A year in reflection scrapbook pages
Each year, I trade scrapbook pages as Christmas gifts with family members. The pages highlight what my family did over the last year, so in the end, I have a stack of pages showing me what everyone has been up to while I’ve been living out of state. It is lots of fun to do, but this year I had so many things to share that I needed to make 4 pages for each gift. I was trading with 4 families this year, so that was 16 pages to make. It may not seem like a lot, but doing 16 12×12 pages in 2 days (I’m a late starter) was a lot of work. However, it was fun to get some scrapbooking in.
I’ve spent so much time recently doing cards and 3D projects, that I’m a bit rusty on scrapbooking (I was suprised at how different a style it can be). This time, I was able to start incorporating stamping into my scrapbooking with the Enjoy the moment stamp set on my pink pages. And of course, I couldn’t live with out my punches (corner rounder and ticket punch) whether I’m making cards or scrapbook pages.

Some other craft fair items
So, this is just a quick post to share some of the other items that I made for the craft fair. Unfortunately, there was not much traffic so I came home with most of what I took with me. However, being mostly paper crafts, they’ll last till the next one. 🙂
Embellished picture frame, flower pots (with actual seeds), decorated candles, chocolate filled containers, decorated york peppermint patties

Stamp-a-stack door prize!
So, tonight is part 2 of our holiday stamp-a-stack. It should be a laid back evening where folks can leisurely finish up their cards and have the chance to play with any of my supplies. Tonight is also when I hand out the door prize! The door prize for tonight is a box to hold all of the cards and envelopes we made! I was taking a guess on some of the measurements but after I had it complete it looks like it is exactly the right size! I made it more generic so it is useful not only for the holiday cards but to also store any cards made in the future. So, without further ado, here is the prize:

This box is 4.5″ wide x 6″ long x 3″ tall. It takes two 12×12 sheets of paper to make plus any accessories you want to make it look neat. In my case, I used ribbon, dazzling diamonds giltter, the enjoy every moment stamp set, and the BigShot with the TopNote die. If you are interested in the template to make this, leave me a note and I’ll get it posted. 🙂
Check out my calendar of upcoming events to join in the fun and possibly win your own door prize!
