Christmas Craftiness

I'm visiting with relatives right now, and having a lovely time.

Yesterday, the ladies of the family gathered for a wonderful brunch and

crafting session! My dear sister-in-law Tracy makes beautiful cards with Stampin' Up

products, and she brought supplies and materials for all of us (seven all together)

and gave us great instructions on how to use the stamps and punches.

We all became engrossed in creating "step" cards in a tan, black and cream color scheme.

Lots of fun! Our results were diverse and we had a lot of laughs along the way.

Tracy also made place card luminaries for everyone in the family, with LED candles 

in each. At night, with the lights off, the effect is so lovely.

Here are the luminaries for my family. (My husband's family name is Dave)

And, finally, we got together and made a family album/scrapbook with plenty of photos 

and tributes from all. The final page featured one of the family dogs, Bob, the English Bulldog.

So cute!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
