Have the merriest Christmas, everyone! And remember that Paper House's Christmas Collection will be here to help you scrapbook your family's Christmas festivities!
I cut out part of each 12x12 paper (Chicago Map P-0280E, Chicago Collage P-0281E), leaving a top edge of 1" and trimmed about 1/4" off the bottom to allow for the top edge of the cardstock to show. Each photo is mounted on cardstock (Recollections). Stickles glitter glue adds the bling to the two "Chicago" cardstock stickers (STCX-0068E). Two Millennium Park images from our cardstock stickers fill in the center portion on the right-side page, and various chipboard banners and frames used for photo captions add an interesting touch (thanks, Shaena!).
Something I like to do with projects from my travels is to add pieces of brochures, maps, and other souvenirs that I collect on my trips. On these pages, I made a pocket from the same cardstock used to mount my photos. I decorated the pocket with a portion of the guide book map on which the hotel's concierge marked his recommended sights, then stuck my ticket stubs in the pocket. The Art Institute of Chicago's logo from their brochure cover, mounted on black cardstock, not only adds color and interest but covers up a part of the photo I didn't want to show!
Where to next....?
Susanne showcases her son's team and the spirit of Baseball on this page, featuring Paper House Productions' Baseball Diamond 12x12 Paper and Baseball Chipboard pieces.
Trimming the 12x12 papers and layering cardstock (Bazzill) helped to create a very attractive border effect on each page.
Susanne also accented with printed and colored Tribe Team logos and a printed "Fresh Paint" sign framed with a squiggly border and enhanced with Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Tea Dye" color and a sponge dauber to coordinate with the sand on the field. On the second page, she captioned a photo with the "Play Ball" cardstock sticker from one of Paper House's Baseball Cardstock Sticker sheets. The sun on the first page was made with punches (EKSuccess; Sun, Circles)
See our complete Baseball Collection, featuring the Papers, Cardstock Stickers and Chipboard that Susanne used on these two winning page layouts, plus a whole lot more!
Thanks, Susanne!

Have a great weekend everyone!
Does it GET any more festive? Look at the Winter Trees paper! Can't you just hear Bing singing??
This really gets me in the spirit. I'm going to start my Christmas Wish List...
Do you fondue? We do! We'll be enjoying a chocolate fondue with all kinds of dippers: marshmallows, cake, pretzels, fresh pineapple, strawberries and bananas. We have Rice Krispy Treats with a generous layer of chocolate, a bowl of Dove Chocolates, and chocolate cereals. The chocolate covered blueberries are courtesy of some co-workers who just vacayed in Maine.
We first showed you Lisa R.'s fridge a few weeks ago. Isn't it fabulous?
Have a great weekend, everyone! We may be out sick on Monday.....
I know. You're wondering how we can STAND to be around so much award-winning cuteness and beauty every day, right? The praise and the prizes haven't gone to our heads, though. We're still a fun and friendly company to work with!

Sue coated the block with Modge Podge and covered it with tissue paper, working in sections (front, back, each side, top and bottom). The tissue paper can be applied in torn pieces, flat or wrinkled. Then the entire block gets another coat of Modge Podge. When that's dry, decorate with Rub Ons, apply 2-3 more coats of Modge Podge and it's done!
The hardest part of this project is waiting for the Modge Podge to dry so you can turn on the light! Simple, but gorgeous, and definitely unique! Thanks, Sue...we can't wait to see what you come up with next!
With dozens of Glitter Rub Ons featuring themes from Pets and Florals to Pirates and Dragonflies, you can really personalize these lights! And with new holiday Glitter Rub Ons, you can create unique, beautiful and bright decorations for yourself and for family and friends!
Here's a preview of our new Seasonal Glitter Rub Ons being introduced at CHA later this month.

I have a pantry closet full of paper of nearly all sizes and colors, so I put a few pieces to good use. The texture and color of the base cardstock reminds me of linen. I used scraps of white cardstock to stamp the butterfly/floral collage stamp ("Gentle Thoughts of You" by Stampin' Up!). I backed those with a scrap of pink cs on one card and yellow on the other. Then I embellished the butterfly in the stamp with Paper House Productions' Butterfly-Dream Glitter Rub Ons (RUBGL-0013E). The lovely accent on the side of the cards is one of the rubons on the Butterfly-Dream sheet, too! I think it makes a beautiful border accent!
I purposely left off any tag/greeting so that I could use these for any occasion. One of them went to my mom for her birthday - she has been expecting handmade cards from me on every occasion since I first started handcrafting them 20-something years ago!
The boxes are eco-friendly, just like our cards! There are 27 images to choose from, and each box contains 10 cards.
Our boxed Christmas Cards are included in our incredibly special April Christmas Special! If you haven't subscribed to our newsletter to receive our exclusive specials yet, what are you waiting for? Christmas?? Go to http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/ today and subscribe!
