This layout was created in my EXTRA Happy, Happy Christmas scrapbooking layout workshop. You can recreate this layout using <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9427">Happy, Happy Christmas My Crush</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9426">Happy, Happy Christmas Picture My Life cards</a></u></b>, <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9284">City Sidewalks complements</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9288">Oh Deer coordinating cardstock</a></u></b>. <br />
<br />
Elements of this design were suggested for the hinged display. Once I created all of my layouts in the Happy, Happy Christmas bundle I used remaining City Sidewalks complements, left over seaglass and white daisy cardstock to turn this into a two-page layout with picture my life spaces in the right. </div>

My husband and I try to beat each other to the mailbox each day so we can open the mail first! If more than one card comes sometimes we'll share the joy of opening them... we love it!<br />

What do you do with all of the Christmas cards that you receive? Do you display them? Keep them in a fun mailbox or container? What do you do with them when it's time to pack up Christmas or take down all the cards you have hung up?<br />
<br />
I'm a Christmas card collector! For sure. Are you surprised? In the 11 years that my husband and I have been married I have save each and every one. We always put them up in a wall, door or some kind of display and then around February-ish I take them all down and put each on in our Christmas card scrapbook.<br />
<br />
I have one (well just started our second last year) scrapbook for our Christmas cards. Each year I create a one page layout with our card and include all the cards from friends and family in layouts to follow. I generally carry thru one element from my main layout each year so i can easily tell which year cards are from.<br />
<br />
This is my 2015 title layout, our card fit on the photo mat. This year was the first that I used PML memory pages to keep all the other cards in. This worked really well - I usually trim the cards down to just the main photos to make it all fit. I also carried the element of the trees throughout the other pages.<br />
<br />

This page was created using <a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9372">Rustic Home fundamental paper</a>, City Sidewalks paper, City Sidewalks washi tape as well as white enamel dots. The trees can be created easily from rectangles. Make the rectangle the height you'd like the trees and the width you'd like. Once you have your rectangle, find the midpoint of the top, make a cut from that point to the bottom corner on each side. Hello, Christmas tree!<br />

Don't you just love all these glacier patterns?! I created this layout using<a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9427"> Happy, Happy Christmas My Crush</a> papers,<a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9426"> Happy, Happy Christmas Picture My Life cards</a> and <a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9284">City Sidewalks complements</a>. With a little slate cardstock this page is ready for any number of winter pictures!<br />
<br />
Remember more picture can be added by simply using flip flaps!! A 6x12 flip flap would fit perfectly over the center photo mat strip and instantly you would have more space for so many more pictures or journaling.<br />

This layout was created at my EXTRA Happy, Happy Christmas scrapbooking layout workshop. We created 8 layouts!!! We did all of that in just 3 hours! It was so fun and so productive. I cannot wait to add pictures from this year's Christmas time to my layouts. It will be so slick. The best part of layouts that are all ready done and they can be finished by quickly adding pictures and if you need more space for more pictures it's easy to add flip flaps or pocket pages plus to get a few more in! <br />
<br />
Oh! And... I can coordinate our outfits to match my pretty papers! What?! C'mon, I know you do that too... <br />

This layout was created in my EXTRA Happy, Happy Christmas scrapbooking layout workshop. You can recreate this layout using <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9427">Happy, Happy Christmas My Crush</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9426">Happy, Happy Christmas Picture My Life cards</a></u></b>, <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9284">City Sidewalks complements</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9288">Oh Deer coordinating cardstock</a></u></b>. This layout design was one of the layouts you could create using the November Happy, Happy Christmas bundle from CTMH. I added an additional My Crush page, brown floral pattern, to my layout to fit my tastes and photos. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What's that? You didn't get the the November special and it's December 20th? No problem! You can still purchase these papers and cards separately throughout the end of the month on <u><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/"><b>my website</b></a></u>!</div>

Scrapbook LayoutIt's Christmas week!!! Christmas means many different things to different people. I love Christmas time! Every bit of it... the hustle and bustle, the glow of lights, the gatherings and celebrations, the magic, the hope and gift of love, Christmas Eve service, picking out the perfect gifts, taking time to smile on the memories I have of family watching down on us and think about the blessings in my life.<br />
<br />
I take so many pictures during December to document our days and traditions and I look forward to documenting Christmas in my albums each year. I have a layout ready to share with you each day this week to celebrate my favorite time of year! <br />
<br />
This layout was created using <a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=Oh+Deer"><u><b>Oh Deer! papers</b></u></a>. I love this paper and love the natural look you get when using with with kraft paper. However, you'll notice I added some <a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=glitter+paper"><u><b>gold glitter paper</b></u></a> to bling it up! The title
Christmas is cut using the <a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=thin+cuts"><u><b>CTMH Christmas Thin Cut</b></u></a>. <br />

