EPI. #531 ~ Envelope Flipbook Collaberation with Paper Jungle!

Hi there Happy Stampers,
I have a fun project to share with you today and I am part of a "Collaboration" with Bobbi from The Paper Jungle on YouTube!


Today was all about Envelope FlipBooks!!! Boy, are they fun to make and not difficult at all... I used the Hello December Project Life Card Collection from Stampin' Up! and also the Accessory Kit to make it super simple for my first "go" at this type of project.


Our Medium Whisper White Envelopes (4) made the perfect base for this book. In addition, I used the wonderful Warmth & Cheer Designer Paper pack to give it a rustic feel.
I hope you give this darling project a try for yourself and make sure to check out Bobbi's video of the Flipbooks that she created, they are super cute!
*** Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my blog and leave a comment here under this coordinating post, of what your favorite holiday tradition is. That's it and I will pick one lucky WINNER to recieve this FLIPBOOK from ME!!!*** A winner will be announced 12/2/2016

Ep. #529 ~Dec. Daily 2016 Flip-Through Days: 16-21

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all having a happy and productive week, I am getting things ready for Thanksgiving since we are hosting again this year.
Making my December Daily ahead of time has once again proven to be such a blessing so when December 1st arrives, everything is ready for my pictures! Wouldn't it be fabulous if I/we could stay this oroganized and up-to-date with our annual family scrapbook albums???
Today I am sharing my layouts for Days: 16-21 and some cute little embellishements that I have added to my album. Next week will wrap up my entire album "Flip-through" so I hope this have given you some ideas on how to use the cute Hello December Project Life Kit by Stampin' Up!
You still have time to order DD products so you can make one for your very own. Just head on over to my online store and you will find everything you need.

Thanks so much for watching...

Epi. #528 ~ December/Christmas Sampler 2016 Stampin' Up! Style


Happy Sunday Crafty Friends,
I am excited to share with you all my December/Christmas Sampler! I've been working on this over the weekend (and it took a good chunk of time...) and you know that Christmas is quickly approaching.
One of my favorite Designer Series Paper Packs from our S/Up! 2016 Holiday Catalog has to be this one - Candy Cane Lane, it's SO cute!!!


Jolly Friends is another really adorbable stamp set that I have really gotten lots of use out of...
I am not sure if I am going to be offering this Sampler as a "Mail Order Kit" this month, it was a lot of work and it might be easier for all of you to just put it together yourselves the way you want to. Check back in a day or two and I will post an update as to my decision.
Thanks for visitng with me today, I hope you have had a relaxing weekend.
