Happy New Year

It's during the Christmas Season that I'm in the mood to do Christmas Scrapbooking or card making. So I guess I'll get a jump on cards for Christmas 2011!! These were made with old cards, remnants of gift wrap and bags - I think they turned out pretty nicely!

Happy New Year and Happy Scrapping in 2011

Merry Christmas

Well Christmas is almost here & I'm just really getting "into" making cards. In my days off during the holidays I'll probably be found spending free moments making more cards - there's always next year. I've watched my favourite movie "A Christmas Story" five times so far this season, the gifts are all wrapped and I've attended three Christmas parties - you'd think I'd be well and truly in the mood for Christmas. But alas, we have no snow. Maybe Santa will bring some. In any case I hope he brings me new scrapbooking supplies and toys. Thanx to you if you check out my blog - I hope you have the merriest of Christmases. Here are a few more of my Christmas cards ... these made with special people in mind.

Christmas Cards

About 2 weeks ago I put the push on to make some Christmas Cards. Some are my own totally original ideas, some are inspired by what some of you do and post on-line. All in all I'm pleased with the cards I've done this year - hope those on the receiving end enjoy them and know they were made with love!

Card Making

So

I've gone nuts these past few days making cards.

Nuts I say ... NUTS!

No really I have ... here a few samples.

Planning for Christmas

So Hallowe'en is done & it's time to prepare for Christmas. The past several years I've made cards for all those on my Christmas Card List - and that's no short list let me tell you! This year I'm not sure I'll be able to do it - I have scrapper's block again.

Last weekend I made a few tags and wrapped the gifts I've already purchased in hopes it would help get me in the mood. So far I have zero cards made. I really need to get my "Christmas On"

Here are pics of some of my tags & gifts.

Tis the Season ... to be spooky !

Decided to make a few Halloween Cards ... do people really send Halloween Cards?

These were made with scraps of card stock and dollarstore ribbons and flocked adhesive borders.

Have a Spooktacular Halloween!

Home Grown

Fall and Spring are the times of the year that I actually enjoy cleaning the house. Right now I'm taking a break and thought I share my latest layout which was inspired by the Frugal Scrapbooker article in the Fall edition of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. Our Province recently got hit by Hurricane Igor. Where we live we weren't too badly affected but a bunch of apples did blow off our single apple tree. I cut an apple in two and sprayed it with glimmer mists (forest green & red velvet) to make my own stamp for the apple border. I really like the way it turned out. All the paper used is by Bazzill Basics. Now back to the cleaning :( Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
