Christmas Photo Tray

 

Just a quick note to let you know I finally made my Christmas Photo Tray (a follow-up to my Fall Photo Tray project) and have it posted over at Ellen Hutson's the CLASSroom!  It uses wonderful products from Webster's Pages, Spellbinders, Sizzix, Melissa Frances, Martha Stewart, 7 Gypsies, and Copic!

Ellen also has an announcement in the post below mine about Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas.  You'll want to be sure and read that one, as there's some important information about the products Tim will be using to create his 12 tags this year, including a DISCOUNT CODE and a BLOG CANDY giveaway!!

 

JustRite Christmas

 

Today is JustRite Stamper's final week of 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops.  This is my project for it -- a customized holiday card and envelope.  You can find the full details about my card over at the JustRite Inspiration Blog, along with a list of all the designers hopping today.

Just a few quick details here -- I used one of my all-time favorite JustRite products to customize my project, their font!  This is how I have our return address set up -- on a 2" clear square stamper that I just change out the center image seasonally or with a monogram initial(s).  I used JustRite's 15-point Times New Roman font:

 

The poinsettia is from the 2" square Hearts Come Home set, which is in JustRite's Holiday Sale section and 25% off through November 29th!  I colored them with my Copic markers (colors listed below) and cut one out to put in the center of the round focal piece on my card.

 

JustRite is also sponsoring this week's 2 Sketches 4 You (2S4Y) sketch this week and I loosly based my card on the sketch.  If you'd like to try out the sketch this week, too, you could have the chance to win a JustRite prize package of 2 new cling stamp sets of your choice and a stamp storage box for them, a $50 value!  You can find full details over at the 2S4Y blog here.

If you haven't visited my blog this week, I've redecorated for the holidays!  If there's anything you can't seem to find or have a question to ask, you can do so in the Cbox Question box on the bottom left sidebar.

Wishing all of my U.S. friends a very happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I've already started cooking, how about you?!!

Just in case you may have been directed here with an incorrect link, my Spellbinders Holiday Hoppin' project and full details can be found over at the JustRite Inspiration blog today.  All comments to be eligible to win the big Spellbinders & Partner Company prize package must be made on the JustRite blog post.  You can read more about Spellbinders' 2-day Holiday Hoppin' event HERE.

 

This is an 8.5" x 11" Holiday Countdown Calendar that can either be hung on the wall, or magnets placed on the back and hung on the refrigerator.  The small mitten moves around (with either a magnet on the back or repositionable adhesive), counting down the days until Christmas! 

 

All stamps on the project are by JustRite Stampers, colored with Copic markers and die cut with Spellbinders Nested Mittens & Snowflake Borderabilities dies.  The December sign was die cut with brand new Spellbinders co-branded JustRite Custom Dies, Nested Sentiments.

The calendar is computer generated/printed and is available as a FREE download on the Download page of my blog.  A special thanks to my sweet friend, Lori, for the fabulous idea . . . Enjoy!

 

JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 11

 

Just popping in quickly to say that my project for this week's JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 11 is posted over at the JustRite Inspiration blog today.  We're also introducing this brand new cling set illustrated by Elizabeth Dulemba, the children's book illustrator and author.  Doesn't she draw the sweetest animals?!!  I was giggling the whole time I made this 6-inch door hanger!

I used my Copic markers to color Ellie and his sweet mouse friend that are decorating their Christmas tree!