I try to hold off until after Thanksgiving but I'm going with, "Really?! Why wait?" It's getting chillier but we still have a brown ground. My kiddos were hopeful we'd get our piece of the first snowstorm of the winter, but it missed us. (I'm okay with that for now...)<br />
<br />
What have you been working on lately? Do you have any Christmas crafts that you're trying to get ready for the holiday season?<br />

I am loving fall right now. Seriously, November 6th is usually not shorts and t-shirt weather in Minnesota and we've been sporting them all weekend long. Love it!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought I would share a layout with you that we created at a workshop back in August using <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=Florence">Florence</a></b> papers. I love this paper for late summer, autumn projects. It is rich in color - just beautiful. It was a paper pack featured in Seasonal Expressions 2 that retired August 31st, but... it's back! While supplies last you can have your pick at the <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9177">Florence paper</a></b>, <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9178">Florence complements</a></b> and <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9181">Florence Sequins</a></b>. Perfect timing to bring such beautiful paper back, in my opinion! <br /><div>
<br /></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Layout created with Florence Papers and Flower Market (Cricut).</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />To create this layout I used one piece of pattern paper and cut it diagonally to create the background. I used my <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9395&ci=6694">Cricut Flower Market</a></b> cartridge to create the title. "Autumn" is a special cut on this cartridge that cuts proportionately to the banner. "Splendor" is cut using the 2 fonts on the cartridge, a plain-slim font and a curly-slim font. I also was able to cut the wheat from Flower Market. The saffron pattern paper is also from the Florence paper and then I used peacock as an additional color. Add some sequin and... done!</div>

Hello, friends!! I hope you have plans for a spooky fun day! We have 3 little monsters (well... Waldo, Police Office and a "tree climber" aka Monkey) ready to enjoy their day and collect candy. As they collect their candy and bounce through their day with smiles and sugar I plan to collect memories - many of them! Ok... and a few pieces of their candy!</div>
<br />
So, I thought I'd bee-bop in and share some Jeepers Creepers cuteness with you. <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=jeepers+creepers">Jeepers Creepers</a></b> is the new adorably spooky CTMH Halloween themed paper suite. Last month on <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-idea-book.aspx">my Close to My Heart site</a></b> there were super cute ideas of how to create with the paper. I used it for inspiration and came up with these two layouts.<br />

How fun is this paper pack? The little monster and the eyeballs are on opposite sides of one sheet so I was able to created both of these layouts using one piece of pattern paper. I marked my papers at 3 inches on one side and 9 inches on the other and then used two sheets of paper to form a long straight line to connect the diagonal line and trimmed away. If you have a longer paper trimmer that would make your job a little faster. :) The tangerine (new CTMH color this year!) is a trapezoid in the background as well. Each of the two trapezoids were made from one 6x9 rectangle. I marked on one of the longest sides at 3 inches and the other long side at 6 inches and then used my trimmer to make the diagonal cut. Then it's just paper piecing. </div>

Have you had a chance to check out the new <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9395&ci=6694">CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartridge</a></b>? As with all of the CTMH cartridges it is a treasure chest FULL of a year's worth of themes and occasions. The title, Halloween, for these layouts comes from this cartridge. Love the font style of this! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I embellished these layouts just enough to make it pop. Depending on the layout I either used the <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=jeepers+creepers">Jeepers Creepers washi tape</a></b> or the zip strip from the pattern paper. <i>Tip: </i> Make your paper go further! Cut the zip strip behind the photo mat and leave a gap so you only have to use one zip strip as it's only 12inches long and the diagonal gets a bit longer. The green washi tape on top of my 5x7 photo mats is from this suite as well. I used the "berries" from the September <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/sotm/2016/1610-yuletide-joy.aspx">SOTM</a></b> to stamp the tangerine dots around the title. I actually love how they reassemble the eyes in the paper in the second layout. <i>Tip:</i> Try not to limit yourself when working with your stamps... many stamps have many possibilities when you look at them from another angle! </div>

