When I started this project, I had planned on just one mini tree album. As I went a long, I ended up with two completely different ideas and decided to do them both for you. They can be used as a last minute gift or add your own photos and enjoy them throughout the holiday season. Both albums are fairly quick and easy. You can add as much or as little embellishment as you want.
Congratulations Amy Beth Ogden! You are the winner of the Pazzles Express giveaway! Santa has wrapped up a special mystery gift and it is on it's way to you! No peeking until Christmas morning!
I recently added the NEW pen tool to my collection of Pazzles tools. I have got to say that I love the flexibility of using lots of different sized pens of all shapes and sizes. So, I thought I would have a try at creating my own word circle sentiment. I used a simple Christmas Ornament file to create the base of my shaped card which I cut out of red cardstock and layered with patterned paper. (See Making Shaped Cards video tutorial).
Candles are one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I love the smells, the glow, and the warmth they add to a room. Sometimes though, the plain glass containers can be, well, a little boring. And really, who wants to look at the label or the other side with the warnings? I know I don’t. In about 15 minutes you can decorate them. All I did was gather a few files from the Craft Room Library and size them to fit my candles. The candles I had were small candles about 2.5". Gather some vellum, a couple buttons, some pearls, and some adhesive, and you are ready to go.
Santa and elf treat bags that are quick to make and could easily be made in volume whilst still cost effective!
Once the Christmas music has stopped playing on the radio, and there are more pine needles on the floor than on the tree, all that will be left of Christmas 2013 is the memories and the photos. Capture every little detail of this magical time with our newest cutting collection, Christmas Memories. We've designed five layouts with Christmas themes, so you can get those photos on the page quickly. The Christmas Memories Collection includes two double page layout spreads and three single page layouts. Both The Elf and the Cookie Making layouts have pull out journaling tags.

Fall reminds me of pumpkin patches, beautiful warm colors, and pumpkin rolls. Every year I like to make pumpkin rolls and slice them to be packaged as gifts. I love that my Inspiration makes it so easy to be able to put together a cute box in no time, to make these sweets extra special. I saw the Cupcake Favor Box in the library and thought this would be perfect! I simply enlarged it a bit more. To decorate my box I used several cutting files which can be found in the Craft Room Library.
All aboard for the Pazzles Twelve Days of Christmas celebration. The fun will start this Friday as we announce the theme of this year's projects and give you the first file. If you'd like to play along with us this year, we have just a small supply list you may want to gather. Pazzles Pen Tool Gold Pen (for use with the Pen Tool) Three Sheets 12" x 12" Gold Metallic Cardstock Assorted Christmas Colored 12" x 12" Sheets of Cardstock (about 20 red, green, black, yellow)
An unfortunate side effect of having an amazing Craft Room stuffed with project tutorials and cutting files is that sometimes it is hard to think of something new to make for a project. I was playing around with making a dimensional bird cage that wasn't looking quite right when I suddenly realized it looked more like a lantern. I added some snow and holly and they finally looked just right. These winter paper lanterns are a happy accident that I would love to share with you.
Today's sketch is a pocket gift card holder that doubles as a tag. Hang it on a gift bag, or directly on the Christmas tree as a Christmas morning surprise. Remove the snowflake from the cutting file, tie the tag around a bottle of wine, and it is a perfect hostess gift for a Thanksgiving invite. Have fun creating with this week's sketch and be sure and share your creations with us on Facebook or in the gallery albums!
Every year about this time I start thinking about creating a holiday mini album. Several years ago Ali Edwards started a great tradition of the December Daily album which has become wildly popular in the scrapbooking world. If you have never heard of a December Daily album, the idea is that you create a mini album during the month of December documenting all of your holiday celebrations and the little details of every day in December. I love the idea, but inevitably I find myself still thinking about the project well into December, and then I feel like I am too far behind to start. With my procrastinating self in mind I decided to get started early, and came up with our latest collection.
Every family has their own Thanksgiving traditions. It begins around the table with generations of love, delicious recipes and the memories of times past. A tradition we had growing is up is that all the children in the family sat at the kids table. I loved that it was set exactly like the grownup's table, except a miniature version just for us.
