Monday’s @ Mere’s : Holiday Happenings

Well it is that time of year when we need to come up with some quick and inexpensive gifts. Here’s a hybrid scrapbook project idea for you!

One of my favorite things is to find something already in a fun package and make it cuter with a little personalization.  I found these yummy rolled cookies that I love so much that are in a fun tin container.

I used Meredith’s cute Christmas kit “Christmas Wishes” to make a template of sorts to cover it. I used papers and elements to make a fun design. I printed it on regular copy paper because I knew it would be discarded and I didn’t want to waste my photo paper(it would have looked a lot brighter and crisper with photo paper- so if you make something they would keep I would go that route.)

Because the paper was a little shorter than the tin I printed out an extra blank page to fill in the extra inch or so and to use for the top of the tin. I cut the circle for the top with my Cricut but you could just use a pencil and draw around the lid on the back of the paper and then cut it out by hand. You could also ink or chalk around the edges to add a little pop.

I used clear tape to wrap the tin and a glue runner to adhere the top piece. I then found some cute red/white ribbon to tie around the top and finished it off with a cute glittery mini ornament.

Now I just have about 8 more to make so I will have gifts ready in a moment’s notice.

Happy Hybrid Day!

Fantabulous Friday: Dec. 2nd Edition

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays!  What type of digital scrapbook projects are you implementing into your holiday season this year?  Are you making scrapbooks for family members, making your own Christmas Greeting cards or maybe you’re implementing this awesome Advent Calendar for the little ones.  Well, whatever you decide to do I know it’ll be fantabulous because it was made by you, with lots of love and thought put into it!

Anyway, Meredith has TWO guest spots this month!  Yes, you read that right… TWO!  I know, crazy right?  But you know Meredith, always aiming to please!  I think you’ll be happy to know that you’ll be able to buy her goodies at Digiridoo Scraps and Plain Digital Wrapper.  She’ll be at both stores thru this month so make sure you check both stores out because they have exclusive products in each store!

Have you seen this Christmas kit that Meredith made last week?  I think it’s perfect for all the holiday greeting cards and scrapping those fantabulous holiday photos.  If you haven’t gotten it yet I’d encourage you to go get it right now!  It’s awesome!  Personally, I love all the glitter but I love anything that is bling!  :D

Have a fantabulous weekend and if you finish up a project comment below and share a link with us so we can admire your great work!  Until next time…

Advent Calendar – Hybrid Project!

Hey everyone!! Helen here bringing you a hybrid project (with links) so you can create your very own if you wish!! I decided that I wanted to make my own advent calendars this year and when I seen Christmas Wishes by Meredith I knew straight away that I needed to use this kit!

And here is my finished product!

My ink unfortunately ran out just as I was printing the last page (the Merry Christmas Lily one) so as you can see the colour isn’t great :(

If you want to create this advent calendar for you (or someone you love) it is really easy to do!

DOWNLOAD HERE

You can create your very own Advent Calendar by downloading the file above and following the steps below!

1) Firstly I created what I wanted my calendar boxes to look like. I then printed them on card and scored and cut where needed!

2) Glue the boxes together leaving the tops open!

3) Start glueing the boxes to the main page of your Advent Calendar

4) Once completed attach the two pieces together using string/wool and a little blue tack or sticky tape to help it stick to the wall!

5) Enjoy everyday until Christmas day with special treats for your loved ones!!

Remember to link us up if you decide to create one! Would love to see your creations!

Monday’s @ Mere’s Many Thanks

Susan here with another hybrid scrapbook project for your Thanksgiving table.

I began with the new kit by Meredith Cardall called “Attitude of Gratitude.” I loved the look of the big yellow flower element so I chose that as my centerpiece for my name place cards. I then added a name plate with each of my family members name, a leaf and the word “Thankful” to each one. I also created a little family frame picture with more of the flower/leaf elements to spice it up. I printed it on photo paper with a background paper of brown with blue polka dots from my Memory Mixer file.

I printed X2 on photo paper so the backs will be as festive as the fronts. Then I trimmed it all out.

I then cut out some 5 inch brown circles with my Cricut and adhered them all together. Then I used some black wire that I bought at Lowes or Home Depot and with my handy dandy needle nose wire cutters I twisted and twirled the wire to make some holders for the place cards.

You just make a little vertical swirl at the top and a bigger horizontal swirl at the bottom. Easy way to make pictures holders too (use any color wire)

So now I’m ready to set the table for a Thanksgiving feast with the ones I love.

Happy Hybrid Day

Susan C.
