I love little hands!

It has been a busy couple of days!  I have been at my kids school the last two days doing little hands on tiles to the tune of 190 hands.  I did the entire Kindergarten class on Monday and today the entire First Grade class.  I wanted to stuff some of those kids in my pockets and take them home with me as they were so stinkin’ cute.  They were amazed with my "magic" ink on their little hands.  They did so great!  I hope there are many moms and dads that enjoy the hand print on the tiles.  They really are a keepsake.  Of course I forgot to shoot a pic of the one I did for Lexi, but I will upload it tomorrow. 

Anyways, I thought I would share a fast Christmas card with you tonight as I sit here addressing all my Christmas Cards.  My stamp room will look very bare in the next couple of days as I steal every Christmas card I have made to send out.  I think I will be making more tomorrow.  ugh!

This card was inspired by Sweet Miss Daisy who I admire.  I had seen a card recently that she had made and I wanted to recreate using Stampin’ Up! stuff.  I used Rub On’s again and the little Sizzlet Snowflakes in Kraft and Chocolate Chip cardstock.  Really fast card.  Again, if you are looking for fast and simple… pull out your rub ons.  You will have a ton of cards done in no time. 

I hope you are having a great week and not stressing to much with the holidays fast approaching.  Oh jeez… who am I foolin?  I am TOTALLY stressed.  We leave in a few short days for Florida.  I am NOT even ready for that trip.  I am looking forward to WARM weather.  I am absolutely FREEZING here.  My body does not do the MINUS temps.  The last couple days the temps are hanging around the ZERO mark.   Zero Temps + Freezing Kimberly = Cranky Kimberly!    Yep!

Be back tomorrow!!

More Scrapbook layouts!

Oh boy!  I meant to get these posted yesterday and the day just got away!  It is super cold here.  It was a perfect day for scrapbooking. 

Here are a few more pages for my 6 x 6 scrapbook album.  I will also show you the albums I have decorated.  Again, these use no stamping, just Rub Ons. 

This layout below I used small felt flurries and rub ons.  I dyed the small White Felt Flurries using a little water and Chocolate Chip re inker.  They soaked there for a little bit and then I let them dry.  I love how these came out. 

This album uses Stampin’ Up! Rub on’s directly onto the Linen Album.  Super easy!  What a great way to really personalize an album.

Here is another album.  I just love these rub ons. 

Have a SUPER week!!!

30 Minute Scrapbook Album!

Good Saturday morning!  I’ve been working on my 12 days of Christmas for the teachers and I wanted to share a quick Christmas Scrapbook album that will take you literally 30 minutes to put together.  There is not a stitch of stamping, but lots of GREAT Rub On’s from Stampin’ Up!  I love using Stampin’ Up! rub ons for a number of reasons but the main reason is how easy they RUB ON!  Here are 8 6×6 layouts I have completed for the first album.  I have another one in the works that I will show tomorrow. 

There you have it.  8 Fast Christmas layouts.  Materials used for this project was Chocolate Chip Cardstock, Kraft cardstock, Season of Cheer Rub ons, Old St. Nick Rub ons, and Word Flurries Rub ons.  I also added some Small Felt Flurries and circle brads to a page. 

Have a wonderful Saturday.

Time to Scrapbook!

It was scrapbook club at my house tonight!  Not only do I love the fact I get to produce two pages for my own scrapbook, I just LOVE this group.  They make me laugh so hard!  It really is a giggle fest. You know the giggle that makes you run to the bathroom!  Okay, on to the pages….

Every year I always like to do a scrapbook page of our Holiday Traditions.  You know… putting the tree up, baking cookies with all the neighborhood kids, making the gingerbread house, yadda yadda!  This year is no exception and here is the layout. 

Here are a few close up pics…

So now a few details about this page!  The pockets were made using Kraft Envelopes.  Every year I take 1000′s of pics at Christmas time.  I don’t need 50 layouts on the subject so this gives me a way to compress all those pics right there into pockets.  The trees were cut using my Fiskars paper trimmer.  Truly done by eyeballing it.  The stars are felt cut using my Stars Bigz Die Cut.  I *LOVED* this idea.  It really made the tree’s pop out.  The stamp sets I used were Winter Post and Lovely as a Tree. The Alphabet is Contempo and Big Deal Numbers. 

This next layout was completely inspired by a layout I seen in my Scrapbooks Etc. Magazine on pg. 108.  I just loved this layout and I added a few twists to it. 

Here are a few close ups:

Do you have pictures of your kids sitting on Santas lap?  This layout is perfect for that.  I cut the Top Note from the Long Board Chipboard and then covered the bottom with Ski Slope designer paper.  Of course I had to put a banner on it.  Who doesn’t like a banner???  I used the Season of Cheer Rub on’s and then added our fun Felt Flurries at the top.  Again, I used Winter Post for the stamp set and Christmas Classics.  Two very fun stamp sets. 

I hope this inspires you to get your photo’s out this weekend and scrapbook.

A few RAKS to share!

Happy mail has been streaming into my mail box and it always puts a smile on my face. 

This beauty was a SUPER surprise I opened on Saturday from Kim Roberts.  Kim is in my downline and a SUPER demo.  When I opened the book I wanted to cry.  She took pictures I had shared from Founders Circle of me and my friends and each page was super special.  I know it took a lot of work and I feel pretty special to have this in my stamp room.  So Kim, Thank YOU for thinking of me! It’s very special to me. 

Now this card I have to admit was a SHOCKER.  I opened this on my way to pick the kids from school and almost fell out of my mini van with excitement.  Mary is another fabulous demo in my downline and this card announced that she is pregnant.  I am soooooooo excited for her. 

This time of year is a great time to show appreciation to my childrens teachers.  I decided to do a 12 days of Christmas with them.  So everyday they will receive a hand stamped gift from me.  This one has very little stamping and a little contraband from Micheals.   I just loved these tins as well.  I got them from Hobby Lobby. 

I placed ornaments inside for each teacher.  Well, it’s time for scrap club.  Can’t wait to share our layouts with you.  I am SUPER excited about these.  Whoo Hoo!!!!
