The Scrapping Spot--Dec kit!!!

Hello everyone!! WOW..can you believe on a few short days until Christmas! I am almost done with all the shopping, only a few more gifts to get then finish wrapping them. I still have not sent out our Christmas tags! I have been slacking on that big time. I really just need to sit down and sign them, stick them in an envie, and call it done. But....I need to get started, YIKES! LOL...

Check out this kit from The Scrapping Spot...this kit features the beautiful Fancy Pants Christmas Magic collection. I've always been a fan of Fancy Pants and this kit has me drooling over them even more! It's also full of embellies like an acrylic Christmas tree, Kaiser Craft wood ornament, and SHIMMERZ! Man, this stuff was fun. I've never used it, but I painted the ornament and it's gorgeous. I LOVE it!!

For some gifts this year, I packaged a few handmade cards, wrapped it up in tissue paper and tied a pretty bow. Here are some of the cards I gave.... I used the quotes on the Fancy Pants patterned paers. It's cut in scallop because I cut the scallop border from it..LOL. It's the "Merry Merry" layout below...

For this card, I cut up the quote into strips--inking the edges and staggered them. I also added bling...can't forget that..LOL! Cut circles from scraps and added the tiny buttons.

More bling and a quote from the sticker sheet. I LOVE easy!

The gem tree is so cute! Added that extra umph for this card.

Here is the "Merry Merry" layout that used the scalloped border from the card earlier. We celebrate with our immediate family on Christmas Eve. We have a yummy feast and open gifts. This year Jasmin saved up all her gifts and piled them up high. While her brothers were ripping them op as they got them! I think she still had a few unwrapped gifts for a few days even after Christmas..LOL!

These pictures are from Christmas day. For event scrapping, I like to keep them pretty simple since I ALWAYS have tons of photos and unless I want 20 layouts for each year...I load my pages with pictures! My parents with the kids....

I had Jasmin write the journaling on here. She has AMAZING writing skills at 6 years old. She writes better than me! LOL! Check out the wooden ornament. The paint from the SHIMMERZ is awesome. I added some of the bling to jazz it up...

Finally, the kiddos....day in, day out, happiness, stress, joy, laughter, and tears...no matter whay...they will always be our precious gifts.

Wow, I can't believe it's almost Christmas and it's almost the end of another year. This year surely flew by...I think I say that every year! I was really busy with life and creating took a back seat. I hope next year life will slow down even just a little bit. I miss crafting, scrapping, and just overall fondling of papers, buttons, flowers, and bling..LOL....
Thank you so much for visiting....until next time...hugs!
