Cookies for Santa - Pixels and Paper December DT reveal (456/365)

Hello everyone and welcome to December!!! Is anyone else rushing to get Christmas presents ready?? I make every single gift so I usually start in September but this year I have been a little busier with work and lots of friends having babies (aka scrapbook albums) so I am rushing like mad to get everything done so it was nice to slow down and get some scrapping done for myself and work on this month's Pixels and Paper Design Team reveal, this month is a fun Christmasy themed:
 

Here is my take, I was inspired by the red/green/and white as well as the cookies with the Christmas theme:

I misted the background with Lindy's stamp gang rudolph's nose, and cut the title with my silhouette. The embellies are all buttons that I cut the back off of. I filled in the tree with liquid pearls.

Thank you for stopping by and for your wonderful comments, hope you can play along with us at Pixels and Paper this month for your chance at a great prize!!! http://pixelsandpaperchallengeblog.blogspot.ca/2015/12/and-finally-its-december.html

Tractor baby album (436-455/365)

Last to share with you tonight is a tractor baby album that I made as a surprise big brother present. As you may (or may not) remember, I made a zoo album for my dear friend Danielle a couple of weeks ago (but gave it to her at this morning's 4-way shower). I was debating what to make/get for her older son, Ben, and then she asked if she could hire me to make her a tractor-themed baby album for her son. I had a lightbulb moment and told I didn't have time to make it until after Christmas but that then we could sit down and go over papers/embellies/etc and she was excited about that. Well I was up until 230am friday and got up again at 630 saturday morning in order to get this album done (really hate thyroid problems and illnesses). I am so happy with how the album turned out and hopes she likes it as much as I do!!!

Batgirl Baby Album(416-435/365)

Good morning, how is everyone feeling?? Me, I've finally succumed to my cold and it has come on with a vengence (although probably doesn't help that I have gotten next to no sleep all weekend as I'm trying to get ready for a 4-way baby shower and I only had 1 of the presents made by friday (eek).

First up to share is a baby album for a dear friend who loves batman so I decided to do a little twist and do a bat girl album for them (this is the first time i'm excited to see the husband's reaction):

Zoo baby album (396-415/365)

Hello everyone, hope you had a wonderful weekend, I was busy making this baby album for my girlfriend who's baby shower is next weekend (it's actually a four-way baby shower so i still have two more albums to make). This is for a dear friend who had her baby a couple of weeks premature and she's known for months that she was having a boy but kept it a secret from everyone (but deep down I knew she was having a boy) and she told me a couple of months ago that she was going to do a zoo theme for this baby so I started compiling papers and embellies for months. I am so happy with how this album turned out and the animals (all 159 pieces cut with my silhouette) are so woth all the time they took to make. Thank you for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments :)
