There's been a lot of fun new kits for the Holiday Season released over at Trixie Scraps lately. She's been doing a lot of collab work. One such kit that came about was My Shelf Elf. This is the first year we've ever done The Elf On The Shelf thing at our house, so I'm just barely getting pictures of it.

However, I still found an awesome use for this kit and I of course made a few things with it.

First and foremost, I did a tutorial on how to make a Facebook Timeline Cover Photo. You can read the tutorial here and this is what it looks like:

The next thing I did with this kit was to make a scrapbook page, of course. I took one of the templates one of the CT members made, which you can find here and went to work. Here's what we came out with:

Getting Caught Up

One of the best things about being a part of the Trixie Scraps Design Creative Team is all the work I've been accomplishing in such a short period of time. Here's 3 more additions to my digi-scrapping world...

My first one was a post about getting your Christmas Cards made now. Read here for detailed instructions.

The next page I was able to create was about creating your own handwriting as a font. Yes it is possible and you can do so for free. Here's more info and here's the page I made:

Finally one of the other CT members needed a couple pages made to show off the template she made. You can download her template here and here's the page I made:

Last Christmas...

I've been neglecting this blog for awhile...I've done quite a bit of digital scrapbooking lately for different projects, but I forget to post about them. I'll try to work on it.

As for tonight I am realizing I never posted about the Christmas gifts we gave to our siblings this past year....

My little sister hasn't mastered the art that is digital scrapbooking/crafting/whatever yet, so she asked me to make this for her friends Christmas gift. I obliged cause I'm that AWESOME of a sister and then I got to thinking. (A dangerous pasttime, I know) I decided I could do something a little different.

I decided we would find a song that closely represented our feelings for the certain sibling or something we wanted them to know. This was a challenge, but my dear hubby even helped me out with some of the song choices. What can I say? He loves me.

So, I got to work making the overlay outline. Then I had to type each song and get it to fit. Sometimes that was a challenge. Then we printed it off and I had repainted 'cheap' picture frames (Hey, we were talking like 10 frames here - I come from a large family) to match a color in the picture.

I didn't take step by step pics, but I will share the completed pictures and then a picture of them all in the frames. This gift was much better received than I ever imagined!!!

To see the pictures bigger, you can just click on them and they will open up bigger! ;)
