Document Christmas 2014 – Week 1 Recap

Weihnachtsalbum 2014 – 1. Wochenrückblick   So, now that you know all about my Document Christmas 2014 project from Tuesday’s post, I’m actually ready to start sharing my first couple of page spreads. (Keep in mind, they’ll be printed, cut, and assembled in an A5-size album.) I started my album this last Wednesday (when I decided to decorate my home for Christmas) and below you can see my first four pages. By the way, I made my own photo pockets for this project (on these pages you can see their actual sizes), and if you’d like to find out how to get them before I start posting them, you can check out yesterday’s blog post. Also, nun, da ihr ja alles über mein Weihnachtsalbum 2014 wisst (falls nicht, schaut mal im Artikel vom letzten Dienstag nach), bin ich jetzt soweit, dass ich euch meine ersten Seiten zeigen kann. (Zur Erinnerung: Ich drucke meine Seiten auf A4 Papier, zerschneide sie und füge sie am Ende in einem A5 Album zusammen.) Ich habe mein Album letzten Mittwoch …

Freebie Friday: Holly & Pine – Part 4 and a Giveaway

Freebie Freitag: Holly & Pine – Teil 4 und eine Zugabe It’s the most important part of the week: The Freebie Friday part and today will be exciting for all those Project Life memory keepers among you: The Pocket Love cards. As the previous PL cards have been downloaded hundreds of times, I’m expecting this one to be no different, so have fun playing with them. (And go ahead and pin, twitter, talk about this on your blog and social media, so more people can come here and pick up this freebie, too. I’m sure they’d appreciate finding out about this.) And if you’re new to mistyhilltops.com, don’t forget to collect the other parts of this entire collection, or the other freebies for that matter. There’s also two Christmas kits that I created in previous years, and they’re still really popular downloads, too. So, you might want to check them out as well. Just search for “December Stories” or “A Cozy Christmas” and you’ll find all the downloads. Now, before we move on to the …

Hybrid Hub: Christmas Cards 2014 – Part 2

Bastelecke: Weihnachtskarten 2014 – Teil 2   Here’s my next set of Christmas cards. I made them using a number of digital scrapbooking products as well as some plain card stock. I cut out everything with my Silhouette Cameo and then put the cards together. Hier ist meine nächste Runde an Weihnachtskarten. Ich habe sie mit Hilfe von verschiedenen digitalen Scrapbook Produkten sowie einfachem Tonpapier erstellt. Mit meiner Silhouette Cameo habe ich dann alles ausgeschnitten und die Karten zusammengebastelt.

Enable Me: Card Tutorials by K Werner Design

Inspiration am Mittwoch: Karten von K Werner Design   Two weeks ago I promised you I’d be linking you up with awesome youtube inspiration on card making, and then last week I totally flaked it. But as there’s always another chance, this week you’ll finally get to see what I mean. I’m simply going to hook you up with Kristina’s Youtube Channel where she has like hundreds of video tutorials on making all sorts of cards. For many of the Christmas cards I made this year, I took inspiration from her examples. Kristina mainly works with stamps and what not, but her card designs are awesome and even if you’re a plain old traditional card maker or a hybrid card maker – her ideas are easy to copy and definitely worth your while. Vor zwei Wochen habe ich euch versprochen, dass ich euch mit toller Youtube Inspiration übers Karten erstellen verlinken würde, und dann hab ich’s letzte Woche einfach voll verfehlt. Aber es gibt beim Bloggen ja immer noch ein nächstes Mal und diese Woche …

Journaling Café: Thanksgiving

Mein Tagebuch: Thanksgiving   A new week – a new start. And this week is especially exciting. Why? It’s Thanksgiving! Of course, as I’m not from the U.S. I could actually care less about that, BUT: since my colleagues are mainly Americans, we all get an extra holiday. And that I do care about! And as this is about giving thanks, I’d like to say a heartfelt “Thank-you” to my colleagues for being the reason that I get to have an extra holiday! Yay! But before I get lost in all that thankfulness, there’s something else I had on my mind doing here today. Yes, right! The weekly journaling prompts. And you guessed it! It’s more on Thanksgiving. Please bear with me all non-Americans among my readers. It’s going to be over, soon, and at any rate, we can all do with a little more thankfulness, no matter the cause! So, take a look at this week’s prompts. Eine neue Woche, ein neuer Anfang. Und diese Woche hat es ganz besonders in sich. Warum? Weil’s …
