First Birthday Party

After browsing the party stores for my baby's 1st birthday party, I decided that 1.  I did not like any of the 1st birthday party themes, and 2. Did not want to spend a lot of money.  So after a couple of hours spent surveying my scrapbook supplies, I decided to go with an animal themed party, using supplies on hand.  The scrapbook paper, stamps, and ink are all from Close To My Heart.  In addition to these, I used my Create a Critter and Mini Monogram cricut cartridges

December Daily - Day One

I'm participating in the Ali Edward's December Daily project.  It's all about documenting the month of December.  As I've done in previous years, I'm going to stop on Christmas day.  Here is my layout for yesterday, December 1st.

Christmas Banner

This past weekend I created a banner to help add a touch of color to my holiday decor.

I used white card stock, "Countdown to Christmas" holiday paper by My Mind's Eye, twine (I used hemp), and mini clothespins. All items used, were purchased at my local Michael's craft store.

With the remaining scraps of paper, I cut several 2x2 squares and adhered them to an 11x12 piece of white card stock. I left a few squares empty and stamped them using Close To My Heart stamps and inks. The frame I used, is one I already owned and have used for similar seasonal artwork.

Coming Soon!
