Planner Friday - November

Yes!  We are so close to December I can almost taste it!  I can't wait for the festive period to start so I thought for this month's Planner Friday I would show you my Christmas themed spread in my Travellers Notebook.

My Christmas spread

I wanted to record some of my favourite things about Christmas and list the things I am looking forward to doing next month so I got to work with my Annie's Paper Boutique stamps!  I absolutely LOVE my Christmas stamp sets, they are full of fun and quirky quotes that are perfect for journalling, card making, gift tags and lots more!  

On the first page I have used the Christmas Movies stamp from the This is December set for the list of films I want to watch over the holidays and I added a couple of stamps from the Foodies set as there will definitely be snacks involved while I watch them!  Frozen is a family favourite in this house so the Do you want to build a snowman? stamp from the Let It Snow set just had to make an appearance too!

On the second page I have a list of things I need to do but they are also things I enjoy.  I can't wait to put up the tree, cover the house in decorations, hit the shops to buy gifts and treats and then wrap it all up.  I also recorded some of my favourite things to drink and eat using the This Is December #2

and Drinks & More stamp sets and I have left myself a space to add a photo of my children I am going to take on Christmas Eve while they are waiting for Santa to arrive.

The last thing I did was to give myself a reminder that I need to put out some cookies and milk for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph and I used the image stamps from my Perfect Pairs set for this.  I think they look super cute!

Planner Friday - December

I'm so excited, can you believe there are only two days left until Christmas?  I'm on the blog today to share with you the planner pages I created using some fun festive stamps from Annie's Paper Boutique!

My Christmas week

Being Christmas week I don't have a lot of appointments or commitments to write down so I had some extra space to play with when I started decorating the pages.  I used three sets of Christmas stamps to add some pretty reminders and these will also be great for when I document our holiday in my journal.

I absolutely love the New Christmas PJs stamp I have used on the 24th December as that is a tradition my mum started with me when I was little and I have carried it on with my children now too.  The Waiting for Santa stamp is a lot of fun as well, every Christmas Eve I take a photo of my three sitting on the sofa dressed in their new pyjamas and full of excitement and then we put our coats on, go outside and search the skies for signs of Santa's sleigh!

Naughty & Nice!

Pairing the But, Santa! journaling tag with the I've been Naughty & Nice! stamp made me giggle so I added a couple of strips of washi tape, punched some holes and turned it into a cute page marker.  

So that's my last post for 2016! If you want to pretty up your planner in 2017 pop over to the store and take a look at all the lovely planning supplies and stamps, you should find everything you need to get you started.    

I wish you happy holidays and hope to see you again next year!

Trendy Twine - Ho Ho Ho Layout

Hello! This is Sukie and today I have a layout page to share featuring some Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine.  I'm loving this festive twist of red and light blue, it is so fun for holiday creations. My layout page started with some festive paper from the DCWV Merry Little Christmas Stack which I have had for a couple of years.  I used the adorable kids from the Peachkins SVG file from Peachy Keen Stamps and added a Santa hat to each of them. Their faces were stamped with the "In the Garden Babies" Peachy Keen Stamps.

The title was cut from the Elmo and Friends Holiday cartridge and I added a string of lights to their hands cut from the Winter Frolic cartridge.  I used the twine to accent the string of lights, the set of gifts and the photo mats.  A sentiment from the APB This is December stamp set was stamped on a tag tied to the photo mat.

Head on over to the store to check out this gorgeous twine for those holiday projects along with all kinds of crafty goodies.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a fabulous day!

APB Release Day 2 -- Frosted Cranberry Sequins

Hello everyone and welcome to Release Week!  I'm Helen from HTB Creations and boy do we have a lot of fun things to show you this week!  All new products will be available over at Annie's Paper Boutique this Friday at 6pm CST.

I made two projects today featuring the new Frosted Cranberry Sequins. I also used the new Chipboard Mini Tag Album.  It comes with 8 chipboard tags along with a ring.  I ended up just using three pages to show you here.

For the mini album, I used some red and blue card stock then some cute red/blue Christmas paper I found at Hobby Lobby.  These were perfect colors to use my Frosted Cranberry Sequins on.  I also used some stamps from the new This is December stamp set releasing on Friday.

I also made a shaker card.  I feel like I am getting a bit better at these :)  Along with the Frosted Cranberry sequins, I used the matching Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine, a stamp from the new Merry Christmas stamp set, My Favorite Things dies for the card front, and the same red/blue Christmas paper from my mini album.

Be sure to come back all week to see all the sneak peeks!!  There is a lot to see and you will not be disappointed.

APB Release Day 1- This is December & Chipboard Tag Mini Album

Hi Everyone! 
Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot here to share a project.

I hope your week is off to a great start!

Today is Day 1 of the Annie's Paper Boutique stamp and product release.

Today, I am excited to feature "This is December" stamp set and Chipboard Tag Mini Album, the new products will be released on Friday, October 21st. So don't miss out! 

I made a fun Christmas album using the Chipboard Tag Mini Album as the base. I thought this would be a perfect gift for a distant family member or friend to show the highlights of the holiday events.

The album cover. 

I covered each page with some papers from Pebbles called Home For Christmas. I also used the coordinating Pebbles chips on the pages. I heat embossed the "This is December" in white and added the 2016 in white using a roller stamp.

This is the inside page, the sentiment is heat embossed in white on both pages. I added some red, green, gold and yellow stickles for the lights. I sponged most of the pages in red or white ink to add some interest. The "Place Photo Here" sentiment is from the Document The Everyday stamp set available {here}.

On the third page, I added some Jingle bells and added some Totally Red Trendy Twine bows, I left the strip on the bottom for a little journaling.

On the coordinating page, I added the sentiment "Favorite Song" heat embossed in silver.

On these two pages, I added some cute gingerbread people, and accented them with some white liquid pearls to look like frosting and a Totally White Trendy Twine bow to the girl. The sentiment "Christmas Baking" is also heat embossed in white.

These two pages feature the "Treats & Sweets" and "Holiday Deliciousness" sentiments both embossed again in white. I added some candies and accented them with some wink of stella and glossy accents, they are also popped up for a little dimension.

These next two pages are a light teal color, I added some silver embossing to the edge and also to added the sentiments, "Hang the Stockings" and "Oh Joy!". I added some stockings with a little bit of faux white stitching using my gel pen, I popped up the middle stocking too.

The next pages I featured the "Make a List" and "All I want for Christmas" sentiments. The first sentiment is stamped on the pebbles chip in black and heated embossed in clear. The next sentiment is heat embossed in white.

The last two pages, I featured the classic Elf on the Shelf inspired sentiments, "Elf Mischief" and "the elves did what?!". These are so fun and perfect for those silly elves that love to come visit during the holiday season!! I embossed both the sentiments in white and added some wood veneer symbols to the top of the second page for fun.

Here is the back of the album with all the pages fanned out.
