My last #DecemberDBD for 2019

I'm so proud of myself for finishing my #DecemberDBD with Elizabeth Craft Designs, and I'm sad that it's over.  (So I'm hoping to do a page a week in 2020 for FuN!)  Here's days 26 to 30.  I'd done Dec 31 earlier...lol - why do them in order!!


Details and all the pics of the "backside" of the pages can be found on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog today!

New Years December DBD

The design team members for Elizabeth Craft Designsare working hard on last-minute holiday crafts and crafts for New Years. I decided to create a page for New Years for #DecemberDBD.


I have been loving creating the #DecemberDBD pages. For this one, I used the Planner Pocket 2 and Planner Essentials 1 and 4 dies along with the A Field of Flowers stamps.  (I did some masking to create the scene that is shown.) The "Count Your Blessings" sentiment is from the Family set. The reinforcements I used are found in the Planner Essentials 11 set.

The tags were fun to make and to think about. I just typed them on my computer. One will be for pictures, and the other two will be to set some goals for the New Year!

The supplies I used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are below. The paper is from G45 and Tim. Thank you for stopping by!

Favorite Stamp

Crazy4Challenges is challenging us this week to use our favorite stamp. That's impossible; too many to choose from! Instead, I've stamped and colored my favorite things to color with these amazing stamps from Elizabeth Craft Designs, called, "Oh the Joy of Christmas" and "a Field of Flowers."


Yes, love to color flowers and people!  Isn't she just adorable? and those flowers!  <3

Here's another page that I'll add to my December Day-by-Day:


Fun and simple!  The tag insert is stamped with a bit of distress ink with another stamp that's in the Oh the Joy of Christmas set:


Love it!  My supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below. The paper I used is from G45. The ephemera is from Tim. Thanks for stopping by today! Oh! And join the challenge! What is your go-to-stamps?

Unconventional Wrapping

Today, the Dare 2B Artzy team is doing a 3D Projects Facebook hop on the Artzy Community page!  So FuN and easy to possibly win one of two prizes JUST for commenting on Facebook!  WoW!

For my 3D project, I wrapped a couple presents for the tree - using some unconventional wrapping paper!


How fun!  One is wrapped in Target grocery bag, and the other is in a dish-towel. The gift tag is created with the Reindeer Games Stamps and Coordinating Dies.  The paper on the dish-towel wrapped gift is from the Snow Much Fun Collection, and the paper on the Target wrapped gift is from the Holiday Bouquet Collection.

On top of prizes, Dare 2B Artzy is running a SALE!  20% off the entire purchase with code THANKS19 and FREE shipping for overs over $50!  Whoop!  STOP by and see all the FuN inspiration at the Artzy Community Facebook Page!

December DBD - Loving It!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am loving making my December DBD pages using dies from the planner line at Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Here's the latest:


On the left side, I was inspired by a comment in the Facebook ECD Planner Group about what to do with scraps. I cut a bunch of circles and created a page! For the right side, I kept it simple, but I really love that sentiment! (And I can add more stuff later when I add a picture to it - if I feel like it needs more!)

I added dots (with a Molotow acrylic paint pen in metallic silver) and lines around the circles.  Here's a close-up:


The supplies from ECD are below, and the papers are a combination of G45 and Tim.

Thanks for looking!

December Day-by-Day

Elizabeth Craft Designs has TWO fun things happening.  In December, on the ECD Planner Group, everyone will be posting their December Day-by-Day planner pages. There'll be prizes.  Details can be found in the Planner Group.

Also, we have our designer group post going on today.  I mixed the two and came up with my dashboard for my December Day-by-Day planner/scrapbook.


Love that house page from ECD.  So fun with the "hidden" door where one can either post pictures or journal.  (I did both!)  The pic is from last year's Christmas with my family, but since it was a good Christmas, it'll be inspiration for this year's Day-by-Day!

I also did these fun filled pages:



Eek, I love them so much.  I didn't yet put on dates, because I want the pictures to dictate the order of the pages!  My supply list from Elizabeth Craft Designs is below.  The paper is from Graphic 45.
