     Now let’s check out the rest of the amazing Christmas creations!

     I’m so excited to be back today sharing a mini album that I made as part of the 25 days of Christmas movies blog hop.  We each have picked a movie and created a project around that movie.  For my inspiration I chose the movie The Santa Clause Three.

     I chose this movie due to the inclusion of Jack Frost…snow/cold is one of my favorite things.  The inspiration for a snow themed mini album was born.
     I created a waterfall mini album using one piece of chipboard and a My Creative Scrapbook kit I’ve had since 2015.  Most of the items are from the Pebbles Winter Wonderland collection.  There sadly isn’t much of it left out there as it was gorgeous.
     
     I love the way the waterfall looks with the lacy corners, and frosty colors.  I used my favorite Fiskars corner rounder because I thought it looked like a lacy snow pattern. 
     I chose a simple design for the cover that emphasized snow, but left room for the owner to put a photo in.  The addition of a photo would make it truly unique to that person.  
     I have also created a youtube video on my channel showing how I put the book together.  I’d love if you came over and checked it out.
     Before you hop on to the other blogs I have a giveaway.  I’d like to send this journal to one hop participant.  To enter just leave a comment here, become a follower, hop on over to the youtube video, leave a comment there and subscribe as well!  I can’t wait to see who wins.  Happy Hopping!

3×3 Christmas Meander Album

     Hi everyone and welcome to my second guest post for the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here from Lisa’s blog.
    The idea of this hop is to give you 12 days of inspiration to get those Christmas projects done.  You may see cards, layouts, mini albums, altered items or home decor…you’ll have to visit each day to not miss a thing.
     For my project today I chose to make a 3×3 meander album with a Christmas theme.  I have been sick with bronchitis so I made you a video…Thanks for understanding!

  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!
   

Doodlebug Mini For Practical Scrappers

Hi everyone and welcome to the October Hop for Practical Scrappers.  You should have arrived from Majken’s blog.  For the hop this time we were challenged to use the theme of Fall or Halloween.  I wanted to use up some of my old Doodlebug Halloween paper, but didn’t have enough embellishments so I mixed two older paper lines and some new stickers and Doodle-Pops.
All the edges are inked with black ink to add to the Halloween feel, but I also find when using a pre-made chipboard album inking can help hide if your paper isn’t cut perfectly to size.  Another tool I like when using pre-cut chipboard is Creek Bank Creations Sanding Sticks.  They allow you to file the edges of any paper that may be hanging over for a clean edge.

     Since the pages were so small to begin with I tried to keep the embellishments fairly simple so there was still enough room for a real photo.  I think what ended up being my favorite embellishment was the candy corn cut out.  I coated each of the corn with crystal laquer so they are shiny and raised…looks like candy behind a glass case. Which page is your favorite? Leave me a comment, and become a follower, and I’ll pick a winner on Sunday for a surprise gift..
    I thank you for hoping with me today, and I’d love if you became a follower!  Until next time…Keep Scrapping and head over to Jennifer’s page for more inspiration
