it is so easy to put together.

Countdown to Christmas Wreath

This was so much fun to create, and I can't wait to use it with my family! 

I did something a little different with this Build-a-Project wreath from Creative Kuts. I made it into a Countdown to Christmas wreath with 25 "cones". Every year, our family always does a countdown. I write on little pieces of paper and we do something simple each night...play a game, make special hot cocoa, sing Christmas songs, drive to look at lights, etc. It helps us come together as a family... each night, even if it is super simple. The paper I write on usually goes into another countdown decoration I have, but this year, I willl use this wreath! I think I will just tape the pieces of paper behind each cone and they will take turns pulling one off each day. (or I could make little pockets for the papers...hmmmm...)

 

The numbers are glitter stickers and and the little snowflakes are foam stickers. I just cut out white circles, stuck on the numbers and then hot glued them to the snowflakes.  There is a ribbon in the back (hot glued) to hang the wreath from. I did some inking to the edges and added a few sparkly gems, and of coures added highlights with the awesome gel pen. Don't forget the buttons and twine!  The words are just printed on cardstock.  I think it turned out pretty cute! 

 

The wreath svg (just the "cone" part) is from Creative Kuts and was free for those doing the weekly Build-a-Project.  I added 25 cones to adapt to my Countdown to Christmas.  The large snowflake is from SVGCuts from the Snowflakes SVG Mini Pack.  The snowman is from Creative Kuts from the Snowman Gift Card Holder.

Hello Kitty Purse

I was asked to make these purses for "goodie bags" for a fashion Birthday Party and I needed to make 25 of them!  Whew!  I kept them fairly simple (lol...yeah right!) since I needed to make so many.  The adorable purse is from SVGCuts Amelie's Accessories SVG Kit.  The bow is from My Grafico/LaLaStudio.  The bows are so cute and so easy!!! The Hello Kitty face is from a Cricut Cartridge.  At the party, the girls names were written under the kitty face in black ink.  The white stitching was done with a white gel pen. I love those pens!!!  I made half of the purses pink and half were purple.  I also added just a few bling details to add that little extra...it was a Fashion Show after all!!  (You can see the invitations that went with these HERE)

JOY album

This was a free svg Build-a-Project from Creative Kuts.  We got a different svg every so often to complete this project.  Some of the basic shapes were cut from SCAL2.  It was fun to do!  Just need to add some pictures and do some journaling in all the little blank areas.
