Paper Snowflakes

Look at all the pretty snowflakes :)
I punched all of these out last night during Friday Night Scrapbooking.
I wanted to use them on my gift card holders.

When I made my Christmas cards, I used Stampin' Up's texture paper…which I love, and used my Cricut to cut out a sheet of snowflakes.
I had a lot of good paper left in between the snowflakes made by my Cricut, and I just couldn't throw it away.
So I got out my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and went to town ;)
The results in the photo above.

My plan was to have red gift card holders and have the snowflakes sprinkled around the GC holder.
As you can see, my orderly personality wouldn't allow for that, lol.
So then I thought….okay, I will still use the snowflakes on some of the GC holders, but I can only use papers from my scrap folders.
Success :)

I usually take my crafty photos in my craft room with the door closed…bet you can't imagine why, lol.

I can not tell you how many times I had to re-set up these Gift card holders.
I think after the 10th plus time, I moved into my craft room and shut the door.
Luna looks like she is really enjoying herself doesn't she?

And then she looks up at me with this adorable face as if to say…Am I disturbing you?

Onto My Day:
Al of my daughters had today off, so they wanted to spend the day together.
So Wayne and I drove Heather and Kristy to Ashley's house, then we picked up a bit of lunch for ourselves and a little treat for later on ;)

Wayne bought himself an XBox One. I was going to get that for him for Christmas.
I swear he always buys himself something before Christmas.
It took over 18 hours for his game system to load up.
So just a tip, if you got one of these game systems for your children, as Wayne is one at heart.
Maybe start it up before Christmas, then wrap it, or prepare the little tykes for a long wait before they get to actually play a game.

I spent most of my day working in my journal…and checking out the internet.
Actually I think I spent more time running downstairs to get supplies I wanted for my journal, lol.

I hope you all had a wonderful and Creative Saturday :)

Cold and snowy

If I had it my way, I would have stayed home all day.
But the girls wanted to go Christmas shopping…even in -40C (with the windchill) weather.
I wasn't suppose to see what they were buying, so I called Ashley to come and meet us at the mall so I could have lunch with her as the other two ditched me, lol.

After the mall, I went to Ashley's to finish the big project…yes finally it is done!!!
I didn't get photos as the glue was drying and it was on its side….so hopefully Ashley will take some photos of it tomorrow when she gets it in place.

Today is day 11 of the Canadian Scrapbooking photo challenge.
"Snowflake" is the prompt.
Many snowflakes made up the background to this photo, teehee.
I took this sparkle snowflake from my crafting stash.
Because I took it during the evening, the lighting wasn't very good. So I played with some filters on my phone.

For Heidi Swapp's photo prompt is was
"Wrapping Paper"
Because I haven't wrapped my gifts yet…okay I will admit, I haven't even bought any presents yet :0
But this is the paper we are using for the outdoorsmen in our family.

I am still working on decluttering the basement.
Man its a big job…only I would start a major project like this before Christmas when I should be doing so many other things instead, lol.

I hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)
