Paper Snowflakes

Are you on Pinterest??

I have developed a SERIOUS addiction to it.

There are just SO many wonderful ideas out there, especially if you are the DIY type of girl (or guy).

I found a link for snowflakes HERE and set to work (along with my Little Man).

It's safe to say that we were hopelessly addicted to making pretty flakes out of paper. So many, in fact, that I was running out of room to display them (I hung some from my dining room light, made a banner for the mantle and Hubby had to take some to work!)

I even used a few on my LO as well (I find that they are easier to cut if you use white printer paper or even loose leaf (with the holes cut off)). I tried using cardstock but it was incredibly difficult to cut-it's just too thick.

This LO highlights a few of my faves along with Little Man's banner that I put on the mantle.

Happy Friday!

I just wanted to pop on to share a few more projects from the November Hip 2-b Square kit.

The kit was chock full of lots of seasonal, Christmas-y goodies BUT I was able to squeeze in a non-holiday LO since the reds in this kit matched Little Man's shirt so well in the photo.

And I am SURE you can tell I am loving this red & white chevron paper (I think I was able to squeexe a bit in on every LO that I did this month!)

Kit supplies: November Hip 2-b Square kit + Add-on's

I was also able to make a 3x3" mini-matchbook album using 1 piece of cardstock and lots of the scraps & extra embellishments that I had left over. I am pretty sure this album is pretty easy to duplicate but if you have questions, feel free to drop me a line and I will post instructions.

As you can see, there is lots of rooom in this mini for journalling and it fits 2x3" pictures perfectly!

Dear Santa

MERRY (belated) CHRISTMAS!!

I really  had to pressure my Little Man to write his letter to Santa this year, as Santa likes to make sure to have time to check everything off his list ;) Not surprisingly, LM asked for all things Power Rangers (and Daddy even got in on the action and added a PS request :) )

Luckily, I remembered to snap a quick pic of the letter before we mailed it off to Ol' Saint Nick.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a joyous holiday season!

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!

Today I plan on hanging out with Little Man's class and decorating gingerbread houses with them.

I am loving all the fun little things that we have been doing this season and am really looking forward to this.

But first, I wanted to share a little something that I worked on this weekend with my November Hip kit.

I always have so much extra left over every month with these kits because they are SO JAM PACKED(especially since I cut most of my pages down to 8.5 x 11" now-it makes ALOT of paper scraps) but this month I found a happy little remedy for all of that.

I decorated my 2' C-mas tree with them!

I started with a mini paper garland (by cutting strips of paper about 1/2" x3"). I then set to work by cutting out alot of the designs on the pattern paper and matting them with these:

and attaching them with this:

I then jazzed my ornaments up with a bit of bling & glitter for holiday sparkle.

Thanks for popping in!

I could seriously go on and on about the November Hip 2-b Square kit.

(see entire kit HERE)

I have not been able to stop working with it!

So far, I have done 3 LOs, 5 cards, a mini matchbook album, an altered bag AND a special little project that I plan on sharing tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh BTW...

EEEK!!

Holiday Joy

Have you seen the November kit from Hip 2-b Square?

It is chock-full of some FABULOUS products and I have been having SO much fun playing with it!

Kimberly has been diligantly posting 29 days of Cards on the Hip blog which includes cards designed by her and the rest of the team using this month's kit. If you are needing some Christmas card inspiration, I highly reccomend ypo pop in and  take a peek at what she has been sharing :)

Below are three of my contributions using the November kit.

I really struggle with cards and procrastinated a bit on this (I couldn't inspire myself to get on with the task) but ended up having so much fun with it that I did an extra card at the end.

I will be sharing them in the coming days.

Thanks for popping in, Happy Thursday!

HUGS & Happy Surfing :)
