Pages 225 & 226

The photo on the lower left is a flip album, that actually houses 5 pictures, not just the one you can see. That is what the loops of fiber are for, to lift each page.


Found the dimensional New Year's stuff at Target last year. Bought a set for me and my sister.

I haven't used a paper punch in years either and today was the day. My right hand page needed some swirls to fill in empty space and to coordinate with the facing page a bit better. My Cricut carts didn't have one, so I pulled out the dusty case of punches and TAH! DAH! I had a swirl! Just what I needed! So, once again, trying to use more of my scrapbook stash was accomplished! Gotta love it!

Pages 223 & 224

I haven't used my circle cutter in years!!! Literally! My husband was wondering what in the world was I doing, when I got it out! Anyway, the circles on the background papers led me to add other larger circles, as well as to find a photo that could be cut out in a circle.

I placed my sticker title (Happy New Year's) on a triple layered half-circle. I just wish I had placed it first on the peach color rather than the blue. You can't see the silver writing very well on the blue.

I even figured out how to print my text in a circle!!! Am I cool or what?? Hee Hee! I did ink the edges of the circles. I like how it turned out and ow quickly it came together!

Pages 221 & 222

Steph, these are the ones I was trying to tell you about.

I cut out pcs of flowers that were left on the scraps and used them around the page, as needed.

Staying Current? Or Not????

Are we staying on top of this scrapbooking quest???

Pages 215 & 216

These 2 were my faves of the day. (August Crop- 12 pages done)

It doesn't show too well, but I cut the snowflakes out of silver heavy paper with the Cricut and added adhesive gems to kick it up.

Pages 213 & 214

Another page done in that "blocking" style. This was Christmas dinner/lunch. I made the Fudge Truffle Cheesecake. :)

Pages 211 & 212

These pages are done in a "blocking" format. Where you fill up the page with blocks of photo &/or papers, keeping everything lined up nice & neat. It's a good way to do it if you have a lot of pics for a 2 page spread. I'll probably type my journaling on a large tag, tie some ribbons/fibers to it and slip it behind the page in the album with the fibers sticking out of the top to bring attention to it.

Pages 209 & 210

These 2 pages have no "text" as of yet, as our printer is out of black ink.

This one is of the Golden Fruitcake Bars that I made for Martin. He is English and loves his fruitcake at Christmas. I hate it. I found this variation on it and decided to try it to surprise him. They were really good and will most likely become a new tradition!

Pages 205 & 206

The pic. doesn't show it too well, but the title is "the WONDER of Christmas".
