Christmas Jingle demonstration

I had prepared more samples to show and to talk about for the scrapbook demonstration that I did on Global TV Saturday morning however we didn't have the opportunity to show them. So here are a few of the pages that I created using the Christmas Jingle scrapbook kit. This kit is available until June 30 2010 so it is a great kit to have to scrapbook Christmas '09 after you've developed your photo's! It is a great colour combination of Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.

How many more days until Christmas??

This Avent Calender has become a new tradition in our home that started last Christmas. I made this with a magnet board and attached magnets to the back of the watch part containers. I decorated it using last Christmas's designer series paper. Each day, instead of treats, we put in a piece of paper with a special Christmas related activity that we will do for the day! Some examples that we have used are, read your favourite Christmas story, bake sugar cookies, go for a walk and look at the Christmas lights, watch the Grinch that stole Christmas.....The kids run downstairs every morning to see what activity we are going to do that day!

Snowman Gift Card Holder

This has been a favourite at my workshops this season. I got the idea from a swap that I received at Convention this summer by Marjie (no last name??) All it is, is an envelope folded in half, a ribbon tied around and cardstock on the back (the ribbon goes between the back of the envelope and the Chocolate Chip cardstock) and a cute snowman stamped on the front!

For this particular version, I used Snow Buddies stamp set, Warm Words stamp set, the Merry Moments DSP and co-ordinating Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla cardstock. Don't forget to keep one side of the envelope open so you can insert a gift card for that very special person on your shopping list!
