The Magic of Christmas

Number of View: 268

Last year and the year before, I created 5×5 Christmas cards to send to families and friends. But, this year to save money on postage, I created 5×7 layout. =)

I used “The Magic of Christmas” digital scrapbook kit by StarLight Designs.

I propped my kids up for the photo shoot. Duh~ me! I should’ve avoided all the yellowness. Next year, I shall use a white background.

My kids had more fun taking photos of our hamsters. It was not easy as they were wigglier than my kids. Next year, I shall not include rodents in the Christmas card.

I got my cards printed from Color Inc Pro Lab. And, I was very  impressed with their quality and service. I placed the order on Friday night, and received the package on Monday. I will definitely order from them again.

I’ve been sick since Black Friday with cold and didn’t have whole lot of energy to craft. So, I did simple decoration on the back of the photo cards.

Cardstock: a muse studio twas the night before christmas; polka dot grass
Die: a muse studio tree
Ribbon: a muse studio baker’s twine – cherry/white
Jewel: a muse studio twinkle stickers – cherry dots
Pen: silver pen

Have a wonderful Christmas! I hope to blog and craft more next year. Okie, off to take some cold medicine and sleep.

Happy Holidays!!!

Teeheehee =)

I had so much fun making Christmas photo card last year, I decided to make another whimsical one this year.

Digital scrapbook kit: Winter Fishing by OlgaUnger Designs

Photo cards were printed from Persnickety Prints. I placed the order around 2 am. Received an “Your package is on its way” email around 7 pm! Will definitely order from them again.

I stamped on a 5×5 cardstock, and attached it to the back of the photo.

Whispers from the Soul

I love fantasy layouts created with digital scrapbooking kits. And, to improve my skill, I recently took a Shadows class by Miss Behaving. I thought I understood everything right after her class. But, I was so embarrassed how little I remembered the techniques I learned as I was working on this layout. Definitely need to practice more.

Don’t you just love all the white space?! Hehe. I love simple, clean, and minimalist designs but always have a hard time creating one myself. Any tips/tricks you can share?

Stitching with a real thread.

An easy way to create a hybrid layout: Just cut the extra elements and add it with foam adhesive! =)

Add a pearl sticker to the wheel.

Here’s a hybrid scrapbook layout featuring my daughter Bailey. She is a beast disguised in sweetness, heehee. She used to be so easy to take care of. I said to everybody that I could have 100 more babies like her. But, ever since she learned to cruise around, she became a totally different baby. After a recent potty incident (don’t even wanna go into the detail), I don’t know if I could handle another toddler. Heeheehee.

Another awesome digital kit from theDailyDigi.com‘s The Digi File. This plus 4 other full kits + templates for only $5! Only available for this month. Every month, The Daily Digi features different designers kits.
