Quick class card



My card class last night featured the cute and versatile Festival of Trees stamp set & punch. We made 5 very different cards.



I thought I'd share a quick video about my favourite. If you're panicking about not having made your Christmas cards yet, you could bang out multiple copies of this in no time. The base is cut using the Project Life large framelit die and the shapes are all punched out. The only thing that takes any real time is waiting for the glitter glue to dry. Plus, it's a titchy card so it won't use up too much of your precious supplies! The finished card is 3x4" and you can make an envelope for it using the envelope punch board with a 6x6 sheet of paper.

If you're in the Stockport area & fancy crafting with me I'll be running a regular monthly class in the new year. I'll post a class schedule shortly. In the meantime, keep in touch with me via my Facebook page.


Here's what I used!

Project Life Hello December journal - cover (video)


If you're planning on keeping a December journal you need to prepare well in advance. The first couple of weekends in November are ideal - Christmas ads are all over the telly & it feels kind of festive but you really can't dive headlong into Christmas JUST yet, so treat yourself to a little taster, complete with glitter & sequins & snowflakes.

I decorated the covers of my album this week. I used the December Wonder stamp set for the snowflakes (heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder). The wood Joy plaque & "remember this" are from the Hello December accessories pack, as are the number stickers. Use Crystal Effects to glue the wood plaque & sequins on & they should stay put. 

I've also made a start on my opening page. 


If you watched the video I posted last week you'll recognise the reindeer from the Boden catalogue.  I popped my Project Llife 3x4 Framelit over him & it cut out to the perfect size for the pocket.

I might add to it as I go along or leave it as it is. My usual style is to embellish each page like I do the front cover, but that's so time consuming that I'm going to make an effort to leave it clean & simple this year.

December journal time!



**FREE CLASS**


If  you're interested in keeping a December journal & you live local to me (Stockport, UK), order the elements listed at the bottom, from my Stampin' Up! shop, & I'll give you a free 1-2-1 class on how to approach Project Life and keeping a December journal, plus some handmade journaling cards that will co-ordinate with the Hello December kit. Email me at bracegirdlesam@gmail.com when you place your order.


I've kept a scrapbook type journal of my family's life each December since 2008. It's a daily record of us as a family each December & it's fascinating to see the changes, year on year.

My kids are a bit older now, but I value doing it even more. As they start to grow away from me, and having a photo taken seems more of a chore than the lark it was when they were little, Christmas festivities give me a legitimate reason for taking pics and capturing their last precious moments of childhood...

Goodness. How very mawkish! But if you've got teenagers I'm sure you know what I mean.

Last year I made a very elaborate December album. So elaborate, in fact, that I  used up all my mojo making it & by day 17 I got fed up & stopped filling it in. 

I learned a valuable lesson, and this year I've pared things right down. I'm going to use the Project Life method to keep my Christmas journal. I'm using the Hello December cards, accessory pack and PL album from Stampin' Up! and I'll complete it with photos and other bits and pieces from my stash.  I'm confident it will let me to balance creativity with the inevitable demands on my time that December brings!

Here's a video overview of the kit, plus you can have a look at some of the Christmas journals I've done  before.
