December Daily Book - Dates Are Finished!!

This year I am going to do a December Daily Book. I will be documenting/ journaling something each day in the month of December. I Will be using Simple Stories Handmade Holiday Collection.
While I'm waiting for supplies. I decided to make up my date tags for each day in December.
This is something new for me. I have never done Project Life or Simple Stories before.
December is a month full of activities and this would be a good way to document the festivities.

Supplies Used:

Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers - Deer and Tree
Martha Stewart - Border Punch and Snowflake Punch
Sizzix Movers and Shapers Die - Scalloped Circle
SU - 1-3/4" Circle Punch

I spritzed the Scallop circle, numbers, border punch image and pine branches with Perfect Pearls Mist with Heirloom gold.

Pumpkin Carving

Our Granddaughter was over and we had to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.

Well Chuck got in on the action making this his first Cricut project.

Here is the step by step process.

First cut off the top

Then our granddaughter Scooped out the middle

She said it was gooey

Our Granddaughter Picked out the pumpkin face from the Pumpkin Carving cartridge.

I cut it out on the Cricut Mini.

Chuck traced the face on the pumpkin

Here it is.

Then Chuck carved the face

Then our granddaughter pulled out the pieces to the face.

What a great team!!

Our granddaughter wants to keep the cut out pieces.

Here's a close up of it all lit up.

Now I get to scrapbook it!!

Make Your Own Journaling Tags

I decided to try my hand at making some journaling tags for a layout I am working on.
I wanted to pass the information along to you so you can get some ideas and try some yourself!
I'm not one to put journaling on my layouts. But, I want to change that and incorporate it in a fun way. I used my CTMH stamp sets and Cricut Cuts.

Here's some of what I came up with. I can't wait to use them on some layouts!

Supplies:

CTMH Stamp sets used:
S1109 - Limited Edition for the lines.
C1526 - Spellbound Cricut Workshop Holidays for Happy Halloween.
C1522 - Creepy Creatures Holiday
