Christmas card album tutorial

I have just finished writing up a pdf of instructions for a Christmas card album tutorial I posted over at Stampamemory. (Hence my lack of creations for the past few days). Read below for details regarding my PDF tutorial.

Have you ever wondered what to do with your pile of Christmas cards once all the Christmas festivities are over? Well, I have a solution to that problem.  I have a tutorial available for purchase that allows you to keep all the Christmas cards, photos and newsletters all in one place that is easy to go back and look at, year after year. It also have space to keep an name and address list along with a sample of the card you sent out. The tutorial also makes use of the stickers in the I wish simply scrappin' kit along with step by step instructions for some punch art creations.

The Christmas cards album is simple enough for a beginner right through to an experienced scrapbooker to create. Even kids could have a go!

To complete the album you will require some basic supplies: paper cutter, paper snips, sticky strip and snail. I also used an on board art journal, I wish Simply Scrappin' kit, a few stamp sets, ink pads and some other miscellanous supplies. A full materials list is provided along with the step by step instructions.

To order your Christmas cards album tutorial for $10, please click on the Paypal link below (or on my personal blog) and you will receive a PDF tutorial in less than 24 hours.

Cheers,

Year in review tutorial instructions

Happy new year to all my readers. I hope that this is the beginning of a fabulous new year for all.

Seeing as it is the beginning of a new year, I have a tutorial available for you to purchase that will document a year in review easily. Now you could use this as a way to document the 365 days of this year, a babies first year (as my sample does) or a wedding countdown. The possibilities are endless. Each calender "page" has an envelope on the back which is perfect for storing small pieces of memorabilia as well as storing photos, journaling and other items between each calender "page". 

To complete the "year in review" it is super simple if you make use of a Simply Scrappin' Kit, forget-me-not keeper, full calender stamp set and calender alphabet and numbers stamp set. You will also need to use some additional supplies being snail, sticky strip, paper cutter and paper snips. I have also used nursery necessities stamp set, stampin' ink pads and sponge daubers to complete this project. All of these products are available to order from me, feel free to contact via phone or e-mail.

Calenders

Hi all, it's still a little silly season-ish around here.... I hope everyone has a great night tonight for the new year. Be safe not silly! I am off to my SIL's house around the corner (and the kids are having a sleepover!) Woo hoo... :D

Here are some calenders I made as gifts for my grandmother and my sister.

My grandmother's calender has a photo of her and all of her great grandchildren taken December 2008.

My sister's calender has a classic quote from Nikki asking "When can we go out for dinner for her birthday?"

"Ummm... your birthday is in October!" (She asked this in December.)

I have used a bunch of supplies from my stash but the Stampin' Up! materials used are listed below

Stamps: Baroque motifis, circles circus / Simple birthday thanks, family phrases

Cardstock: Rose red, whisper white, pink passion / creamy caramel, pink passion, chocolate chip, real red

Designer series paper: Raspberry tart

Punches: Large oval punch, photo corners, 3/4" circle, 1/2" circle

Accessories: Jumbo pewtar brad, 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon, brads, crystal effects

Also, don't forget about the inventory clearance. Stock is available until Jan 24th at reduced prices.

Merry Christmas

I want to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas. As I type this I am off to my SIL's place to sort out the stocking gifts we exchange as family. I have a couple of decorations left to finish for immediate family and I am done!!! Hubby, not so much.

I have a few things to share after Christmas which are calenders I made for family and some of my December daily. I am slowly working on it! Once the hustle and bustle of the season has settled down a bit I will be busting to come back and show it all to you. (I won't be back before the 27th as we celebrate boxing day with my family, lunch at Mum's (with my brother, sister, step brother and step sister plus all the kids!) and dinner at Dad's. (Tomorrow is lunch with mum at my sister's and dinner at the in-laws)

In the meantime, thank you for your visits, your comments and your support of my blog this past year. Have a wonderful Christmas, how ever you will be celebrating and I’ll see you all back here soon!

Dummy free household

As of tonight (Tuesday) we are a dummy free household. Bella gave her dummy to Aunty Fiona in exchange for a new stuffed toy Jaguar (just like Jaguar in Diego only it is from the Perth Zoo.) A huge milestone as we have had dummies in our house for the last 6 years. All that remains of them is the dummy chains. I am not going to waste them, I'd rather give them to someone that can get some use of our them. Not only this month did we give up the dummy, but we also no longer wear a nappy to bed.

My Bella Boo is a true big girl now.

MMM

I actually have no card to show you today as I have finished sending my Christmas cards and still had some spares!!! I am however using the free time today to make some progress on my december daily album. I have almost completed my first page. I will share when I have a few done.

I have decided to continue with my MMM next year. I will, however be taking a break during January and will resume MMM in on the 1st Monday in Febuary. In the new year, I will be offering instructions files each month for the cards I have made, similar to the 12 days of Christmas pdf I offered this year in November (which are still available if you'd like to purchase them).
