To keep with the elegant and sophisticated look for a 50th birthday party, I created a banner showcasing my husband through the years. You will need the following supplies to create this project:
I collected photos of my husband from two years old to the present. Scanned, cropped and edited those photos in Memory Manager 4.0. Then, I printed them on matte presentation paper. Cut them out and adhered cropped photos to chipboard (cereal box cardboard is a great option). Trimmed the photos again. Applied foil tape to the edges. Punched holes in the upper corners of each photo and strung the ribbon. Hung it. Voila!
I paired the photo banner with a Happy Birthday banner on loan from my mother. All the guests enjoyed looking at the banner and it added to the festive atmosphere.
I use Memory Manager 4.0 by Creative Memories, but any photo editing software will do.

She was an elementary school teacher turned stay at home mom, and later a home school mom. Over the years, she designed cakes on the side and went to school to become a certified chocolatier. She always has loved to craft since she was young and it was something that she wanted to be doing, but set it aside due to her busy life. After 15 years of doing cakes she decided it was time to stop and focus more on her family. She began doing layouts, then cards and it went from there.

Once you find the perfect gift for a person, what about the perfect box to give it in? The packaging can be as special as the surprise inside so why not create your own handmade boxes for those special gifts. This gable box becomes extra special when using the Nutcracker Sweet line by Graphic 45.

It seems like it’s now down to the wire time for getting everything finished for the holidays. If you still don’t have those holiday cards marked off your “to do” list, don’t panic. There’s an easy way to make 10 cards in a short time. A 10 Card Wonder is the answer to your worries.

The idea is everywhere for 3D canvas art. My take on it is very simple and can be made with a sheet of cardstock, letters and some glue. It’s very pretty and able to be framed without glass for a whole season of prettiness.
Supplies:
Chip board Letters
Chip Board Snowflakes
Bristol Board - Cardstock
Frame with mat - no glass
Tacky Glue
White Paint
Brush

I have always loved the Nutcracker Suite so was especially excited when Graphic 45 came out with this paper line. There is just something magical about the story that adds to the enchantment of the holidays for me. I love the unusual folds of an explosion book and decided that the Nutcracker Sweet would be the perfect paper to use for this type of book. When finished it can hold small photos of the special times you had during the holidays, or it can hold little remembrances of such things as gift tags for those special gifts you received.
