My first project is a pair of scrapbook layouts. My sisters came to visit for Thanksgiving and they went through my mom's treasure trove of old pictures. This picture was one of our many Sears or J C Penney holiday photos. They are notorious for turning pink and yellow, so I solved that by converting the photo to black and white! Weren't we cute?! 

We became a trio in 1980 when my baby sister was born. Fast forward 38 years and we became the "sassy" sisters! 

I used elements from Club Scrap's Gnome for the Holidays digital kit and I liked it so much I thought I'd share a kit as one of the prizes. I used Photoshop Elements to create my digital layouts, but you can use any software that works in layers. You can also just print the tags and panel images from the paper collection on 8.5 x 11 inch card stock to use for hybrid cards and scrapbook layouts. Club Scrap's page and card formulas are handy with digital layouts too. Click here to see a Club Scrap digital layout tutorial on my Youtube channel. 

Project number 2: I'm always looking for something to keep me organized during the holidays and this little file folder folio was just the thing I needed! Click here for the tutorial on Club Scrap's blog. 

I decorated my gift organizer with papers and stamp images from the Gnome for the Holidays paper collection. The paper kit is no longer available (Club Scrap kits are limited edition), but the digital kit offers some of the same backgrounds and images. 

Versamark ink and gold embossing powder for a quick frame on the card stock panels and tag. 

I found some white velcro dots at Office Depot for the closure.

I got messy with Distress Oxide inks and they stamp beautifully too! I stamped the To/FROM stocking image on some of the Gnome for the Holidays card stock with black Staz On ink. I've never used Staz On ink on coated card stock before and the images are super clean and clear!

The calendar and gift list were designed in Photoshop Elements using the Callove Script and Lemon Tuesday fonts.
