It's that time of year where I seem to need gift card holders.  But I as usual I wanted to try a new design.  I came across this one on Pinterest.  You can find the tutorial here.

Christmas Stamp A Stack

Once again I attended my Stampin' Up demonstrator's Christmas Stamp A Stack.  It is always such a great weekend.  She holds it over two night, a normal person would only go one of the nights.  But I like to go and enjoy both nights, and help out wherever I can.  Kathy had some fantastic cards for everyone this year to make.

I had a hard time getting a photo of this Very Vanilla card.  :)

Supplies: All Stampin' Up

SU - Club November

This month for Club we made some great projects...however, I only seemed to have photographed two of them...whoops.  I really like the second card that we made...I love the colors.

Elsa - So Serious

I just love this paper by Jillibean Soup!  It is so vibrant.  I really enjoyed looking at this set of pictures of Elsa.  I remember that she had been sleeping when we arrived at the park to meet up with friends.  She was so unimpressed to be woken up.

Simple Card

Back in October, just before I went to the Scrapbooking Retreat, I had ordered the Cricut cartridge "Artiste" from Close to My Heart.  At that time I also ordered a Christmas stamp set that went with the cartridge.  Here is my first try at using the cut image and the stamp image together.

Supplies: Paper: Bazzill, SU (Whisper White) & Recollections (Bright & Jolly); Embossing Folder: PC (Baby's Breath); Cricut: CTMH (Artiste); Stamps: CTMH (Very Merry Christmas); Ink: SU (Real Red); Stickles: Xmas Red; Ribbon: Celebrate It (Holiday); Rhinestones: Recollections; Punch: SU (Scallop Trim)

Using Some Scraps

 Recently I made a scrapbook page with this fun rainbow like paper.  I am one of those paper crafters who has a hard time tossing out the little extra pieces of paper.  But, I'm not very good at using those papers that I collect.  So, it was my mission today to make a Christmas card using some of those scraps.  I think the card looks way better in person.

Supplies: Paper: Bazzill & Jillibean Soup; Stamp: Northwoods; Cricut: Christmas Cheer; Rhinestones: Recollections; Ribbon: Celebrate It (Holiday); Marker: TH (Black Soot); Embossing Powder: Stampendous (Detail Black); Glitter: Ranger (Iced Rock Candy)

Elsa - Nine Months

Here's another layout for Elsa's book.  I struggled with this layout a bit, I just didn't know what to do with it.  I did use some cool Bazzill Pleated paper.  Sorry for the poor photo, I'm trying learn how to take better pictures of layouts, but it's not going great.

Supplies: Paper: Bazzill, Heidi Grace Designs, Provo Craft, Ki Memories; Punch: SU (Scallop Trim & Corner, Scallop Edge) & MS (Loops Hearts, Double Loop Corner); Cricut: Designer's Calenar; Ink: TH (Spun Sugar & Dusty Concord); Misc: Ribbon, Rhinestones, Ranger (Glossy Accents)

Four Flap Christmas Card

 The other day I was digging around in my Copics paper bag and I came across this unfinished card from last year.  Since I had a few minutes I decided that I would try and put it together.

Another Pinspiration Card

The other day I made a very similar card to this one.  I had a bunch of this paper sitting on the desk just waiting to be used.  I also think this is a pretty fun card to make and it's really pretty easy too.  You can find the instruction here.
