Mini Album for the Holidays

Here's a mini album I did over the holidays. I'm pleased to announce that I will be offering a monthly Mini Album class. They will all be different each month. Keep your eyes open for class listing in a couple of days...
I love making mini albums. The mini albums are so great because they are smaller and such a great way to highlight everyday memories or extra special ones. And talk about making a wonderful gift!! The 6 x 6 mini album is such a fun and fairly quick way to scrapbook moments; especially if you're like me and don't always get around to the 12x12 albums. So this is a mini album I made for my dear friend and her family this Christmas. I used retired DSP Candy Cane and my favorite holiday stamp set Snow Much Fun!



More Holiday Highlights

The Village of Christmas Class was great fun. I LOVE the way the little houses turned out..

And Bear even got 'involved' -not quite what I had in mind. He chewed the house the day before the class so I was up til the wee hours of the morning making ANOTHER ONE!! He's lucky he's so loved.

And of course then he was thirsty after a 'big meal'...

Highlights from the Holidays

Happy New Year Everyone. Well took a little break from blogging over the holidays. Needed to sort through some family time. But that didn't stop all the wonderful holiday projects. So for the next few days, I'll be posting Highlight of Holiday Projects. It just goes by sooooo quickly huh?

Two For Tea and Tea For Two...

This was the doorprize I made for my monthly upline stamp group. Since I won the doorprize last month, the rule is winner makes next month's doorprize. I got the tutorial from Lynn Pratt's website. It  consists of the template and you make your own design choices regarding paper, embellishments etc. I did alter it to make it work better for what I wanted. Inside the teapot the four teacup notecards fit nicely. Such a fun idea for all sorts of occasions.

Happy Halloween All - Third Times A Charm

What a fun night! Finally, a fun Halloween. Let's see my first Halloween in Arizona two years ago(Ahwatukee area), I left our candy bowl full of candy by our door with a cute note for trick-or-treaters to help themselves to one...my son said don't do it, they'll just take it all. No they won't I said - yes they did. Bowl and all gone, gone, gone. So disheartening (smile).  Second Halloween, (Tolleson area), no trick-or-treaters. Hmmm...Third time is a charm - finally home in Terrific Tempe! We had SO MANY adorable little gobblins at our door. I had to send my son out twice to round up candy. I put together 40 little treat bags and truly thought this would be MORE than enough; it WASN'T!! We had over a 100 trick-or-treaters.  It was great. AND, at 9:00 I put the remaining goodie bags in a bowl, set them outside next to our jack-o-lantern with, yes once again another note to please help yourself to a goodie bag....AND...the bowl is still there with a few goodie bags left. Everyone was very appreciative for the nifty treats. Sweet and Simple.
