Ryan's First Christmas Album

Merry Christmas,

I hope you are spending your morning with family and eating Christmas cookies.   We are visiting with my Grandma (Ryan's Great Grandma).   It is nice to have all four generations together.    I know she wishes she could spend more time with Ryan.   As Christmas presents this year, I thought I'd make her and my mom a small brag book of Ryan's First Christmas.    It is amazing how much he has changed.   It was fun to remember how tiny he was just a year ago.

I waited to post the project until I we opened presents.  Now that they are enjoying their books.  I can share photos with you!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!

Magnolia Christmas Nativity Shadow Box

Hello All!

I'm really excited to share this project.  I have been working on this for about two weeks.  At last, it is ready to share. 

Magnolia released a Nativity Collection of Stamps in early December.  I was in love with all the little characters.  They were so sweet.   

Magnolia Nativity Collection

I used the images to create this 3D Nativity Scene.  There are close ups of the characters below.

Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus

 

Wise Man and Shepard

I love how it turned out.  I have turned this into a class and kit.   If you are interested send me a note.  I would be glad to help you create your own Nativity Project.

Lesson's I learned the from the Easter Bunny Scrapbook

I created this album a few years ago. I made three of them as gifts for Connor's parents.  We spend the holiday with his grandma in Florida.   The template is something I figured out on my own.  I'm offering it as a class on April 26th at Hobby Lobby.   Send me a note if you plan on joining us!
