Papercrafting Day and tree down

Yesterday was one of my weekly papercrafting days.  If I am home with no major tasks on a Friday, I schedule a papercrafting day for myself and anyone who wants to come and play.  I have a list of projects to catch up on which includes, but is not limited to Paper Pumpkin kits, other Stampin' Up! kits, Scrapbooks (remember my resolution to complete one a month in 2015), swaps, other kits and projects that I have stockpiled for years. 
This week, my goal was to make the December Paper Pumpkin kit that looked like it was so fun.  It turned out to be nine shaker cards and envelopes with all the cardstock and accessories to complete.  My friend, Connie Gray who subscribes to Paper Pumpkin came and completed hers too.  Here are pics of the two of us with our completed cards and a close up of the cards.

 

Since one of my resolutions is to complete a scrapbook each month, I worked on my daughter's Lisa's wedding album.  I originally had all of the stuff in a magnetic album before we realized how bad that was.  So I pulled all of the pics and mementos out and have had them in a box.  This is my scrapbook this month.  She has been married for 29 years on our 51st anniversary this past week so I decided it was time.  Here are the five pages that I was able to get done.

My good friend and fellow demonstrator, Darlene Almer also came to play.  She is a para-educator so it is a treat to have her available on a weekday as she works fulltime in one of our local schools.  She chose to make one of our fun new kits, the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Project Kit which turned out so cute.  I am doing that one for a class in February so I will be making mine in the next couple of weeks.  After she completed her kit, she still had some time on her hands so she decided to make some Snowmen with a tutorial that she had cased.  Do you recognize the snowmen?  Do you want to build a snowman?

Aren't they absolutely adorable.  She did such an awesome job with the Olafs.  So today was a day to catch up, take down our Christmas tree and a lot more decorations.  We are almost done and ready to think about spring.  I know, it is still 2 1/2 months until spring, but I am ready and a new spring catalog helps to get me in the mood for sunshine and flowers even if they are only on paper.  So stay tuned for more sneak peek projects and the new catalogs that go live on Tuesday.  Hugs, Sherron

P.S.  Tomorrow is Stampaholics Anonymous so come and play with me.  We will be making thank yous for the Home and Family unit at DSHS plus sharing more sneak peeks.
