Christmas Scrapbook in a Box

Please don't think I'm ahead of the game and scrapbooking my Christmas pictures from this year - 2009.  Nope, the pictures I put into this Scrapbook in a Box are from 2007!  It's a start, right?  It was actually a special Christmas because it's the last one we spent in the UK and it was my niece's first Christmas - she was only a couple of months old.  I plan to put a little journaling in the empty squares.

The project is one we made in Stamp Club this month and we used the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' kit.  These kits are perfect for this project - you can get 3 boxes from one kit if you use the patterned paper as the box lids.  

I've made several of these boxes before.  A summer box:

A July 4 box:

Hope you all had a great Christmas - thanks for stopping by!

Well Scripted

This is a very quick share before I fall asleep at my computer!  I got a chance to play with some new Occasions Mini Catalog goodies today and I'm in love with the new set Well Scripted!  I bought the clear mount version and it was really easy to use - no Stamp-a-ma-jig required to get it straight!

Both projects were made for today's CAS challenge on Splitcoast, which was to use curves in your project.  The first card uses the new Two-Step Bird punch - how fun is this punch?

The second is a tag for a wedding gift - it uses the new Vintage Vogue set as well as Well Scripted.  Both are simply gorgeous sets - I'll be using them a lot!

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you're not suffering from too much Holiday craziness!
