Let’s Celebrate – Christmas!

CHRISTMAS!! It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!! For those of us who celebrate, we are in the full swing of the holiday! Is your tree up? As in Christmas is in two days!! Are your stocking hung with care? How about that shopping? Is it done; and what about…scrapping those memories?!  For me…yes, yes, done, and working on it. 🙂 Please tell me that I am not the only ones still scrapping Christmas photos from years past. I am talking like 2012 here. So with that in mind, I am also stopping by to absolutely overwhelm your senses with all things Christmas and digital scrapbooking.

Since this will be a image heavy post, I am going to make the chatter short and sweet. All images are linked; and don’t forget we have a section just for Christmas in the store. You know…in case one of these many many many items I am going to show you don’t strike your fancy. Our designers it seems love to design Christmas goodies. I know I told you in just about every Let’s Celebrate post to expect a lot…I mean it this time. Hold on to your elf hat….here they are!

Comfort and Joy – Digital scrapbooking supplies by Ponytails Designs
Christmas is a time of year when tradition reigns… the sounds, smells, and sights that accompany this time of year are what we remember and look forward to each year. Comfort and Joy draws on that traditional feel while giving it a slight twist. The soft colours and faded elegance will evoke a feeling of Christmas past, while at the same time bringing a refreshing new look to your pages.

Tutorial Tuesday (Digital Scrapbooking)

Christmas FONTography

Wow… less than a week until Christmas and Kwanzaa! And only 1 more day of Chanukah. I know there are lots of you who find yourselves right where I am… too much to do and not enough time to do it. So I know you’ll forgive me for scrimping a bit on this week’s tutorial, and I know you’ll understand when I tell you that I’m taking next Tuesday off. Sort of. It’s my turn to work Christmas in the pediatric ICU and on the 25th and 26th, that’s where I’ll be.

Okay, now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about those holiday layouts we’re all going to be creating over the next couple of weeks. I’d like to share some amazing Christmas/winter/elegant fonts that would be fabulous for titles or journaling. I checked out a few online earlier today and found some real gems!

The next few images are all from 1001fonts.com. There are some dingbats in there too – that could come in handy someday… you never know! They are all free, but please consider making a donation to the fontographer if you like their work.

As you can see, there are a variety of styles and moods here.

I just love the titles some of them have, don’t you? Very descriptive.

I don’t know about you but I may never have enough fonts.

Some of these are already in my collection but I need more!!

The images and fonts below are from another of my favourite font sources, dafont.com. You might notice there are some duplicates, but each site has a nice selection of unique fonts.

Santa’s Sleigh has been one of my collected fonts for years. Do you have a favourite?

Some of these make me think of Christmases when I was a kid.

And of course, there’s gotta be some snow in there. And tinsel! City of Light would be awesome for Chanukah layouts, wouldn’t it?

There are some here I’d be hard pressed to find a use for, but there are so many more that I could definitely make work for me.

I’ve barely scratched the surface here. There are hundreds of free and low-cost festive fonts out there if you have a minute to look for them. I’m going back right now to download some more… instead of wrapping gifts or cleaning my house.

Below are some of the fonts I’ve hoarded over the years, both free and paid-for. They’re not all typical Christmas-y fonts, but would absolutely work. I think Peanut Butter Smoothies would be terrific for story-telling.

 

If you need a refresher on combining fonts, you can find that tutorial here.

I can’t wait to see all the special layouts you’re going to create with your family photos. You can be sure I’m going to be looking for some of these fonts. Guaranteed! Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa… Festivus, Alban Arthan, whatever winter festival you’re celebrating… and a Happy New Year!

GingerBread Girls Inspiration – alannabanana

GS_blog_GingerBreadGirlsInspiration_Header

Good Monday morning scrappers!! Can you believe that the end of the year is just a few short weeks away? That (if you celebrate) Christmas is just around the corner?! What happened to 2017?! It has flown by!! In thinking of how fast 2017 skipped on by, I got to thinking. We have not had a GingeerBread Girl highlight here on the blog in a while. So we are going to do just that.

For those who are not familiar with the titles around GingerScraps, a GingerBread Girl is a creative team member. Those ladies who work hard to bring all those kits you love to action. Today, we are going to pull a bit of inspiration from:

Alanna aka: alannabanana

Check out her full gallery HERE.

I was stalking the galleries and Alanna’s jumped out to me. She scraps with beautiful composition on everyone I saw. Her cluster work is amazing. I love clustering on layouts. I have to say a number of her layouts have made it to my inspiration board! She also has perfect shadow work; and she really knows how to use her scrap space. Be it a whitespace layout or a page full of digi-scrap goodies. Here are a few of my favorite from her gallery:

 


I told you that her gallery has some amazing inspiration! These are just a drop in the water. Go check out her GALLERY and look around. If you find yourself scraplifting and finding something that speaks to you in inspiration, let us know! Come back and link up your layout. We would love to see it. Happy Scrapping!

Hanukkah – Kit by Connie Prince

December is one of the best months of the year. Holidays and traditions abound, snow falls gently, and the kids get a break from school. Day 2 Day: December highlights the best parts of this amazing time of year. This fun and playful kit draws on the colors of the holidays – red, green, blue, and white – to bring holiday cheer to your scrapbook pages. Thematic elements abound for Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s, with a few everyday elements thrown in for fun. (After all, aren’t most of our stories holiday-related right now?) Celebrate the season with those you love and scrap your stories with Day 2 Day: December.


We would love to see any of your layouts with these products (and more!) make sure you upload your layouts to our gallery; and then come back here and link us up in the comments. We would love not only to see them, but leave you some love. I know the designers enjoy seeing their designs as finished layouts as well.

If these are not what you were looking for, make sure you check out the store. There are more where those came from!

Fresh Baked: December 08, 2017

What do you call a kid who doesn’t believe in Santa?
A rebel without a Claus.

Starting off with a little humor. Something to get you in the mood to check out the new goodies. There are some great new goodies, too. Some gorgeous templates, where you can spell out a loved one’s name. A great chance to catch up on your P52 series with a great bundle set.

Remember when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great new collab!
