Shadow Boxes

I haven't been a slug. (completely, anyway) I made some things. Before Christmas I made some really cool shadow boxes for my mom and sister. I couldn't show them then, but here they are. I really like the way they turned out. I let them "fight" over who got which one. I couldn't decide if one was better suited for my sister than the other one.

They are simply shadow boxes that I disassembled. I covered the back with UHU glue and Making Memories papers. Then added a piece of ribbon to split the backgroud. Added some dimensional stickers to create a bit of a scene. The words JOY and PEACE are Autumn Leaf rub-ons applied to the outside of the glass. To finish them off, I put some little ornaments as shakers inside the frame.

Christmas Daily Album

I have seen numerous Albums created/being created for December. With a page for each days activities/events. I really LOVE Christmas and initially thought I would make one of these little albums. But I am having a hard time with making a page for everyday. My life, like most of yours, is pretty routine Monday thru Friday. But what is a girl to do. I have already made the album. What will I do with an album that has christmas pages numbered 1 - 25????

I decided (mere minutes ago) that my album will be a listing of 25 Christmas Essentials. I can't see having one of the daily albums every year. I'll post pics when I get some of the pages done.
I hope to start tonight.

December Album ready

The gauntlet was thrown at me. Okay, okay, it was thrown down. Rosemary threw down the scrap gauntlet Saturday morning. Here are the results of my weekend. I won't add any embellishments or stamp anything until I start putting the pages together. I think the album looks a bit awkward with the bigger rings, but I anticipate needing them bigger.

Okay now Rosemary, show me yours...
