December Daily® Memories Album | Days 16-17

It's Froggy Friday at The Lilypad and it's also the third Friday of the month which means it's Mixed Media Monthly (M3) release day too. I had fun playing with the M3 releases to try to incorporate them into my December album. It's soooo gorgeous and I can't wait to show you a couple more days in my album!

DAY SIXTEEN: I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine and a paint brush to color the Color Magic paper behind the cut file I had previously made. I love the contrast. I'm still using the Paislee Press templates, but decided to add some fun papers and doodles from the M3 add-ons. I totally love how it turned out. It matches perfectly with the wrapping paper from my photo.

December Daily® Memories Album | Days 9-15

Confession time: I created most of these scrapbook pages yesterday, and took the photos at last night. I didn't have my lighting set up quite right so you can totally tell. I'm in robot mode, trying to finish up Christmas presents and still try to spend quality time with the kids while we're taking some time off from homeschooling to focus on Advent.

That means, this is going to be a fly-by post just sharing the photos and the perfectionist in me is totally going to "let it go" with the photos. I do however plan to have a video walk through of my album once it's totally finished.

DAY NINE: I totally missed taking photos, so I grabbed a tag from a coat I bought for one of the kids that day. It was a busy evening of shopping with the family. We had to buy a holiday dress for Moriah and Isaac's winter coat was too small. We also did our normal Tuesday night Costco and Trader Joe's trip.

December Daily® Memories Album | Days 4 - 8

I'm still keeping up to date in my December Daily® Memories Album, even with all the crazy busy schedules and parties. I am determined to stay on track and honestly the blog is keeping me accountable too. I actually whipped up all four days yesterday during the kids' quiet time. *fist pump*

I really think the key is to just pick a template or two and one photo that represents the day and go with it. I don't need to fill the day with several photos, I just need to tell the story of the day and make it quick and easy so that I can have fun with the kiddos.

DAY FOUR: We put together the kids' tree in the family room. I just resized the image to 6"x8" and added an element and font (number) and clipped a paper to them. Then I adhered it to the back of the previous page and punched out my holes. The "Deck The Halls" page was previously created.

Mixed Media Tutorial: Frozen® Inspired Christmas Trees

I had so much fun decorating for my daughter's Frozen inspired birthday party. I wanted to make her party unique and I also wanted to only create decorations that I could use again in my regular home decorating. This is when I came up with these "frosted" Christmas trees.

This was a total experiment for me to see if it would work and it worked perfectly so I wanted to share it with you because it's super easy!

December Memories Album Days Two and Three and more Frozen themed party decorations

I stayed up late last night and watched Peter Pan Live with the kids. I also spent all day decorating for the Frozen themed birthday party. That means, this post is going to be super fast.

I'm totally in LOVE with the colors of the new BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) at The Lilypad. I didn't have much time to create with all the yummy goodies I wanted to, but did get to play with a little bit and I'm proud of myself for keeping up with my December album, and my Advent album. Though, I suppose 4 days isn't a huge feat, but it is for me.

Here's Day Two completed. I seem to be doing a two page spread for every day. This might be a pretty full album by the end.

Frozen® Inspired Birthday Party Preparations

I admit it, I'm spoiling my child this year for her birthday. I'm not a huge birthday celebration kind of person and we usually make it a family event. I decided to step out of my comfort zone this year and throw her a girly birthday party.

First, I couldn't decide between throwing a manicure party, or a Frozen® themed party. I then put the ball in her court and made her decide.

You have no idea how excited I am to be moving forward and planning another year here on the blog. I've got big plans coming up and I need to get myself organized.

More December Memories Album Preparation - The Lilypad Document Your December Releases

It's my favorite time of year at The Lilypad! There are so many great releases throughout the year, but my fave is definitely the Document Your December releases. The best part is that it's the same week as Mixed Media Monthly so there's all sorts of great mixed media releases mixed in. I'm really loving the color palette this year too.

Here are my pages using some of the goodies. I grabbed all of Paislee Press' releases, they're just so YUMMY and had a ton of fun using the cut files. I can't wait to cut out some more with the Silhouette this weekend.

Workflow Wednesday: December Album Prepartions

This will be my fifth year doing a December memories album (based of Ali Edwards' December Daily and Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas) and I can't tell you how much I love these albums. My kids look at them almost on a weekly basis. It's so fun to look back and see how we've changed not just in years but in our traditions and how we celebrate and prepare for Christmas.

Today, I wanted to share with you how I'm putting together the album. I like the 6"x8" album size but this year I decided to go back to a traditional mini album format and stick just a few pocket pages in the mix.

October/November 2014: Week 44 in our weekly pocket scrapbook album

This was the week of Ali Edwards' Week In The Life, so I had a million photos. I still do both the Week In The Life album seperately and one page in my scrapbook album. The scrapbook album is just a summary of the week. The Week In The Life album is much more detailed.

I've actually been working on my Week In The Life album and hope to have it done this weekend. I've got all the photos sorted and inserted in the album. I've also filled it with journal cards and papers already. Next will be the fun part of documenting and embellishing. I like getting it done as soon as possible so everything is fresh in my mind.

Anyways, it's BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) weekend at The Lilypad and I had so much fun putting this together. It's been a busy week here so I went with simple and done, but still "me".

Home Decorating Heather Greenwood Style: Wall Art

The last three weekends have been all about exploring my artistic gifts. I think I've finally figuring out my "style" and feeling really refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to explore this mixed media art more.

I don't know exactly where it's going to lead me, but I will say that I'm having a blast. This weekend my parents were here for my birthday and now that the kitchen remodel is basically done, I'm creating some art for the walls.

Several of these pieces started out as pieces I painted and stenciled and created while in Kansas two weekends ago. I really LOVE how they turned out! I love just staring at my reading nook/homeschool room/library/living room. It's become my favorite wall in the house. I can't wait to work on more wall art!!!

What do you think? Do you want to see some tutorials and process photos on how I put them together? Which one is your favorite?

Art Journaling Bible Tutorial: Using Fabric Interfacing Without the Fabric

I know, the title doesn't make sense, but I can tell you, you're going to love this tutorial because you can use interfacing for so much more than just to adhere to fabric. I had a blast with this and I'm so excited to do this more often.
