Christmas Scrap

It's been a busy past two weeks! It's crunch time with getting all of our Christmas crafts finished. Although I'm no where near being finished with all I had planned to do for this year, I am done with biggest, most important project of them all... a family scrapbook for both of our parents. How is it that I can spend hours trying to get one page to look right, then come back and spit out two pages in less then an hour like it was nothing?! Why can't I scrap like this all the time?!

I decided to go with Shabby Shoppe's Clementine kit throughout the whole book. I fell absolutely head over heels in love with this kit and had so much fun creating different pages with it. Shappy Shoppe is one of my favorite digital scrapbooking stores! I love their kits, freebies, and blog.

Besides finishing the scrapbooks, I am happy to report that I also finished and ordered our Christmas cards! This is another project I have been working on for far too long, dumping every design I came up with until tonight when I sat down and put this design together in less then 10 minutes. I used DeDe Smith's Practically Perfect kit, and ordered double sided 5x7 landscape flat panel cards through Mixbook. I have used Mixbook in the past and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company! Their photobooks are great quality, their customer service is top notch, and I'm very happy with their product pricing.

So what's next on the Christmas craft agenda?! I hope to finish up another digital scrap inspired gift for my girls/besties, homemade ornaments, earring holder, and pull my poor neglected sewing machine out of the closet and see if I can whip out some doll diapers and diaper bags for Lollipop and her cousin! My husband, Lollidad has also been busy with a Christmas craft of his own when it's finished I cannot wait to show it off to all of blog land!
