Right now i'm listening to my favorite holiday cds. There is nothing beter than listening to your favorite artists sing your favorite holiday songs, over and over. Ecspecially while at work! Christmas music seems to always be able to make me happy, no matter what time it is or where i am! I hope everybody is enjoying the holiday music as much as i am!
Basic Grey has come out with many holiday layouts, and other crafts. I love these projects! They truly capture the essence of the holiday season! Try and create your own layout, and capture your favorite holiday moments. Maybe ill make one about my love for holiday music :D (click on the images for full sized pictures)
I love how she used photoshop to only show the cookies color! it makes the theme of the page stand out so much more than if the color would have been in all color. What would Christmas be without sugar cookies and milk!?
This project is made by using the Euphoria line from Basic Grey. The colors may not be traditional red and green, but they still portray the theme of winter beautifully! I love how she took a line, and made it work for her! Euphoria has nothing to do with the holidays, and I found it very creative to use it for a page like this.
Its Christmas card time!! Can you believe it! Heres an adorable card i found from Basic Grey! Its cute and easy! Although it isn't specifically for a Christmas card i think it is a great idea for all of us who like to make our Christmas cards from scratch. ENJOY!!

I hope everyone enjoyed all of the videos from last month! I know i had a blast finding them! I cant wait to try some of those ideas out myself... But now that November is over, i think its time we started to get in the holiday spirit! December is one of my favorite months out of the year! From the slight nip in the air, to the guys ringing bells outside your favorite stores, there is something for everyone to love!
Make sure to take time and reminisce on all of your favorite memories of 2008. Every year our extended family takes turns making the family calendar. And i have the best time looking for pictures of many family too include. Its so fun to remember what a great year it has been.
Here is something that i found so cute! Enjoy... and try it out for yourself!!!;)

I have fallen in love with this page by Marion! She does such a good job with making her work extremely unique! In this tutorial she even splatter paints!! I love her creativeness and couldn’t resist using another one of her videos for today’s media entry. I love how you could make the exact same page for a girl. And the page doesn’t even have to be for a baby. This layout would work for any age!!
I discovered a lady by the name of Marion, the other day. She has many different video tutorials for some of the most unique projects I’ve ever seen!! They are to die for cute, and super functional!!
Today the one I choose is called the paper bag album. As I was looking through her tutorials, this one definitely caught my eye. The name intrigued me so I decided to watch it! The album is super easy to make and the outcome is FABULOUS!!! I CANNOT wait to try this out for my self!! If you only watch one of the videos I have posted so far, watch this one! You wont have to go buy any materials! And you will not be disappointed!
Today you are getting two videos!! The slice has been flying off the shelves! So I thought I would show a project and informational video for all of you.
This project is too adorable!! I love the line, and the way the incorporate the slice to make it perfect! What would we do without our personal die-cut systems!! ;)
Hope you all are doing great!! And that you have a fantastic Monday!!
I found this video by Stacy Julian, i just had to share it with all of you! I'm not a huge fan of this layout, but i think the story is adorable, and the video has some great tips!!
watch and i guarantee you will understand what i mean!!
I love to carry around a little book with me to capture those picture perfect quotes! And now i can put those together with my pages, to create the perfect layout :)
Projects: Let Go... and Play! A Reminder for Scrapbooking

Hey everyone!! Hope you all are doing great :) i think this video is the perfect inspiration to start off our month!! The play pledge is an adorable idea that can be used to create a family motto or to brighten a room. I think that the lady at 3:05 makes a cute and great point!! Maybe try and use her words in a layout of card this week!! Enjoy this video... and your hobby!! Kaitlyn