Finally, I got my shimmer on!! Tricky to see in my pictures but I used my <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9403">shimmer brush</a></b> on my title that was just black card stock to give it some great dimensions and shimmer. Also, I added shimmer to eyes and monsters through the pattern papers. LOVE THIS TOOL!!! </div>

Sunday Paper Delivery...So... not to say I haven't been playing with paper and enjoying spending some weekend time or Sundays with my favorite paper, but... I may have been heading in this direction and that and not delivering. <br />
<br />
Here we are, friends, Sunday morning and time to enjoy your favorite paper with your cup of coffee and pjs! Today I bring you a birthday card created using Jeepers Creepers. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuiy23DV6Qi8ZNf6rLVGMV5DnjTlB3Kpr5sNt3zjrij049y1GyyxGeVM1-5XfFKjzGPeZaRCebPwUfSTuOn00w8IUIu5NbjBSLRLvFF6x8OQWQXaBHEoaN5HWEeYEOBVIFZExQyku15VI/s1600/2016JeepersCreepersBirthdayCard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuiy23DV6Qi8ZNf6rLVGMV5DnjTlB3Kpr5sNt3zjrij049y1GyyxGeVM1-5XfFKjzGPeZaRCebPwUfSTuOn00w8IUIu5NbjBSLRLvFF6x8OQWQXaBHEoaN5HWEeYEOBVIFZExQyku15VI/s400/2016JeepersCreepersBirthdayCard.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Card created using Jeepers Creepers and Flower Market. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br /></div>
I used the Jeepers Creepers washi tape to embellish the front of the card as well as my mini stapler and my favorite new tool... the shimmer brush! It's hard to tell in the pictures but up close and personal many of the monsters have a little sparkle to them. Monsters are less scary with glitter, right?!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used one of the stamp sets that comes with the new <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9395&ci=6694">CTMH Flower Market Cricut Cartridge</a></b> to stamp my sentiments on the outside and inside of my card. The monster that I stamped on the inside comes from a retired stamp set, Love Ya Silly. There is a current monster stamp set, <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9511">Monstrous Halloween</a></b>, that would do the same trick; Monstrous Halloween also comes in a <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9413">thin-cut</a></b> bundle if you're interested in that! Finally, I used my <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=shin+han">Marigold ShinHan marker</a></b> to color in the white polka dots of the monster to complement the tangerine paper on the outside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Jeepers Creepers doesn't have to just be Halloween paper. There are definite themes of the <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.closetomyheart.com/retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=217">CTMH paper packs</a></b>, but taking a look from a different angle can give you a whole new purpose for the papers you love!<br />

CTMH is excited it's June too! In addition to Convention this month they have a party for all of us all month long! CTMH is having Flash Sales throughout the month of June. They will be offering great deals on bundles of discounted Close to My Heart products every weekend! You can find these deals on my <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/">Online Business Address (OBA)</a></b> each Friday afternoon at 4pm CST.<br />
<br />
There will be lots to choose from, but you'll need to snatch them up quick, because they're only available through the following Monday while supplies last! Bundles will vary each weekend. Some will have only new product, some will have only retired product and others will contain both! CTMH will also be posting artwork on their blog (<a href="http://blog.closetomyheart.com/">blog.closetomyheart.com</a>) each weekend showing what you can create with some of the bundles offered for the weekend.<br />
<br />
Bundles will be available at various discount levels and price points through the month, so check every weekend to see the new offerings. They even have a countdown <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1606-flash-sale.aspx">here</a></b>! hahaha! Remember, these discounts won't last forever, and some will be gone in a flash, so act quickly to score the best deals!<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: #e69138;">Stamp of the Month: The Long Way Home</span></u></b><br />
It's traveling season! This stamp set will compliment any of your destinations!! During June, you can get this SOTM set, The Long Way Home for only $5 with every $50 purchase!<br />

</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me tell you a little bit more... </span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">During April, Consultants are in the Consultant Preview Period for Seasonal Expressions 2 and the May National Scrapbooking Month special.

