Christmas Confetti Cards

I recently shared a DIY for these Mini MiniBooks and they were popular in my shop, so I decided to do a Holiday Edition. I had a customer ask if I could create just a 3"x4" Confetti Card, like the cover of the Mini MiniBook. So I did! :) These are much like my Confetti Windows that have been a super popular item in my shop (only these are sewn to paper), and like the covers to a lot of my wedding books over the years.... just smaller :) These are perfect for PL. Perfect. So all you PL'ers - these little cuties are now available in my shop :)

-------------------------

In other news:

+ I will be making more of the regular (Non-Holiday) Mini MiniBooks and putting them in the shop later this week -- these are perfect stocking stuffers, and they are $10, shipped :) 

+ Be on the lookout for a Black Friday coupon code this week. Get some of your holiday shopping done in your PJ's, in the comfort of your home :)

+ Thank you all so, so much for reading here and for your support with my shop. My family and I are grateful! Thank you!! 

Mini MiniBooks: Holiday Edition

I made a few more of the Mini MiniBooks using Holiday scrapbooking papers. I have a bunch of vintage Christmas cards and children's books (damaged, but some pages were salvageable!), and included those in each of the books :) Super easy to make yourself - think old Christmas cards, or wrapping paper adhered to cardstock, a couple sheets of Christmas-y paper, and cardstock and you'll have a lovely little book to jot holiday notes and memories in. These are also available in my shop. 

DIY: Mini MiniBooks

I have a ton of paper scraps laying around (yes, I have a paper problem ;)) from various projects. I also have a ton of Project Life cards that I've collected over time (at this point, I do not do Project Life - I reallllly want to try it come January 1. I love the idea of it. Love it). So what better to do than put them into a little album?! I made these up over the course of 36 hours and love them. I put these in my shop, but plan on making a few more for family and friends for Christmas. Perfect to throw in your purse or bag and jot a note or thought.

Any types of paper would do - old junk mail envelopes deconstructed and cut down, card stock or scrapbooking paper (if you have a local craft store, you would only need a few sheets -- you can get 12 pages out of one 12"x12" piece of scrapbooking paper. Use some chipboard (or cut down a cereal box :)), and finish off with binder rings (available at office supply stores - or I have some available in my shop here), or use ribbon! Voila! A cute little book that's fun to jot in :)

new in shop: december daily kits - version 2

I just added some more December Daily Holiday Journals to the shop :) These are smaller - 4"x6" and are full of beautiful papers and come with a 55+ piece embellishment kit. Perfect to document the upcoming holidays :) Check them out here. And check out all of the holiday goodies available here.

A very happy birthday to my daddy today! 

And a huge thank you to all who have served our country. Thank you :)

New in Shop: Holiday Goodies

Happy Monday :) I've updated the shop with a few Holiday Journal Kits (!!!!!!!), embellishment kits, Holiday scrap packs, vellum numbers and vellum stars (think December Daily!), October afternoon stickers, Studio Calico journaling cards and more. I will be adding some more embellishments this week, as well as some more Holiday Journals (different than the ones below). Quantities are super limited this year, so be sure to snag one early :)

30 Days of Thankful

Happy November! Today begins a month-long project of documenting a gratitude each day - 30 Days of Thankful. Last year, I worked on this throughout the month and loved it. I shared a bit here on the blog, but mostly just kept a list of my thankfuls here in my workspace.

I keep a gratitude journal anyways, but I love a specific list that I keep throughout this month. A month that ends with Thanksgiving (for those here in the US), and is right before the Christmas season. It's a good time to focus on the gratitudes. The little and big blessings that come our way each and every day. I believe that even on the difficult days, there is always a thankful, even if it is tiny.

Won't you join me on this month-long project? Just keep a pad of paper and pen handy. Jot down a gratitude each day. Keep a journal. Create a mini album. Whatever you want it to be. Just go for it!
