Skunk Train

 Took a break from my December Day-by-Day to create a page for each of our granddaughter's albums. The memory is a new family tradition of taking the Skunk Train here in Northern California. The weather was a bit rainy and drizzly, but we made the best and had a great time!

The products I used are almost all from Elizabeth Craft Designs.




The paper is from the Joyous Christmas collection, and the dies are from the Planner Essentials and Cute & Whimsical lines. I love making these albums for the grands.

Craftily yours, Karen

December Day-by-Day (Days 17 - 20)

 Adding another batch of pages to my December Day-by-Day using products from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I went to Hawaii to get warm for a week, so I've been delayed further.  We had an amazing time in Hawaii, so it was totally worth it!





I love that dancing bear and the adorable moose from the Cute & Whimsical collection. Most of the paper is from the Reminiscence Book 8. The other dies are Planner Essentials and Everyday Elements.

Still making progress - slow and steady!  Thank you for stopping by!

Craftily yours, Karen

December Day-by-Day (Days 10 - 16)

More pages for my December Day-by-Day with products from Elizabeth Craft Designs





I sort of cheated on Days 10-13 because I really didn't do anything during those four days due to a shot in my neck.  That wasn't fun.  It'll leave more room for Christmas Eve and Christmas later!

The paper is almost all from the Reminiscence Book 8, and the dies are from the Planner Essentials and Everyday Collection lines (except for the train - which is from the Cute & Whimsical Collection)!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Craftily yours, Karen

Sidekick Saturday - Pets

 Playing along again with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Sidekick Saturday challenge for 2025. This week's challenge is Pets.  Easy Peezy.  This page is for my "him and me" album and it documents this adorable picture of our dog going on the Skunk Train (a train that goes through the redwoods here in Northern California).



We got so many comments on his adorable Santa sweater!

Excited to be continuing to finish my December 2024 Day-by-Day album using the products from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Greats and Grands


I took a quick break from my December Day-by-Day to add these pages to my granddaughter Kennedy's album.  The first are the grandparents meeting Kennedy on her day one.  The next page shows my husband's dear parents with her.  The dies used are from the Planner Essentials line at Elizabeth Craft Designs. The paper is from my stash.





I LoVe LoVe LoVe the picture of my father-in-law laughing with Katie and Kennedy!

December Day-by-Day (cover through Day 5)

 Finally!  I got a start to my December Day-by-Day!  I'm really late, but I'm determined to do it.  I love these albums, and I have been creating them since 2019. All of the products used in these pages can be found at Elizabeth Craft Designs! (Note that I did use some retired dies, but there are probably similar ones still on the site!) The paper is all from the Reminiscence Book 8.


I love this mouse with her Christmas Accessories!


So fun going to a Sacramento Kings game with my mom-in-law.


My bestie. (Applies above or below!)



Thanks for checking out the album so far!

Sparkle Smash

 We recently went to Monster Truck at a local arena. I did not have much hope that I would enjoy it, but we took our grand....and she LOVED it.  We had so much fun watching her root on her favorite truck - Sparkle Smash - a giant and very loud unicorn truck.




You can see the pure joy in her sweet little face.

Craftily yours, Karen
