Pins To Creation December Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pins to Creation Winter/Christmas/Hanukkah blog hop!!!

There are some fantastic projects for you to see and I hope you get inspired.

If you have just happened by and would like to start at the beginning than head on over to the Pins to Creation Blog. If you have come here from Jessica's blog than you are in the right place.

Here was my inspiration:


This orginally cam from Court at Court's Crafts


This orginally came from Donna at Popsicle Toes

Like usual you can see these pictures on my Pinterest boards.


On to my projects:


I used the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge to create my card and instead of doing the background embossed (too big to fit into my textured boutique embosser) I used pretty glitter paper.




I used the idea rather than to copy her card directly. I loved how she layered the sentiment. I did the same thing using three layers of the shadow feature for the base of each word. Such a simple card, but the layering makes it special. I, also, embossed the top layer of the words. This sentiment also came from the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge.

I hope you enjoyed my winter cards and now it's time to visit Esther to see what she has come up with for the hop!!!

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...
