Remember the days when love was simple and innocent? Recall the moment you realized boys (or girls) did NOT have cooties? When all it took was passing a note with a ‘check yes or no’ question to secure everlasting love, well, at least for a week or two? BasicGrey is bringing back the days of awkwardly-thrilling first dances, butterflies in the stomach and secret crushes with the newHopscotchline.

Julie says about her layout: "I wanted to make non-holiday layouts with Bo Bunny's "Winter Joy" collection. I also wanted to make my doily stretch throughout the page, so I cut it into four pieces and used each piece in the corners of my paper! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) I also saw Tessa Buys make a banner on one her layouts wavy across one of her pages, and I LOVED that idea, and did it on mine here! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) Tessa did hand stitching, and I used my Black Sharpie instead to create my 'wavy' banner across the page! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)"
I also used some of the "period" dots from the Thickers from the Dear Lizzy Enchanted line on top of my Lily Bee chipboard buttons! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Hi! What??!! Whoa... 2 posts this week.. ta-hee.. can you tell I love the holidays!!??
Here's another fast & fun project/gift I made using some FABULOUS GORGEOUS Bo Bunny holiday papers! :) The mini album is a Maya Road Canvas binder mini... with the super cutes little canvas pockets! It's perfect for my gift that will include some fun gift cards. I used lots of fun holiday scrappy happiness from BlueMoon Scrapbooking.

Now for the picts! Here's a few photos (...ok, not a few.. but plenty) of a super fun beautiful holiday mini for someone very special!
Some beautiful Christmas cards by Julie Tucker-Wolek!
I used one sheet of Lily Bee paper to make all four cards! I made two with sides of the paper, and the other two with the other side! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
The green ornament is cut from Grunge Paper, distress inked and stamped. The joy is painted with Mica Gloss Ruby, black Maya Road Glitter, and Tinsel from Pink Paislee.
I was playing around with the Sizzix Vagabond (love it by the way) this weekend and I wanted to try the Tim Holtz Sizzix Ornament Die. This is the first time I've tried the movers and shapers. There is so much expermenting to do - the ideas are all bouncing around in my head.

Happy Holidays to all you beautiful talented scrappers~
Ok.. I have to say, during the holidays I go happy-crazy trying to fit in all the things I WANT to do along with things I HAVE to get done... AND I LOVE IT! Ta-hee. At the top of my wish list this year was to find time to make a couple of gifts for my family & friends... and yay.. with the help of a super cute Maya Road chipboard mini album and the amazing Gorgeous Jovial Holiday paper collection from Basic Grey... I was able to make 'Snappy-Gift-Making-Magic'! Visit BlueMoon Scrapbooking today and make YOUR magical gifts and treasures!!!
A Christmas Tree shaped album with bold prints, fun holiday scrappy embellies (BG chipboard, ribbons, flowers, oh my!) .. I'm thrilled how easy, fast and fun this little keepsake mini was to create! It will be filled with special handwritten notes on all the pages, a Ghiradelli chocolate on first page and a fun gift card will be waiting on the last page! Another super fun project that I'm thrilled to give as a holiday gift :)
