merry christmas!!!

...and my best wishes to you all, my friends!!!

christmas journal: day 3

Last weekend I could make a couple pages but the best was that I made my album cover. I took an old cardboard binder and covered the outside with red binding fabric, and the inside with a K&company green paper. Then I put a piece of red felt with some embellisments on the front cover. Finally I made the title with some silver letters from Heidi Swapp. Now I can keep my pages in it and I´m punching holes and adding as well some drawings that my daughter makes while I´m scrapping. Here is my third page, too. The little cards can be opened and keep little "secrets" inside...

christmas journal: day 2

Papers: BasicGrey, K&Company, Anna Griffin; glittered letter stickers: Making Memories; stickers: 7gypsies, Love Elsie; rub-ons: Love Elsie; chipboard: FancyPants.
TFL!
My second page. I´ve decided not to number the pages so far and I´ve put a tab in which probably I´ll put the numbers or dates later. I´ve covered the back side with a photo of an advert that I cut from a home decoration magazine and put a paper strip for covering the advertirser words and maybe I will put something more.
The same way my Christmas supplies box is open, I´ll leave my pages open to add more things, photos or words if necessary...

The back side. Paper: Amy Buttler (K&Company).

shimelle´s christmas journal: day one

Cardstock: Bazzill; Paper: Scrapworks; letters: American Crafts thickers; stamps: CastlifePress, Aladine; rub-on: Love,Elsie; words stripe: 7gypsies; others: ribbons.

TFL!

Ok, this is my first journal entry for Shimelle´s class "Christmas Journal". I missed my first 2 prompts as I was out during the weekend, so now I´m a bit behind...but I´m not going to worry or stress myself. I will do it with some days of delay if necessary and if I can get up to date...so much the better!

Finally I´m going to use different sizes in my journal which I will bind at the end, probably in a ring binder. For this first page I´ve used a piece of chipboard in 7x9", then covered with paper both sides, on the front side I´ve taken Shimelle´s words and I´ve reserved the back side to put some other "private" thoughts.

I´m not very proud of this first page, but I don´t mind, I hope it will be better day by day, I rather think some days will be better than others, sure!

"journal your christmas"

Finally, I decided to sign up for Shimelle´s class on line: Journal your Christmas. It sounded so funny...

And my first step: gathering Christmas stuff. Apart of some papers and embellishments that I´ve shopped for the occasion, I searched through my stash all kind of papers in green, red, pink and light blue that could fit. Then I´ve added a bunch of scraps and more papers and some chipboard elements and lots of ribbons that I already had. I keep all that in a box, but I´ll have my box "open" just in case I want to add more things. Besides I will have on hand all my basic tools, and inks and stamps. I think I´ll have stuff enough to play with, but one never knows...Now, ready for my next step!

Ah! And if you wish to have a look here and here... being in the slide show of favorites at One Little Word is a very big honour for me. I´m so so very happy...THANK YOU!

OLW #14: full

8,5x11 layout. Patterned papers: 7gypsies, AutummLeaves; journaling tags: ScenicRoute; chipboard letters: BasicGrey; others: buttons, brads, flowers and felt embellishments (some of these are home made).
TFL!

Another challenge from One Little Word, this time using the¨ word "full". Here is my layout, a very simple one although full of color, the photo is not very good but as I still have my printer a bit broken (this could be applied to the scanner as well, which is the same) I have to manage with what I have on hand. Thanks God that Christmas will come soon!

good news!!

After being ill for more than a week...i´ve got good news!
Hey! I´ve been invited to be a new member of 1WorldScrap Design Team . I´m so excited...This is really a big challenge that encourages me to continue experimenting and making stuff and sharing it. I hope to do my best!
(The photo is a peek of the album covers for a project that I´d want to prepare for Christmas. Just cardboard painted with red and gold acrylics, work in project...)
