Christmas in July Gnome Wishes Cinch Book

 Boy have I been slacking on my blog!!! I guess its time to start catching up 😊

     I have finally done a Christmas In July Project! I am not much for planning anything but I kind of did for this one. My friend found a Cinch Machine for one heck of a deal, she got the machine for $4 CAD and 6 sets of 3/8" coils for $1 a piece I think she said! She wasn't entirely sure what it was but knew it was a fun crafty tool so she got it. When I seen it up on her shelf I asked her if I could play with it and she said sure, so it came to live at my house and this is what happened...


     So the first one I made was the Cinch book but then I realized that there are a lot of crafters out there that may want to make this but don't have a Cinch Machine so I made it into a Mini Album!! I used a digital collection by Nitwit Collections called Gnome for Christmas. Such a cute collection and has so many cute Gnomes... as you can see!! 

The above photo is of the 1st page. There is some kind of fun element on each page and still not an overly chunky book!
The above photo here shows that 1st page open and with spots for 7 full 4" x 6" photos
The below photo is a layout I did with the collection with 2 spots for a cropped photo

The above photo is just another layout with the collection with a spot for a cropped photo.
Below is the open look at the Ta-da that this page has, 6 spots for full 4" x 6" photos and 2 spots for cropped photos. 

Here is a look at the back of the above page and the front of the next page. Just a couple spots to tuck things or add an insert with more photos

This page just has a pocket with a hidden pocket when you open it with a fold down photo insert.
This page will hold 5 full 4" x 6" photos with room for more


Above is another fun layout for 2 cropped photos
Below is a Ta-da that I don't have an image of but it will hold 9 photos. Keep scrolling down and you will find the project share video from my YouTube Channel.


Here is the last page with its Ta-da and spots for 10 full 4" x 6" photos and 2 for 3" x 4" photos. There is also a tuck pocket on either side for more spots for photos.

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
