Advent calendar

 

I started working on this after seeing one in Up2Scrap & wanted to avoid the children's character ones with a chocolate. I can't imagine I"ll work on it again till next November/December now but thought I post what I have done. I'm going to put bible verses & things we can do together on the lead up to Christmas. Posted by Picasa

Lara your calendar looks great you should keep doing it so that it is finished before next year.
By the way finally put something on my blog and even managed to post a picture so may get round to posting more often.
Also thanks for the Christmas card you sent nice to see we have some things in common.

Wow awesome Lara. I too saw that in Up2Scrap but just can't bring myself to scrap Xmas stuff yet. Can't wait to see it finished.

The advent calendar is a lovely idea. I only wish (last year) I'd seen it earlier in the year ... but I reckon you've got the best idea - start now in January so it's ready (no rush) for December.
Looking forward to progress updates!

I love this - I so hate those chocolate Bob the Builder "Advent' calendars. There's nothing Advent about them. I think I'll have to do one (two?)of these for next year, too.

Awesome Lara! I might do two of these as well! So much more personal and more fun than a chocolate one that falls down the back/melts or is just plain missing! Good on you!

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Camping with Jack

Welcome to our Jack Blog Hop! We are going to share with you, items from our Jack Paper Pack with various projects created by talented Close To My Heart Consultants.  If you are visiting from Brenda's blog then you are on the right track, if not please head back to visit Carol's blog where this blog hop begins. Jack papers were a bit of a challenge for me, especially after my enjoyment of working with Prickly Pear last month.  Luckily I enjoy a challenge and have one layout, and a process video, to share with you here (there are some other pages and projects shared previously on my blog - after the blog hop you can pop back and check them out). The challenge here was using 3 photos.  I have become adept at choosing just one photo that tells a story and adding journaling so I don't always need lots of photos on a page or two. But as this was about an event, there were more photos to place.  I made use of the Camping Life stamps for embellishing and addi...
