Make Great Memories this December!

Has 2020 been a difficult year for you? That's a silly question, right? While 2020 has not exactly been the year any of us imagined, I'm hoping to end it on a good note. December brings lots of traditions and Christmas fun, and I want to make this month a good one for my family. To document those memories, I've created a December Photo Album, and I want to offer it as a class for you so that you can preserve your memories this month too!

 

To create the album, we'll use the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack, which includes some beautiful cards that are perfect for making Christmas cards as well! If you'd like, I have an optional add-on class that will allow you to make 10 Christmas cards (or more!) as well.

 

Or perhaps you're not that crafty, but you like this idea and want a finished album that you can add your photos too. I'm here for you too! Check out the options for this class:

Option #1 ($55): This option includes a Black 6 x 8" Photo Album, 2 packages of Photo Pocket Pages, the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack, and a package of Wonderful Gems. I'll also include a few cardstock pieces that you'll need, as well as instructions for putting your album together.
Option #2 ($65): Want the album, but you'd rather have it put together for you? This option is for you! I'll make your album for you and send it to you ready to fill with photos and memories.
Option #3 ($79): This option includes everything in Option #1, PLUS the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack. In addition to creating a photo album, you'll also make 10 Christmas cards.
Option #4 ($15): This option includes the tutorial only (for both the album and the cards).

You will not need any stamps or inks to complete the album or cards. You will need adhesives. I recommend Stampin' Seal or Stampin' Seal +, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots if you are making the cards.
The deadline to sign up for this class is December 10. I will ship your class kit to you no later than December 20. If you pay your invoice promptly, I will add your items to my next order and you will get your kit sooner.

I did a short video showing the album in more detail, and it will hopefully give you a better idea of what you'll get when you order this class. I don't have a dedicated spot to do my videos right now, and little time to film or edit them (thanks, 2020), so this video is not quite as polished as I'd like, but I think it will help explain this idea.

 

And finally, if you're looking for ideas of activities to do with your family this month, here is a great list to get you going! I'm pretty sure in our family, the activities will involve a lot of baking!

You can sign up for this class here. Let's make this a December to remember, in a good way!

Happy Stamping!

Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Class

I have a brand new class to offer to you today, featuring the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. These cards are quick and easy - in fact, you don't even have to do any stamping if you don't want to!

In this class through the mail, you'll make 7 different cards using the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. You'll get a full package of the Memories & More Cards in your kit, plus a roll of ribbon. You also have the option to add on the Beautiful Friendship stamp set, which I used on several of the cards. If you don't have that set and/or don't want to purchase it, you can use another sentiment stamp set OR use some of the word stickers included in the Memories & More Card Pack.

You will provide your own ink and adhesive. I recommend Just Jade and Misty Moonlight ink, and Stampin' Seal, Mini Glue Dots, and Stampin' Dimensionals. These can be added onto your kit at catalog cost (I'll cover the tax & shipping).

Option #1 ($52): This option includes the Beautiful Friendship stamp set, a package of the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack, a roll of ribbon, and the supplies cut and ready for you to make 7 cards, with envelopes.

I did a Facebook Live on Wednesday and made a few quick and easy cards using the card pack and a few additional products. All of these cards require absolutely no stamping!

All of our Memories & More card packs are great for making quick and easy cards. You can of course add stamping if you'd like, but you don't have to. The supplies I used are listed below. Comment and let me know which card is your favorite!


Supply List:

Love Today Planner: Daily Schedule Add-On

My oldest started Kindergarten yesterday. Let's just say day two is going much smoother for everyone! She loved it; the rest of us are having a hard time. Her little brothers kept asking when we could go get her, and I kind of agreed! We are all starting to settle into the routine today though, and it feels good.


Last week, I realized that it would probably help me to have a new routine written down for school days. Having it written down helps me to stay accountable and productive during the day. Anyone else have trouble figuring out what you're supposed to be doing during the day sometimes? No, just me? My mommy brain needs help! So I created this add-on page for my Love Today Planner.

This 6 x 8 plastic sleeve is from the Variety Pack of 6 x 8 photo pocket pages (this specific one is a retired Project Life sleeve, but the same ones are still available without the Project Life name). These sleeves fit perfectly into the planner binder. They are a slightly larger size than the pages of the planner, but still fit in when it is closed. You may just see a tiny bit of the edge.

I used stickers from the planner kit and Stampin' Write markers in coordinating colors to make my daily schedule. I also used the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP and Very Vanilla cardstock. You could use any style of paper and colors that you like.

I'd love to know what additions you've made to your planner! Comment below and tell me!

Happy Stamping!
