Still managing to keep up with the Layout A Day challenge, although I realize it is only Day 4! I’ve been too lazy to dig out all my paper, adhesive, stamps, and embellishments, so I'm sticking with the digiscrapping for the moment. That’s probably my favorite part about it—it is largely mess free. I’ll have some details on the new Stampin’ Up! Spring-Summer Collection catalog in the next day or two. They’re running a Valentine’s bundle promotion that I will tell you about as well. In the meantime, a couple of Christmas layouts to share.
Both pages feature images from Shabby Princess’ “Twas the Night” kit. The first page I created from scratch, and used the font Didot for the text. The second page is a Piece-A-Cake quick page that was included with the kit. Font is Cheryl by FontGarden.
Here are a couple of projects from last month that I neglected to post. The first is a shot of the three cards created in last month’s Stamp A Stack class. The participants created 5 each of the cards, for a total of 15 ready-to-mail Christmas cards!
The next is the gift I made for all my daughters’ teachers this year. The tin and the stamp set (Holiday Treats) are from Papertrey Ink, and the cardstock, ink, brads, and patterned paper (Wintergreen) are from Stampin’ Up! These were soooo easy to make. Just stamp on standard address labels and wrap them around Hershey’s nuggets candy. Add a stamped greeting, and voila! Instant gift!
Are you making your own cards this year? I make mine every year, and it always seemed like I would start somewhere around the 15th of December. Not recommended! This year, I've been taking a class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking called "Giving Well in Two Hours or Less." It’s fantastic! Loads of very reasonably priced and easily produced handmade gift ideas, including the first project, holiday cards. These are the cards we worked on for the class. I’m so proud of myself — I’ve got a good stack of cards finished before the end of November! I think that’s a personal record.
If you’d like to get a start on your handmade holiday cards, I’ll be holding a Stamp-A-Stack card class on Saturday December 8 at 9:30am. You'll be making 15 cards — 5 each of 3 different designs, including envelopes, for $20. Call or email before Monday Dec. 3 to sign up. (The cards in the photos will not be on the menu!)
