Polka Dot Plum CT

Cold!

| cristina

It’s been freezing the past few days, yesterday especially was really cold!

So it’s just fitting that I should use a kit by Polka Dot Plum called Brrrrrrrr! 😉
I did 3 coordinated pages.
Here’s page 1:
and here’s pages 2 and 3 (that form a 2-pager):
You can find this gorgeous kit at ScrapOrchard or Sunshine Studio Scraps!

Another 2-pager!

I find myself doing 2-pagers quite often lately! It’s because I have many pretty pictures to scrap and don’t want to let any out. 🙂
So here’s another one:

And here’s a closer look at the individual pages:



I think I’ll be doing quite a few more 2-pagers with Christmas pictures! 🙂

Christmas Whimsy LO

I used the fun kit Christmas Whimsy by Polka Dot Plum for this LO, and I loved all the cute gifts, in fact I couldn’t make myself take any of them out and had to use them all! 🙂

I really love the Holly Jolly Holiday kit by Polka Dot Plum. This is the 3rd LO I do using it (plus a hybrid ornament!) and I’m not tired of it in the least!! 🙂

Here’s the LO I did to match this one. I lifted a LO by Yzerbear91 (Melissa) for a challenge at SM.

We had lots of fun playing cards with my parents and grandmother this holiday, and I’m sad they’re leaving tomorrow. They’ve been here 12 days and time has flown by too fast.
The snow has melted completely, but I believe we will see lots more this winter. 🙂

Christmas Eve

| cristina

It’s Christmas Eve already!!! Time is just flying by so fast! I’ve been really busy the past week since my parents are visiting and we got ready for Christmas buying a gorgeous 7.5 feet (fake) Christmas tree – it’s gorgeous! I have yet to take some good pictures of it, though.

Our evenings are usually spent playing cards with my parents and grandmother, and we get some good laughs out of it! I did a LO with pictures of me and DH, and will eventually do a 2nd LO with pics of my parents+grandmother.

So now everything is ready for Christmas at our house: we have the most gorgeous tree with a few cute presents underneath it (the calendars I ordered from Artscow have arrived – very pretty indeed! – and are wrapped). I got highlights and a new haircut yesterday. We have plenty of snow outside so we will have the most perfect white Christmas. 🙂
We will have a nice fish dinner tonight, then Midnight Mass, and tomorrow morning, presents, and a lovely Christmas lunch!
Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Tree Ornaments

| cristina

Finally my super-busy schedule has relaxed a little and I was able to do a couple of ornaments this weekend.

For the first one I used Candied Christmas by Brianna Cox:


and I prepared 2 different sides for the tree ornament:

For the second one, I used Holly Jolly by Polka Dot Plum:
and I prepared these 2 sides:
I printed on photo paper, cut out the tree shapes with normal scissors and stuck them together with Mod Podge. If you use normal paper, you’ll need the ornament to be more sturdy, so you can cut out a tree shape from cardboard. Here are the ornaments:

I still need to punch a hole in them so I can hang them, but I don’t own a good puncher yet and I’m hoping to find one in my stocking this year! 🙂
-11 days to Christmas!!
