On the Twelfth Day of Christmas...


On the Twelfth day of Christmas, my stamping friend gave to me....a scrapbook layout to share a memory! :)

Here it is Christmas Eve and our last day in the 12 days of Christmas. I hope you have had as much fun as I have! Check back soon for fun artwork from our brand new Spring Idea Book to kick off the new year! I want to wish all of you a wonderful and warm holiday with your loved ones. Merry Christmas!

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas...



If you are like me and busily wrapping presents today, then this idea is for you! More gift tags! I love making home made gift tags for presents, and they don't take much paper so it's a great way to use up small pieces of your favorite background and texture papers. Here are just a few ideas!

On the Tenth Day of Christmas....



Here is another gift idea to celebrate the 10th Day of Christmas. :) This cute mini-scrapbook is made from our Merry And Bright Card kit! YES! The very same card kit that I used in the Christmas cards the last couple of days.

On the Nineth Day of Christmas...


I just had to share the other two card designs from the Merry & Bright card kit that I shared yesterday. They were so adorable that I wanted to share all four cards! Each kit comes with 4 designs and three of each design for a total of 12 cards. Love them!

On the Eighth Day of Christmas...


On the eighth day of Christmas my stamping friend gave to me....

A card kit that's as easy as can be! :)

I love Close to My Heart's originals card kits. They go together really fast and look adorable. And they even include extra goodies like 3-D foam and ribbon! This Christmas kit is called Merry and Bright. Aren't the elves adorable? I threw 10 of these cute cards in less than 15 minutes. Enjoy!

On the Seventh Day of Christmas....


Another storm is rolling in here is Utah as I type...another perfect day to stay home and stamp! So, I made another talking Christmas ornament...this time one for my son. When I showed it to him, he took it into another room so no one could hear him record on it. When he brought it back I about cried as I played it to hear him sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It was so sweet! I love these MyPages Talk recorders!

On the Sixth Day of Christmas....


Here is a little treat to celebrate the sixth day of Christmas! A talking Christmas Ornament. Really! I made this Christmas ornament with our fabulous MyPages Talk Voice Recorder. I simply decorated the cover and added one my daughter's school pictures. Attach some ribbon to hang it with (liquid glass is fabulous for attaching the ribbon to the slick surface on the back!). Then I recorded my daughter singing a Christmas song. The voice recorder can record up to 30 seconds. Just press the little white button on the right side to play. The locking feature on the side prevents her voice message from being erased accidentally. This will be a priceless ornament that preserves her sweet voice.

On the Fifth Day of Christmas....


On the Fifth Day of Christmas my stamping friend gave to me....

A card with a Christmas Tree! :) I just love this song! Hee! Hee!
Here is another Christmas card made with the Evergreen stamp set. It's nice and simple so you can make a whole stack! Notice how the trunk of the tree is made out of Cocoa ribbon. Enjoy!

On the Fourth Day of Christmas...


Today it is snowing here in Orem and everything is totally covered in blanket of pure white snow! It really makes it feel like the holiday time. I love it! All the snow also makes me want to stay inside and stamp! Hee! Hee! Here are a few gift tags that I created this morning as I hibernated indoors. They just flew together! The trick is to find one gift tag layout you love and change it up by adding different accents or different stamped images. It makes tag making faster, simpler, and easier!

On the Third Day of Christmas.....


On the Third Day of Christmas, my dear friend gave to me....

A winter survival can full of goodies!

This Winter Survival Can is made from a new quart size paint can that I bought at a local paint store. Then I filled it with hot cocoa, Kleenex, hand sanitizer etc. Decorate the outside with a fun winter theme. These make great teacher gifts!

On the Second Day of Christmas.....


"On the second day of Christmas, a dear friend gave to me.....

An Acrylic album under my holiday tree!"

:) This is holiday acrylic themed acrylic album would be a fabulous gift for any friend or family member!

This album uses the Evensong paper packet, Holiday buttons, Love Letters rubon ons and Cranberry ribbon. To order, go to www.tracy.myctmh.com.
