The first paper collection in our November – December catalog is cheerful and fun. The Jingle Joy papers, stickers, PML cards and embellishments feature the trendy color combination of Clover, Flamingo and Raspberry. Even though this is a nontraditional holiday color combination, the icons and sentiments will help you get into the Christmas season. With the year we’ve had in 2020, we need this boost of fun & festivity!
As it gets cooler outside, I know it won’t be long before winter weather is here. On those days, I enjoy viewing the beautiful snowy scenes from inside my cozy home. When I made this card, I pictured myself cuddled up with my favorite robe and slippers while watching the snow flutter to the ground.
Some awesome discounts and deals are coming your way with the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales!
I’m so excited to finally have my personal website back up and going! I’m excited to have more options for selling online on my new platform. One of the best things about this new site is to be able to sale my inventory online. Like most of you, Covid has kept me close to home in 2020. Events where I would normally vend have been canceled or minimized. I miss seeing all of you and helping get fun new products into your creative little hands!
Bring some personalized rustic beauty to your holiday festivities with the wooden ornaments and tags in the Merry Little Christmas special! With a variety of ornament and tag options, you can choose which ones fit your celebrations best. The included SVG files allow you to match any decor and theme!
At my Idea Book launch in September, we created a Tis The Season Double Quad Fold Album. I posted a picture and have had several requests for directions. Here’s a video showing how it all comes together.
The greenery, bows and poinsettia (on belly band) were cut on my Cricut using images from the Seasons of Joy Collection. Click here to open the file in Design Space.
Here are the measurements to create the album just in case you missed them in the video. The base of the album is made with 6 pieces of cardstock (I used black).
– 12″ x 6″ (2)
– 6″ x 6″ (2)
– 4″ x 6″ (1)
Assembly:
Score both 6″ x 12″ pieces at 2″, 4″ 8″ and 10″.
Then cut 1.5″ from each of the long sides starting at the 2″ score mark and ending at 10″.
The top and bottom 1.5″ sections are folded at all four of the score marks alternating “mountain” and “valley” folds. These two sections are folded the same. The center section is only folded at 4″ and 8″ and these will be the opposite direction as the outer pieces.
Turn one of these pieces 180 degrees and lay them end to end — touching but not overlapping. Here’s a sample made with White Cardstock so it is easier to see.
Cover the center section with the 4″ x 6″ piece of cardstock.
Score and fold both of the 6″ x 6″ pieces of cardstock 2″ from one edge. Attach one of these to each end of the album, overlapping the 2″ sections.
This completes the whole album base.
Decorate with pieces of coordinating paper and photos. Cut rectangles 1/4″ smaller than each of the sections, so that base album creates a 1/8″ mat.
Note that the Tis the Season papers and the Seasons of Joy Cricut collection both retire on December 31. In fact almost everything in our current Holiday Expressions Idea Book will not be available starting January 1. Be sure to get your order in now if you have missed any of these favorites! Shop now>>

Happy Holidays! I just finished grading my last final and reporting the semester grades. So the Christmas Break is here for me! I’m excited to have a couple weeks to enjoy time with family, friends and my scrapbooking supplies 😉
What kinds of things do you think of scrapbooking around this time? I think of special Christmas cards, photos of my family opening gifts, the Christmas tree, family gatherings, and the kids playing in the snow.
The month of the December also has me thinking of all kinds of
keepsake cards and gifts I can make for my family and friends. I love both making and receiving home-made gift. What is so great about December’s Stamp of the
Month collection is it can be used to make customized scrapbook pages or
Christmas cards. The festive letters are fun to spell out names, phrases, and
lot’s of Happy Holiday wishes.
Don’t you love how professional and amazing these projects are? These were created by the artists at Close To My Heart, but I can help you “scraplift” them using this month’s Stamp of the Month! Or you could easily modify them to fit your needs.
If you’re wondering if you can squeeze
another purchase into your holiday budget, you definitely can with the special
deal we’re offering on this stamp set. You can get the full December Stamp of the Month, Candy Cane Alphabet, or
either the regular price of $18.95 OR you can get it for just $5 with any $50
purchase!
I’m sure you will have so many photos by the end of this month.
Scrapbooking is the ultimate way to preserve these precious moments so that you
can look back on them as the years go by. 2018 is coming to an end, so get
those memories safely kept before the start of the new year!
Happy Holidays to
you all!

season yet to be scrapbooked. The fall foliage will be a beautiful sight, as
