Praying for Snow by Lindsay (Our January Digi Guest CT)

I just love her photoless wish for the wintery white stuff, here's what she has to say, "I can't scrap any snow pictures because we haven't had any snow. It's been such a warm winter, but I'm not complaining. The boys on the other hand would love for those flakes to fall."

Relaxed by Art_Teacher

Laura says, "For this layout, I just had to use Bella Gypsy's "Sweet Serenity" kit, because it has paisleys in it! I always try to put them in my Paisley layouts. :)

Top of the World by Art_Teacher

Laura says, " For this reveal, I chose Silvia Romeo's "Circle of Life" kit. This kit is full of amazing and unique embellishments and gorgeously detailed papers. Plus, the color scheme is classic and nearly any photo could go with it! I love the romance of Silvia's kits, too, so I often use them for photos of me with my husband."

Snowflakes by Smiley-Scrap8

Ronny says, "My kids really enjoyed the amazing snowfall last year. I couldn't find a better kit to scrap these memories than Cold & Frosty by Crisdam Designs. I really love the snowflakes elements and the cute penguin, I can just feel the cool when I look at this page."

Sweet, Sweet Chubby Cheeks by Smiley-Scrap8

Ronny says, "My baby girl showing off her chubby cheeks. When I saw the new I Promise Kit by Kreations by Kami I knew it would be perfect for this photo. Her kits are the ones I go to when I have a special photo that I want to highlight. There is just something about her simple design and muted colors that helps my photos look there best."

For this double-pager Laura made a layout for her sister-in-law, she wanted a winter/Christmas kit with pink in it, because of her sweatshirt.She thought Theresa Hernandez's kit "Frolic and Play" went so well. 


Even though the pinks aren't exactly the same, she says it is a beautiful kit, full of so many fun, whimsical elements! Laura also used SAS Designs' P365 Templates and one of Bella Gypsys awesome Sketchology Templates:

Ronny was so excited to see this new Hanukkah kit by Amy Teets in the shop. Hanukkah is half of her family's  winter celebrations each year and she is usually left to scrap those photos with a snow kit or any kit that is mostly blue. Ronny says "It was a nice treat to get to scrap this special photo using the perfect papers and elements for the occasion":

Ronny also did her Christmas card this year with kits from Bella Bypsy Designs. Ronny says "Seeing as we send cards to family and friends that celebrate a range of holidays I chose to focus on spending time with family, regardless of what is being celebrated. Here is our fun, festive card featuring Holly Jolly by Bella Gypsy Designs":

Hybrid Stocking Stuffers & Decorations

Posted by milmomma (Brittney):

From Christmas carols to snowmen and snowflakes, the weather is changing and the season is upon us. We are all so busy with so much to do. 


The tinsel has to be hung and the cookies baked, but remember to take time to make something for you! Since I love to make hybrid things, I made some decorations for me and stocking stuffers for my kids. 


I even included a gift for my son's girlfriend that moved away.

I had a blast with the KaiserCraft train and some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. It was my first time using the mist, and my best advice is to cover every surface within a 3 foot radius. 


I made a mess with mine at first. After gluing down my papers I had to sand the edges to get them smooth, but I love the distressed look it gave them. I had to add some Prima Flowers and pearls to make some bling and give it some detail.

I also switched up the KaiserCraft Tree Album and turned it in to a tree to hang for my wall. I wanted to keep it simple and keep it toned down so it would stick out on my wall and the train would really stand out.

For my kids I wanted to use some of my fun Pinterest ideas and make some stocking stuffers that were more than just some plain candy. I made some snowman bars, some snowman kisses, and peek-a-boo snowman gum. I even covered some little notepads to give with some fun pencils. It was fun to decorate them with my punches and love.

I also had to come up with something special for Hannah, my son's girlfriend who moved away. I still had KaiserCraft's Present Album to decorate. I decided to use the Tattered Angel's Ink. It looked like nail polish with its little brush but turned out to be awesome to get in and around the edges of the album. 


Though I would have to say my hands were red for a few days after I got it done. With the pictures from last Christmas' photoshoot on one side and T'was the Night Before Christmas story on the back, it only needed some small details like some recycled cardboard and lace to finish it out. 


We gave it to them before they left so they would have some decorations for when they got back home.

Thank you everyone for looking and reading about my fun Christmas Decorations.
