Paper Issues: December Off the Page Challenge

Hi Everyone!  I'm up on the Paper Issues Blog today with the December Off the Page Challenge!  This month, as you can probably guess, is all about the holidays!  We're looking for Christmas/Hanukkah decorations, Ornaments, centerpieces, home décor, fun gift packaging.  Are you doing a December Daily?  That counts too! Basically anything you've created with paper, for the holidays that isn't a traditional scrapbook page counts!  Post pictures of your Off the Page projects in the December Challenges Album in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook Group to be eligible for our monthly prize, one of 2 $10 Gift Cards to the Paper Issues Store!

I always say I'm going to do a December Daily, and then it becomes overwhelming and I don't do it.  This year, I thought why commit to something daily, I'm going to #RememberDecember and do a December Memories album.  Basically it's what pictures I took, that I want to remember.  No need to post something daily, just a nice place to keep my favorite memories!  I also thought it would be fun to incorporate the latest #ISpywithPI prompts!

 



I used Pink Paislee's Yuletide Collection which is available in the Paper Issues Store.  The colors are great and I LOVE the Ephemera!!  I just added some gold stitching to make it sparkle a little! 

 

 

 

I plan on doing one or two pages every day or so.  I just want to keep things simple with a few papers and embellishments per page.  That way it won't become overwhelming and it's something I can work on in a short period of time.  Did you notice the fun hashtags?? I created a Silhouette cut file with all of the #ISpyWithPI #RememberDecember prompts.  It is available to download here in the Free Files section of the Paper Issues Store!

 

I also created a cut file for my album.  This is also be available in the Free Files Section here!

 

 

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

 



Paper Issues: Off the Page

Hi everyone!  Today I'm excited to introduce a new feature that I'm hosting over at Paper Issues... Off the Page.  Basically I get to play with paper and create all sorts of goodies that are NOT traditional scrapbook pages.  Mini albums, Home Décor, Gift bags... all sorts of fun projects!  Each month I'll post a project and ask folks to create something along the same theme and post them in our challenges album in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans group.  Best part, by participating, you're entered to win a Paper Issues Gift Card!

This month I put together a fun mini album "sort" of project featuring my favorite summer pictures.  I started with Lori Whitlock's Recipe Box cut file.  Instead of recipes on the insert cards, I chose to add my favorite pictures from this summer.  It's almost a PL type of project, and the best part is it's a work in progress, I plan on adding more until the end of the summer.  Take a peek...

 

 

To simplify the whole process, I chose to stick to one collection... Making waves from Fancy Pants.  It's perfect for summer photos and it makes my life easier to stick to one collection... here are some of the inside pages...

 

 

 Here's a peek at the pages I've completed so far!

 I love that I'm capturing all of the best of this summer! Head on over to my post on the Paper Issues Blog to see how you can enter to win a $20 gift card to the Paper Issues store!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
