Here are another series of things I've made that were either copied from or inspired by things I found on Pinterest. Although I am usually a fanatic about credits, I have cookies in the oven and I'm going to be lazy - you can find the original pins <a href="http://pinterest.com/tkosofsky/">if you follow me on Pinterest here</a>.<br /><br />Melted snowman cookies (a three day process and really a PITA - and don't even taste that good. Not worth it again).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVnw5kEDtGY/TuzN_CYri-I/AAAAAAAACB0/N5-ADtTRMcg/s1600/Melted-Snowmen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVnw5kEDtGY/TuzN_CYri-I/AAAAAAAACB0/N5-ADtTRMcg/s400/Melted-Snowmen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687146912317934562" border="0" /></a><br />Laundry sign.

I loved the idea and wanted to create my own, so I fired up Photoshop Elements and gave it a try! I'm really happy with the way it turned out. The background paper is from <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Sweet-Songs.html">Sweet Songs</a> by ViVa Artistry and the fonts are Impact (dates) and Aquarelle (script). There are two date layers, both in overlay blending mode - one at 100% and one at 60%. I'm going to print this out (it's 8x10) and mat and frame it! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iY1myUcKZzo/TuTLLgLILTI/AAAAAAAAB_8/PwB20-5HNOs/s1600/Important-Dates.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iY1myUcKZzo/TuTLLgLILTI/AAAAAAAAB_8/PwB20-5HNOs/s400/Important-Dates.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684892028124015922" border="0" /></a>Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-26445944139712600162011-12-10T17:23:00.000-05:002011-12-10T17:24:16.278-05:0025 Days of December - Day 10<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9SYprKSeMk/TuPcC-DBhNI/AAAAAAAAB_w/HORDLQYe-HY/s1600/Dec-10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y9SYprKSeMk/TuPcC-DBhNI/AAAAAAAAB_w/HORDLQYe-HY/s400/Dec-10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684629098245227730" border="0" /></a>Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-33460316232139459392011-12-09T22:09:00.001-05:002011-12-09T22:10:19.292-05:0025 Days of December - Day 9<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32RbAVWl1gg/TuLNlQRGRwI/AAAAAAAAB_k/ixSDZ4iRGCw/s1600/Dec-9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32RbAVWl1gg/TuLNlQRGRwI/AAAAAAAAB_k/ixSDZ4iRGCw/s400/Dec-9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684331719600523010" border="0" /></a>Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-7016065710435372492011-12-08T19:53:00.003-05:002011-12-08T19:54:34.558-05:0025 Days of December - Day 8In addition to Danyale's great stuffs, I added <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Noel-A-Vintage-Christmas-Kit.html">Noel by Mari Koegelenberg</a> to my supply list!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HXWErlxpZlU/TuFcN4FfDKI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/rF1F77XEPKk/s1600/Dec-8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HXWErlxpZlU/TuFcN4FfDKI/AAAAAAAAB_Y/rF1F77XEPKk/s400/Dec-8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683925598181723298" border="0" /></a>Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-56148161317105315422011-12-07T20:37:00.001-05:002011-12-07T20:39:24.480-05:0025 Days of December - Day 7Added All Stitched Up Volume 2 by Kimeric Kreations to the mix.

Someone get me a drink! I am doing a "Countdown to Christmas" mini this year and instead of doing it at the end of the month (like I did last year), I am doing a layout each day, again based around our Christmas activities from our countdown tree. I had two goals:<br />1. Keep it very simple<br />2. Focus on the photos and especially the journaling.<br /><br />In keeping with these two goals, I decided to use a single kit for the entire mini, and I chose <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/I-Dream-of-Snow-Kit.html">I Dream of Snow</a> by Etc. by Danyale. I am also using the daily FREEBIE mini album pages by Roadside Designs <a href="http://roadsidedesigns.blogspot.com/">that you can find on her blog</a>. I'm also using two fonts consistently: Jellyka Delicious Cake (a freebie) and Mel's Type A Personality by Mel Wilson.<br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);" class=" down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span><br />And...I'm already caught up (three days in)!

The first one is my favorite (and also the most complicated) - I made four flavors of Skittles vodka (which is more time consuming than I expected - you can google and find the recipe) and packaged them up in a Starbucks Frappuccino four pack that I altered with some digi supplies from Ho Ho Ho by Chelle's Creations, fiber and fluid chalk.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-78rgwzqk_58/TtpIrVZ-fkI/AAAAAAAAB9w/DeDmUQrDnyE/s1600/Skittles-Vodka.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-78rgwzqk_58/TtpIrVZ-fkI/AAAAAAAAB9w/DeDmUQrDnyE/s400/Skittles-Vodka.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681933789198974530" border="0" /></a><br />The second was really easy - I packaged up a Tervis Tumbler with a hot lid and a cold lid and included several packets of Iced tea to go and several tea bags. This gift came in at just under $20 each (mostly due to the cost of the Tervis supplies - but I did get them at Bed Bath and Beyond and used my coupons). I topped them off with a cute tag that fit the "tea" theme using Holly Jolly Holiday by Chelle's Creations.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--jHEGH7UXnY/TtpIrOtl8_I/AAAAAAAAB9c/-PdGrYYirYI/s1600/Tumbler-Gift.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--jHEGH7UXnY/TtpIrOtl8_I/AAAAAAAAB9c/-PdGrYYirYI/s400/Tumbler-Gift.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681933787402204146" border="0" /></a><br />And finally, even easier - I packaged a Starbucks gift card, some chocolate nuggets and Starbucks Via (coffee to go) in a mug, finished off with a tag using 12 Days by Mari Koegelenberg (which is also available as a paper kit by My Mind's Eye).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-asGQ67NOBfc/TtpIq7B1hPI/AAAAAAAAB9U/DxWObAva6cY/s1600/Coffee-Mugs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-asGQ67NOBfc/TtpIq7B1hPI/AAAAAAAAB9U/DxWObAva6cY/s400/Coffee-Mugs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681933782118401266" border="0" /></a><br />Hope this gives you some good gift ideas!Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-46109792064044675372011-09-08T22:27:00.004-04:002011-09-08T22:29:55.988-04:00What has sadly become a monthly postwith my layouts from DST....I keep swearing I am going to get back to blogging, but I spend most of my online time on Facebook these days.....<br /><br />Created using Natural Beauty by Trixie Scraps, DST's September 2011 Gold Member Kit<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kBZ4bp8Ft3M/Tml55F2pKbI/AAAAAAAAB9M/jpEewvXpcxU/s1600/True-Beauty.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kBZ4bp8Ft3M/Tml55F2pKbI/AAAAAAAAB9M/jpEewvXpcxU/s400/True-Beauty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650181229243869618" border="0" /></a><br />Created using Beautifully You by Daybreak Scraps, DST's September 2011 New To You Kit<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NYMw0clYkF0/Tml55PBj4TI/AAAAAAAAB9E/vh-oz0wXAYA/s1600/Beautiful-Inside.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NYMw0clYkF0/Tml55PBj4TI/AAAAAAAAB9E/vh-oz0wXAYA/s400/Beautiful-Inside.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650181231705579826" border="0" /></a>Tracy Kosofskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08514727066980168546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842254979563422922.post-48098575273044852582011-08-04T19:12:00.002-04:002011-08-04T19:14:40.176-04:00Layouts!It's getting kind of sad that I'm only updating my blog once a month or so.
