From the scrapbook to the wall. Here’s a great way to show off your scrapbooking talent. This attractive series of 3 family photos were mounted on mattboard so I could share family memories in my mom’s apartment. To the right is a partial shot of a frame with some scrapbook stickers that my Dad helped me craft.

This is a great project if you have some leftover white scrapbook paper. And if you have a small space, this little Christmas tree will make a festive statement!
Supply List:
Step 1:
For this Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Mix & Match design team project, I gathered several Pitt Artist pens and randomly drew multi-color lines to create the tree fringe. Then to add a bit more dimension to the tree, I stamped the lines using a contrasting color (black).
, 
Step 2:
This little tree used about 1 and a half pieces of 12×12 scrap paper. When you have all your lines colored in, simply gauge the size of the strip to the size of the Styrofoam cone piece. Once you have your strips cut to size, snip the edges almost to the top of strip using your scissors. Glue each strip to each cone and secure with stick pins if necessary. Allow to dry then assemble the cones to create the tree. If any bare space show, simply fill in with some more fringed paper strips and gems.

This week I created a fast and fun paper flower to set the perfect table as part of the the Faber-Castel Design Memory Craft Mix & Match design team. Now if you’ve ever been intimidated by paint or combining colors, Faber-Castel makes it really simple for any level of crafting!
Supply List:
Step 1: Randomly cover most of the paper with the red Gellato TM ( however leave some white space unpainted). Next sprits with water then blend the paint with a paint brush. Allow to dry.
Step 2: Cut out 9 large poinsettia petals and 2 or 3 smaller petals to desired size. Using the Stampers Pen, randomly color the edges and surface of the leaf cut-outs. Using the fine pen, draw the leaf veins. If necessary, apply some white Gelato onto areas of the leaf and blend with your finger tip.
Step 3: Cut a small hole at the base of the each leaf. Using a chenille stem, bend the stem in half and insert both ends of the stem into the leaf. Bend the stem to the shape of the leaf . Assemble all the leafs with stems in a bunch and adjust to shape of a poinsettia flower. Secure stems by twisting the stems together. Add a dab of thick glue to the stick pins and insert into the middle of the flower. Use as a table or gift ornament.

Get the scrapbook papers out and crafts some cones! And that’s just what I did for our family Christmas gathering.
I like fast and easy projects when I’m getting ready for the holidays. All you need is:
Shape the paper into a cone and glue to secure. Print out you labels then cut them out using the Sizzix die cut. Adhere some greenery to the label then adhere the label to the cone! Tah-Dah! You’re done!
Happy holidays everyone and stay inspired!

This is a mini scrapbook made from Kaiser Craft paper, embellishments and pressed board using Duetica “Floot” font. My inspiration for this little book was to use it as family photo display that could be placed on a tabletop either layng down or propped up. Sort of like a photo frame.
No special techniques were needed here (although I did create the custom polka dot circle cut out in photoshop) –just mixed media embellishments, and strips of paper glued together to create a festive and fun photo display.
Supply List Duetica font —Floot and Kaiser Craft papers, embellishments and pressed board.
