12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 12

When you hear a bell ring an angel has received their wings! Didn't she hang that bell on the Christmas Tree?
My ornaments cannot ring, but they sure can brighten and sparkle any tree up! Of course, depending on how you want your tree to look. This tree, in my mind, will be silver and sparkly. This is why I used silver foiled paper and stamped, only on some, black damask images. The tutorial on how to make these ornaments can be found here: Christmas Ball Ornaments



This brings to an end our "12 Ideas of Christmas", I hope you enjoyed following us through the Christmas season and I hope we have inspired you to create merry and bright layouts, cards and projects to last a lifetime of memories!

12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 11

A Christmas Gift, or maybe what looks like one, but is really a pocket page.
Do you have, lists and pictures and miscellany that you do not want to scrapbook, but don't want to get rid of? The perfect example that always comes to mind, is when you take a trip and have plane tickets and brochures etc. Well this layout is the perfect match for those Christmas photos, those travel documents and whatever else you can think of to create ...
You will use:
12*4; 12*5; 12*6; 12*7 pieces of paper.
Adhere them all onto a 12*12 page. This one created was more intense, as there is a pattern trimmed to 11 3/4* 11 3/4 onto the 12*12. Once you have these pockets in place, adhere the transparency, cut to 12*6 1/2". Score a 1/2" and adhere this scored piece to the back of the layout.
Make sure to not adhere the pockets all the way around. You only want to adhere 3 sides, of course, so as to create the pockets themselves!
Add ribbon and stickers to complete!

Merry Christmas

12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 10

You better be good, for Goodness Sake!
Make your own Christmas wish list and preserve what you asked for on a layout. It may be funny to look at in a few years, or if the wish list is for your kids, imagine what they will laugh at in years to come. Hey, I still laugh at wanting a Barbie McDonalds Drive-in. Seriously, it was one of the most awesomest gifts from Santa I every received!

12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 9

Advent: Advent marks the beginning of the season of Christmas; a time for preparation, fasting, prayer and reflection.
At Scrap & Bean, we carry the dimensional boxes to create an advent calendar. Inside, you can place prayers, notes of gratitude, chocolate or whatever else you can think of, to prepare for Christmas.
However, you can also use this box for various other themes, consider, a jewelry box, a toy car garage, a knick knack drawer or whatever else your heart desires. I know we had some ladies from one of our classes use it for a chore reminder! What a good idea! I was not able to get an image of our creative box we made, however, I have used the image that you can find on the Karen Foster website: Calendar Boxes
