Giveaway + Special Offer for Ali Edwards Yesterday & Today Class from Big Picture Classes!

Happy Monday, everyone! We have an exciting giveaway for you today! Big Picture Classes is giving away one spot in Ali Edwards class called “Yesterday & Today”!

Join popular blogger and scrapbooker Ali Edwards, along with a diverse group of memory keepers, as they learn to make meaningful connections to their past in order to live their life in a more thoughtful way. Projects are limited to one layout a week that address the questions listed below.

Are you new to online education? Aliโ€™s robust, cutting-edge online classroom provides content in multiple learning platforms: video, audio and traditional written handouts. The classroom also houses sharing galleries and multiple message boards. This is your last opportunity to participate in Yesterday & Today at Big Picture Classes. Donโ€™t miss out on this popular class!
Ali says, โ€œThe benefit of looking to the past is that we gain perspective. We see things differently after developing an awareness of what we know and what we wished we knew. Looking back, even if we’re just viewing old photos of people we don’t know, can change the way we approach the photos we take and the stories we tell today.โ€

Just leave a comment below to be entered into our drawing! The winner will be announced here on Wednesday, December 22nd – someones going to get an awesome Christmas gift!

SPECIAL OFFER: Big Picture Classes is also offering our readers a 10% discount on this class! Just use coupon code: yesterdaytoday during checkout.

Countdown till Christmas!

Are you ready for Christmas? I can hardly wait to see my family open their gifts – I swear waiting for that is the hardest part! I have a few cookies to bake and some planning for the dishes I’ll be preparing, but other than that, we are good to go!

This little ornament above was made by my mom – no pattern, all hand cut out of felt – AMAZING! Can you just imagine a tree with a ton of these little guys? Beyond adorable!

This Monday we have an awesome giveaway that I’m so excited for! And, then, we’ll be off until after Christmas! We have BIG, BIG plans for when we get back ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s am amazing and wonderful season! Love you all!

December Daily Album – first half

How is your December Daily project going? I’m having so much fun with mine! I’m also so happy I took Ali’s advice to do the base of the album early, before December started, so during December all I would have to do is add the photos and journaling! LOVE IT!

Here’s a peek into my album:
I will have to fill in the present list later – some family members read this blog ๐Ÿ˜‰
(page 13 is missing it’s photo still, waiting to pick up that order today!)
Those are the papers I used to wrap the presents this year! (above in the squares)
This little pocket will hold special memories – today I wanted to journal about special holiday memories I have from past years so I’ve been collecting special photos for this pocket to hold ๐Ÿ™‚

Lots of photos – thanks so much for taking a peek into my album! I do know that next year I might have to get a printer that can print photos – I think that would make this project a lot easier! Right now I’m running back and forth to the photo place ๐Ÿ˜‰

Merry Christmas!

Paper Christmas Trees!

I just LOVE little Christmas trees! My mom has some fun vintage ones that I drool over every year when she puts them out. This year, I was super excited to come across this tutorial at domestifluff.com – the first thing I thought of when I saw it was CHRISTMAS TREES!

For these little trees you’ll need some wood spools, a dowel that fits into the spools hole and some paper. The cone is optional and really not needed! I thought I would need it to form the paper cones, but you don’t! For the paper, I printed out some papers from our digital Christmas Papers.
I covered the spools in some Martha Stewart tinsel glitter and regular glitter – soooo pretty!
The tutorial has a pdf that you can print out of the cone shape – I ended up printing the pdf at different sizes so my trees would all be different sizes – turned out super cute!
Don’t forget to add some stars at the top and some clear glitter on the trees for snow! Also, buttons make super cute little ornaments on the trees, too!
Can’t wait to put these on display in our little “Christmas village”! Now I just need some houses ๐Ÿ™‚

These are the papers I used – they are 20% off during the entire month of December! Actually, everything in our digital shop is, so make sure you take advantage of that amazing sale!
Tomorrow I will be sharing the first 15 pages of my December Daily album! It’s been such a fun project – I can’t wait for you to see it!
