Day Two=Whymsical Christmas & New Years Blog Hop

Merry Christmas and Welcome to the Whymsical Christmas & New Years Blog Hop. We are celebrating Jessica's 21st Birthday.    Jessica has some awesome blog candy so be sure to check it out.


This hop is scheduled from December 28 midnight through December 29 at 11:59 pm. If you just happened to come to this blog, you can start at the beginning with Jessica http://scrappyluvs.blogspot.com/. If you just came from Tami’s http://tamboscreations.blogspot.com/ blog, then you are in the right spot

We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies.

The hop is a 2 day hop so you will have plenty of time to make it through the whole hop lineup twice. Please come back both days to see great projects. Today's theme is New Years.

For my project, I made 2 cards.  The digi stamps are from Digital Delights http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.blogspot.com/.  I used my Copic Markers to color them.   Use crystal lacquer on the eyes, bottle and glass.  Stickles on the bubbles.  Then added some patterned and solid paper.  Ribbon and a flower embellishment.  And bingo a simple New Year's card!

 The idea for this hop was to a project for Christmas using non traditional colors.  So, I used my favorite color PINK!  I made a countdown box.  I used Karen's Foster Countdown box.  I used the pink Christmas papers to cover the sides, back, tops and front of each of the drawers.  I used black sticker numbers and some Christmas buttons.

My project is 2 cards. I used digi images and then I colored them with my copic markers.

  I cut an oval around the image, inked it and then mounted it on a patterned paper.  The sentiment is also a digi image.  Mounted it on cupcake paper for the inside.  I used crystal lacquer on the candle and flame.  I put some rhinestones and ribbon.

I cut the image out.  Mounted it on cupcake paper by Best Creations.  I put digi sentiment on cupcake paper by Recollections.   Added some ribbon to the inside and outside.


I love cupcakes!  I always loved cupcakes, and I am not surprise they have become so popular lately.  They are so much fun to make.   I made these Rootbeer Float Cupcakes this summer and they are my favorite.

 Yesterday, I shared the little girl in me Christmas List.  Today, I would like to share my GROWNUP CHRISTMAS LIST.    All I Want For Christmas is A FAMILY CHRISTMAS.  I love my family and family has always been important to me.  I love spending time with them.  But I also love getting the chance to make or find something special to light up their eyes and bring out the little kid in them.  So, I made this layout to put our annual Family Christmas Pictures.   

I used the same paper as yesterday.  Again I used Joys of the Season.  I cut out the Poinseittas, snowflakes, and tree with the cartridge.  I used Hannah Montana for the Title.   I used pink crystal lacquer on the poinseitta berry.  The large snowflake opens and will serve as a journaling tag.

To be eligible for the grand prize blog candy, you MUST visit Lisa blog and leave a comment on Lisa  blog for the day and also become a follower at "Scrapping With Lisa" and Lisa facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrapping-with-Lisa/130882060268842. Please let me know if Lisa don't do facebook and I won't count that against you for the blog candy. Now for the blog candy, I bet you are wondering what it could be. It will be a mini paper bag album that will come with all the pieces you would need to assemble the mini album.

I have some blog candy.  It is some Christmas Paper, stickers and a bottle of stickles.  Just be a follower and leave a comment each day of the blog.

My projects for today are wooden ornaments and wooden frames.

I painted each wooden frame.  Then I trace the frame shape on to the paper I wanted to decopauge on to the front.  Cut it out and decoupaged it on to the frame.  After it dried, I took some paint and light edged around the paper and frame edges to make it look distressed.  Added some flower/button embellies.

The wooden ornaments I purchased at Joanns. For the angel, I used paint markers.  Then I used some glitter glue on the crown, collar and wand. 

For the wood crosses, I painted them a solid color.  After they dried, I fill the inside with colored beads in glue.  I then added some ribbon, pearls and a flower.

Thanks for hopping with us.  I have some little blog candy for some lucky hopper,  a small winter album kit.  Just be a follower and leave a comment each day.  

Now head on over to Lynda to see what beautiful ideas she has for you.
