A Disney Christmas

Lucky Caroline! She went to Disneyland in December a few years ago and was able to take in all the lights and sights. Doesn't it look like fun?

She created this layout using the Kris Kringle collection. The playful way Caroline designed this layout fits perfectly with the magical Disney scenes!

Night Lights & Santa Baby

Audrey has two festive layouts to share today. It's fun to read her journaling. It's so important to record those special traditions and memories.

For her "Night Lights" layout she used paper and embellishments from the Kris Kringle collection. We love all the different ways she used rhinestones on the layout and how she snuck in a neutral Spooks paper!

This is how she made it, "I cut out a bunch of circles from the patterned paper, and then punch a few from some of the other patterns. For my 'lights' I used s squiggly line stamp and just added some rhinestones for the 'lights'."

Audrey did a wonderful job layering and combining embellishments in this "Santa Baby" layout. She tucked candy canes in some of the felt accents. Look at that tiny little gift tag she created for the present with the date on it!

On the 9th & 10th Days...

On the 9th day of Christmas, Kate gave to us a cute and candied card to share!

Don't forget to line your envelopes with cheer as well! It's all about the details.

On the 10th day of Christmas SEI gave to you a wrapped hot coco canister with candy canes too!

 
Sure to warm neighbor's hearts and tummies with a simple gift! If you're going to use a glitter paper like we did, be generous with your adhesive.

Wine Holder

This wine holder was sent to us by Memories from the Heart. We love how it shows what can be done with a little creative thinking. Look around for simple packaging that can be dressed up with pretty paper, ribbons, & tags. One of our favorite things about this wine holder is when you open it up you are greeted with a holiday scene from our Christmas Mint paper collection.

On the 11th Day...

On the 11th day of Christmas SEI gave to you 11 gift tags. Now that you have 10 great Christmas ideas & all of your gifts purchased (he, he, he) you are ready to wrap them up, right? Don't forget the tag!





We layered Christmas Mint papers, ribbons & embellishments to create 11 unique gift tags. Creating your own gift tags is a quick & easy way to make a gift more personal.

Time to Decorate

It is crazy to think that Christmas is less than a month away. For many people the day after Thanksgiving means it's time to decorate for the holidays. If you are Jenny Chesnick it means you have been preparing for a while. Jenny sent us images of these wreaths she made using our WinterSong and Christmas Mint collections back in October. Way to be on the ball! To see more of Jenny's creations, check out her blog (we especially like her house using WinterSong). Thanks, Jenny. Keep submitting your projects to us at seiblog(at)shopsei(dot)com. We love it!

For those of you who are not quite as ready for Christmas as Jenny, be sure to check back next week for our annual 12 Days of Christmas. We will have a different wreath idea and so much more. Don't miss it!

Thankful for You

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you will have a wonderful day full of family & food. What are you thankful for? We are thankful for you. The blog wouldn't be the same without you. We appreciate all of your encouraging comments and e-mails.





Today we are featuring a few of Monika Wright's projects. Monika is a busy mom of three. She graciously thanked us for the products she won from one of our giveaways and even sent us images of what she created and here they are! Above is an album she made using the oasis collection. Below is a 2009 December Daily album and Santa's list envelope embellished with our Christmas Mint collection. Thank you, Monika!
