Classic Ads of Days Gone By - CJ

This was my Circle Journal with my NZ scrapbooking friends. My topic "Classic Ads of Days Gone By" was inspired by my love of advertising and marketing. I wanted to know what advertisements people relate to - I was happy for the same ad to be used multiple times by different people. I love all the pages - and there were some ads that I thought "Oh yeah I loved that ad too - but it hadnt come to my mind when I was creating my page" - Dear John & PG Tips Ads for example.

Thanks ladies for participating in my CJ - once again - job well done - I love it.

A Perfect Day - CJ

This is my page for Glenna's "A Perfect Day" CJ. When I was thinking about my perfect day I had so many things come to mind - that I wouldnt be able to fit them all in 24 hours. So I selected a few.

My perfect day has to consist of family time with my boys, adventure and thrill seeking, viewing sports, going to a concert and scrapbooking (or some kind of craft time) - I guess in reality I wouldnt fit all those in a 24 hour period either.

Christmas Challenge - Day 23

Christmas Lights

Ok - so I didnt make these. But I did help put them up - lol.

I LOVE houses with Christmas Lights - and while we are very basic in what we have - it is a work in progress - each year we will purchase one or two nice items to add to the collection. The two santa lights we have relate to Bailey - last year he got a surf board for christmas and this year he wants a motorbike (but he's not getting one - lol). I also love the santa surfing as that represents Christmas to us - we often go to the beach Christmas afternoon so the boys can surf while us girls work on our tan.

But what I am most excited about...my husband has promised to take me and Bailey to the USA next year for a "White" Christmas and New Years at New York - I cant wait!! And what am looking forward to most is seeing the Christmas Lights on the houses in the US, the decorations around malls etc - and snow at Christmas time!!

Christmas Challenge - Day 22

Button Christmas Tree

I am making 12 of these little Button Christmas Trees and I will be putting a name near the star and a table setting. Quick, simple and easy - so making 12 didnt take too long.

Christmas Challenge - Day 21

Advent Calendar

Ok - so I admit this isnt new this year - but it is a work in progress each year - and we often use it as the background in our Santa Photos.

This year I put bells on the reindeer and some beads here and there. Normally I skitch lollies &/or chocolates on each number in the picture but I didnt this year as I am limiting Bailey's sugar intake and he has his new draw advent calendar.

Christmas Challenge - Day 20

Christmas Wreath

I love this. Made from pipe cleaners & beads - supa cute - supa easy. I made them in mini size and I am going to make some with the kids tomorrow afternoon - simple but effective (well I think they are).

Christmas Challenge - Day 19

Beaded Christmas Bells

The body of these Christmas Bells is similar to the angels I make - I just included a jingle bell & ribbon bow.
