Day 25 of 25 My Paper Crafting-Jesus

Wow we made it through the 25 days of Christmas and Year 'Round Crafting Showcase at My Paper Crafting.    There have been so many wonderful projects by all the creative ladies. I feel blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group of talented women.   I also want to say a big thank you to Melin for all her wonderful creations that she has given away these 25 days.  

For my project today I used A quilted Christmas, Kate's ABC and New Testament.  I used burlap on the easel card to give it texture and embossed the straw.  

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends celebrating the true reason for 

Christmas.  Don't forget to leave "Christ" in Christmas.  

Day 24 of 25 My Paper Crafting Three Wisemen

My post will be short and sweet today as I am not feeling well.  

Today the focus is the three wiseman here at My Paper Crafting.  For my card I used my new Quilted Christmas.  I love the intricate cuts.   I cut, added some ribbon and a gold star.  

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas day with your families and friends.  

Don't forget to share the true reason for the season.  

Day 21 of 25 My Paper Crafting Sounds of the Season

Christmas is definitely full of sights, smells and sounds.  Today we are showcasing the sounds of the season at My Paper Crafting.   My project showcases an old familiar Christmas song "The Twelve days of Christmas".  This is actually a present I made for someone.  (They already got it so I can post it and not worry.)  I used a shadowbox and the Cricut cartridge Joys of the Season for the cuts.  The small numbers were left from my Advent Tree projects I taught last month.  I added Stickles and used glitter paper to add some bling.  

Here is the entire box.

Day 20 of 25-My Paper Craftin Stockings, Stuffers and Silliness

Today at My Paper Crafting  its another Christmas showcase for Stockings, Stuffers, and Silliness.  

For my project today I made Melin's Vintage file.  I decorated a tag with the file and some holly paper I had in my stash.  The tag was actually cut from Mickey and Friends.  I added  holly to the edges of the pictures with a MS holly punch and then made berries with red Stickles.  A quick and fun tag.

Day 19 of 25- My Paper Crafting Presents

It's less than one week to Christmas so hopefully by now there are presents under your tree for your loved ones. ( Or at least you are ready to wrap all the goodies.)  I am really excited about  Christmas with my grand children this year as at least two of them are old enough now to understand opening their packages.  I will be the first to admit that every time I go out to shop for the adults I seem to come back with more goodies for the grand kids.  Having my grand children is the best present ever.  

For my project today I used the vintage file from Melin at My Paper Crafting.  It is so gorgeous and perfect to fit in the embossed window.  This Cuttlebug folder is called Kasie's Brocade Window.  I did everything in cream to go with the Sepia tones.  Then decided to add two pops of color- a pointsettia and an ornament with twine.  

Here is the free vintage file done in color.

Day 18 of 25- My Paper Crafting November Give Thanks

Hard to believe that we are already to Day 18 of the 25 Days of Christmas and Year 'Round Crafting Showcase here at My Paper Crafting.com.   Even harder to believe that Christmas is only one week away.  

I love the Vintage files that Melin has been sharing with  us during the showcase.  

This one today is oh so cute.  

I used Kraft paper for the base and Bo Bunny Cider paper for the pumpkin and design paper.  I added some stickers I had in my stash and some leaves.  It is hard to tell but to the left of the lower pumpkin in the pictures there is some corn and I had these cute corn embellies  I have never know what do do with.  So I added the corn above the leaf and a sunflower.  

Here is the free vintage file I used.

BBTB2 Santa Challenge

Wow this is our last post for 2012 here at BBTB2.  I just want to say how blessed I feel to be on the team this year and to continue on in 2013.  I love the Design Team members and all of you who participate in the challenges.  You the followers are the ones that keep us all going and designing.  

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I hope you and your families have many cherished moments together and don't forget to take lots of pictures for your scrapping.  

So on with the challenge 

Today at BBTB2 my lovely friend and talented Design Team Member has challenged us to create with Santa.  I knew right away I wanted to make a layout with this adorable little teddy bear Santa from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  The bear was cut at 5 inches and I added Pearl pen accents to his fur and Glossy Accents to his boots, belt, eyes and nose.  

I love these bears so much that I decided to cut out about 10 of the bear body and placed them in a baggie.  Then whenever I want to make a bear I am already 1/2 way there.  

I hope you can join us this week for the challenge.  As we are in the last week before Christmas I know everything is a hustle and a bustle.   Maybe you can find a few minutes to sit down and distress and scrap a little.  Remember you have until the 23rd to post your project up at BBTB2.
