Paper Camellia December Days Christmas Countdown Mini Album

Hello...sorry I've been neglecting my blog!  I haven't been making much time to post.  Work has been busy as well as the kids' activities keep me hopping.  Anyway, I will try to be better!  And honestly, I've been in a bit of a funk when it comes to scrapbooking.  I'm hoping to spend the entire  day in my room tomorrow to try to get some of my mojo back. ;)

Today, I'm sharing a mini album I created using the Paper Camellia December Days kit.  This extra kit is stocked full of beautiful paper with the traditional red and greens, as well as touches of grey and black.  Also, you have a multitude of embellishments to choose from! 

 

 

 

 

 

The kit also includes exclusive wood veneer words such as this "Joy".   I adhered a few of the die cut trees from the Pink Paislee Merry and Bright collection. 

 

 

December Days also has exclusive flair buttons!  I used the cute reindeer at the top of my page with a glitter snowflake. 

 

 

I used an 8 1/2 x 11 page protector and cut it down to 4x6. I then added the Teresa Collins Designs sequins and stitched the edges. Lastly, I added one of the Pink Paislee Glitter Words. 

I am loving the White Wood Grain Cardstock from American Crafts!! It's so lovely! Did you know you can order it from the Paper Camellia shop?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! Are you making a December Daily or album to document this year's Christmas? You can see the December Days kit in its entirety by going here!  Have a great day!

 

 



December Daily with Clear Scraps

Today I am up on the Clear Scraps blog with my first ever (finished!) December Daily!  I have been a big fan of Ali Edwards and have always meant to do a DD. I've even started one. But, this is the first time I've actually finished! LOL I used Clear Scraps awesome 8x8 Tab Album. I really love working with Clear Scrap acrylic because it is sturdy and durable!  There is nothing out there on the market that stands up to Clear Scraps! 

 

 

For my paper and embellishments, I used Teresa Collins Designs' Santa's List collection...love the red, white, and black color combination!  For my cover, I love to load up and layer embellishments!  Santa's List comes with decorative and vellum bags, which I used here.  I also snagged a gold doily from a past Studio Calico kit.

 

 

I used the decorative number brads from Santa's List for my daily numbers. I also really love the chipboard that coordinates with the line!

 

 

Here I created a pocket for journaling with patterned paper and a vellum bag.  

 

I used a manila tag from Ranger, patterned paper, and washi tape to slide inside the pocket. The stamped sentiment is from Catslife Press.

 

 

This is a cute Silhouette file that I sprayed with red ink and adhered it to a sheet of vellum. I added some sequins behind and stitched it together. 

 

 

To create this fun effect, I used my Clear Scraps 6 inch Chicken Wire Mascil and Art Anthology's Dimensional  paint in Blizzard. 

 

Here is a close up...I love the hint of glitter in this paint!

 

In my book, I used the file folders from Santa's List. Here is the inside of one that I decorated with chipboard pennants.

 

Thanks for reading today! Be sure to stop by the Clear Scraps shop to see all of the new yummy products that will be released at CHA next month! 

 

 

 



Just a few more days!

Can't wait to start my first December Daily!!  I have always wanted to do one, as I love Ali Edwards! Her ideas are fantastic!

This week will be busy, as I'm STILL getting kits together for my class on Saturday. I'm only on page 5! I am making 10 kits, plus trying to put one together for myself. Yikes. I'll be at the store every afternoon this week. :)

Happy Monday!