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*Does not include Hostess Rewards stamp sets, Stamp of the Month stamp sets or Operation Smile stamp sets.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Close to My Heart is changing their stamp policy program. Currently, upon release each stamp set continues to be available for a year before they retire and Cricut compatible sets have remained available indefinitely. <br />
<br />
The new policy, effective immediately, is that stamp sets will be retired when the Idea Books they are featured in retires. This means that we all need to be sure to scoop up our favorites when we see them! Stamp sets featured in Seasonal Expressions 1 will be retired at the end of that idea book on April 30, 2016. Stamp sets featured in Annual Inspirations 2015-2016 and any other stamps sets featured online will be retired on July 31, 2016. There is a small list of exceptions in stamps that will carry over, as I find out more I will share. <br />
<br />
Now is the perfect time to stock up and save on your favorite stamp sets before they retire!! One more reason Stampaganza is just plain awesome - get some of your favorites FREE on my <a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/"><b>shopping site</b></a> all month long!<br />

<br />
I hear Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow which is supposed to mean early spring, right?! Sa-weet!! I love a nice sunny day! However, in Minne-snow-ta we didn't seem to get the same memo. :) Today our phones rang early in the morning to let us know we had a "snow day"!! BONUS!! I love bonus days! Happy to have some fresh snow to play in and enjoy the winter days and then Punxsutawney Phil I'm ready for the early spring you predict. Happy Groundhogs Day!<br />
<br />

<br />
I am here to share a layout with you today that you could create and put your favorite pictures from your New Year's Eve celebrations as you count down to 2016. It could also be used to highlight your favorites from this last year. It could be a place for your family's new year resolutions or goals. It would look great displayed in your home in a Designed Decor frame or placed at the beginning of your 2016 Family Album. The possibilities are endless!! :)<br />
<br />

<br />
As I played with the paper pack of the month this month, <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=120">La Vie En Rose</a></b>, I quickly loved all the the black and white patterns!! Each of these pattern pieces are from the La Vie En Rose paper pack. The 6th pattern that belongs to the paper pack is a colorful rose pattern. <br />
<br />
"Pop, Fizz, Clink" is a cricut cut from the new Artistry CTMH Cricut Collection. The other embellishments on this layout include: Bodacious Banners stamping, In Review stamping, Watercolor, Gold glitter paper, Gold Fundamental Assortments, Pomegranate Fundamental Assortments, Gold foil tape and Itty Bitty Sparkles.<br />
<br />
Do you have any crafting goals for the new year? One of mine is to keep my <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=76">Designed Decor</a></b> frame full all year. Ideally, I'd love to add a new layout or piece of art each month! Not only will this layout be out for my family and I to enjoy but it will be a layout that I can quickly and easily add to our family scrapbook. Who wants to join me?? I know YOU do so keep on reading to see how I'm going to help make getting started easy for you!! :)<br />
<br />
I'll keep you posted with upcoming workshops and classes!<br />
<br />
Stop back this week for new product reveals and January steals and deals!<br />

<br />
You know I was singing this song in my head for hours after I created the title on this layout! Sometimes songs just get stuck in your head! :)<br />
<br />
Have you had a chance to check out the beautiful CTMH <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Search.aspx?SearchValue=white+pines">White Pines</a></b> collection? It's available in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book but ONLY until December 31st! It's gorgeous and perfect for a variety of creating. The soft creams and browns pair beautifully for more natural scrapbook layouts and projects and the greens and reds scream "This is Christmas"!<br />
<br />
At my last Layout Workshop all three layouts we created used this paper collection. This layout was one of the layouts! I'd love to have you join me next time and if you're too far to stop in and attend purchasing a kit on the go is also an option (please let me know if that is something you're interested in)!<br />
<br />
In addition to the <b><a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Search.aspx?SearchValue=white+pines">White Pines paper</a> </b>this layout also features an overlay cut from the new <a href="http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=11http://ellielundstrom.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=11">Cricut Artistry</a> collection and embellished just enough with gold sequins for a clean look. <br />

I so am! I think it's because I've been preparing Christmas cards for my Christmas card buffet last month and have been playing with my papers of my upcoming layout workshop. I certainly don't have my holiday shopping done! :) Although, I have ideas swirling around... so I've got a start! :)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This Falalalala Christmas card was one of the cards that was available at my buffet in October. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have to say I love the simplicity of these trees and sentiment. This card features 5 of 7 of the new CTMH colors that were introduced in September (saffron, fern, peacock, poppy and pomegranate). I have found myself creating a lot with these new rich colors. They just look great, complementing each other well in multiple combinations and for many different projects! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the stamped images and sentiments come from a hostess rewards set available in Holiday Expressions, Festive Trees. </div>
