I love everything about Christmas...it really is my favourite time of the year. I also love the idea of the December Daily Album, however that's too overwhelming for me. I started one in 2008 and it's still unfinished.
I still want to document the special Christmas memories, so I decided to make a mini album called a maze album. I will only use photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in this teeny little album. The beautiful colours in this week's Play Date Cafe challenge were the inspiration for my little Christmas project.

My challenge for you is to make a mini album for any occasion.
There are so many different types of mini albums. Go ahead and have fun.

Tuesday Trigger - Partridge in a Pear Tree

Love this week's trigger on Moxie Fab World. Such beautiful colours and textures. I embossed silver on white and gold on kraft. I used PTI's Background Basics: Tin Types for the patterns.

PTI Blog Hop - November & CFC #29



SAM_0263
What a beautiful inspiration photo. I loved the arrangement in the silver bucket/pot so I took my lead from that. I used a few stamp sets on this card. I used the topiary image from Everyday Button Bits for the pot, the branches were from Iconic Images and the berries from Harvest Berries. The sentiment is from Wonderful Words: Holiday.
I used the sketch from the challenge on CAS-ual Fridays blog for some added inspiration.

Christmas Poinsettia

SAM_0262
I absolutely adore poinsettias. The minute I saw this PTI stamp set, Christmas Poinsettia, I fell in love with it. The challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey is to create a project with Christmas/the holiday season in mind, so this is my entry for that challenge.

CFC #28 - Tag You're It.


SAM_0260
This week's challenge at CAS-ual Fridays blog is to create a clean and simple tag or a project that has a tag on it.
I used the PTI Button Card die for the base of my tag.

Moxie Fab Medallions Challenge

SAM_0257
One of the challenges over at Moxie Fab World is to create a paper crafted project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that incorporates a three-dimensional medallion or award medallion in an innovative way.
I love using these medallions on my projects.

WMS CASE Competition

Time to CASE a project from one of the DT members from Waltzingmouse Stamps. I just love these projects from Mona and Jennifer. They both made projects which encorporated 'petal' enclosures. I was going to make a CD cover using this design but then I remembered I had saved a tutorial for a petal box a couple of years ago. To my greatest surprise this was a tutorial posted by Katie Renz. This brought tears to my eyes as I thought of the inspiration Katie has given me in my crafting over the years. So I dedicate this post to beautiful, brave Katie and her wonderful family. They are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. This box is filled with love and wishes for health and happiness to each and everyone of you. God bless.
