December Days album 2015 - Day 18 - 24

Best wishes for the festive season to you Sassy friends!
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful 2016.

Wrapping up for the year, I would like to share the last few days of my December Album with you.

Day 18: I've cut up a Muffin Break coffee cup and punched it to include it in my album. I love the Aussie Summer elements they have on them, like the festive Cockatoo! Over that I've stuck a Simple Stories frame, used the countdown numbers and a few other stickers and embellies.

Day 18 detail:

Day 19: An Instax Mini 8 was at the top of my Christmas list this year! Such a fun little camera and so easy to include in this size album.

I've used the positive 'love this' die cut left over from Day 9, countdown numbers and a gorgeous tree paperclip.

Our annual family Christmas party is such a fun event, there's lots to jot down! I especially kept that super cute 2x2 'party' Sn@p card aside for this spread.

Day 19 detail

Claus & Co. Bits & Pieces, stickers and Heidi Swapp word jumble stickers

 More day 19:

Fun Claus & Co. Sn@p cards,  stickers and expressions stickers

Day 20: My neighbour put on a great show for all of us the other night.

To echo the firework theme, I have Minced this Christmas tag with gold sparkle foil.

More Day 20 detail: Some cute Heidi Swapp chipboard stars, Claus & Co. photo stickers and a glitter star sticker.

Day 21: My little monkey has her fist loose tooth! Very exciting.

Day 21 detail: I've included a left over Pink Paislee clear tag and underneith, popped some black alpha stickers from the Claus & Co. Expressions sticker sheet. There's also a little Claus & Co. tag and bow die cut as well as 'Ho Ho Ho' sticker.

Day 22: Christmas light fun.

 I quite like how the ampersand joined the numbers. I've machine stitched the card for some added detail.

The Santa face lifts up to reveal some journalling.

More Day 22:

As a divider, I've used this cute 4x4 Claus & Co. Sn@p card and added a little decorative edge using Heidi Swapp foil cardstock and a Fiskars edge punch.

Welcome to the bakery!

Day 23 detail: I'm imagining those are the cutest oven gloves hanging on the line ;)

Day 24: One more sleep!!

Day 24 detail: I've created another divider page using the 'Oh What Fun' 6x6 pad. Over that, I've popped a gorgeous 'Believe' die cut which has been cut with the HS glitter paper from the Foil/Glitter pad.

 The cutie pie lights are from Claus & Co. chipboard sticker pack.

It's not Christmas time in this house if we are not eating cold prawns!

 Wishing you good food, good times and many a crafty hour these holidays!

Merry Christmas

December Days album 2015 - Day 9 - 17

Hello again Sassy friends!

 

I'm back with you again to share the next few days in my December Days album with you. It's crazy to think that this time next week we will be dizzy with the excitement of Christmas morning!

Day 9:

I've used a Crate die with Heidi Swapp 'Oh What Fun' Glitter/Foil pad. The paper gives a really clean cut, I was very impressed.

This particular die is out of stock, but this one is super adorable

 A whole year of school is super exhausting! Layer up shapes, like this Oh What Fun chipboard star over the star print on the 2x2 Simple Stories Sn@p card.

Another pad I am loving as I mentioned is the Oh What Fun Vellum pad. I especially love the fact that you get a plain and print version of each colour. Here I have printed off the words of a modern Christmas carol we sang at my DD's end of year concert.

Have you heard that the Heidi Swapp Minc toner pens are back in stock in the store!

I have used mine to customise this Sn@p card with a bit of luxe. So easy to add a touch of foil just where you want it.

Day 10 detail: Oh What Fun Chipboard snowflake.

A few pops of red in the form of rhinestones for a bit of sparkle.

Day 11: Lots of gold in this spread! 

I've Minc-ed an Oh What Fun tag with gold and mounted inside a Claus & Co. chipboard frame, then punched it so I can add it to my binder. I've also split the number 11, adhering one to my frame and one to the protector sleeve. Not sure if it's a silly idea, but I like the way they sat at slightly different heights.

I got to play with this paper fringe tape from American Crafts the other day and I had a bit left over so I've popped some onto one of the divder pages I created using the Oh What Fun 6x6 paper pad.

Over the top, I've used some of the pearl cardstock shapes that come in the Countdown kit and backed them with some gold foil paper.

Tiny details include the left over bits that I pushed out of the big chipboard snowflake I used earlier on. They make a cute embellie for my bauble.

On the right hand side, I have attached a casette tape from an old pack of October Afternoon die cuts, using an eyelet and my Crop-a-Dial.

Day 12:

 

I've cut a star shape into a paper divider and matted it with striped black vellum. I've tucked a polaroid into the shape and popped some trees in the form of chipboard shapes and paperclips on top.

Day 13:

A simple composition of a 4x4 Sn@p card and a chipboard word 'Joy', finished with a tiny star sticker. The pack is very useful as it has three different kids on star shapes and this particular type is a solid plastic one.

More Day 13:

Create quick hidden journalling by using two 2x2 Sn@p card joined with washi tape and then stitch a bit of folded ribbon as a prompt to open.

 

Day 14

Sn@p cards, countdown numbers and star stickers.

Day 15: I've used my computer to add some text to my photo before printing. There are lots of mobile apps that do this these days. I've included the cutest shopping list - love the way 'milk' is spelled incorrectly!

Another shaker on a smaller scale. That little die cut was sent to me by a sweet friend all the way from France. Thank you V!

Day 16: I have wanted a lightbox for the longest time and was delighted to find a very well priced one at K Mart the other day - yippee! Our naughty Elf has been using it to leave messages for the kids. (I need to find some punctuation for it though - the lack of question mark drove me nuts, lol)

Day 17:

Create a cute scene with a hand cut tag, these gorgeous deer and a banner sticker.

 

More Day 17:

 

Little friends enjoying some Christmas crafting.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope your December album is coming along nicely.

Only 7 more sleeps!!

I'll be back next week. Until then, 

Happy Creating and Happy Holidays!
