A Litte Bit of Holiday Cheer

Damn contemporary, bullshit architecture


REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME


According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeers retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

New Tuts

I came home Friday to a flood. One of the pipes had a pinpoint leak in it and of course, sending out an emergency call to the plumber go him there around 8 am Saturday morning. After I'd been bailing all night. ::sigh::

So I've been doing clean up. The rug is finally drying out - it smelled like a dirty, wet, wookie. I put carpet fresh on it, and now it smells like a dirty, wet wookie with carpet fresh on it. Very gross.

Let it Snow


This first tutorial uses Crazed's Creations Let it Snow taggers kit. I was keen to play with this one when she released it, and I was really happy with the kit.

You can find the Winter Fae tutorial at Di Before Dawn.

Kiss of Winter 2


Extrapolating a bit from the above tutorial, I did this tag using Schnegge's Kiss of Winter 2 blog train freebie and her Winter Girl poser pack. The elements are different, the layouts basically the same, and the frames are already done, you don't need to add anything to them.

I saw no reason to write up a separate tutorial. You're bright, you can figure it out I'm sure.

Wynter Solstice


I've become very fond of Nette's kits, so I used her part of the Winter Solstice collab for this tutorial for Scrapper's Secret.

I am using the beautiful artwork of Morgana Wynter for this. You can find the tutorial at Di Before Dawn. I need to get a few more of Morgana's tubes when I get paid, she's got some nice ones.

Five Golden Rings 1


When Julie released the "Mike on Ice" poser pack, I e-mailed her and said it looked nothing like MY Mike. I don't think he looked this good, even in his prime. And of course, he's into hockey, not figure skating.

With the winter Olympics coming up this year, I decided to base a kit on the poser pack and am putting together a kit called Five Golden Rings which will be available Monday, December 21st, exclusively at Scrappetizing.com.

Five Golden Rings 2


Winter sports not your thing? You can use it for some very nice winter tags as well, it's quite versatile. Needless to say, no, I don't look like the poser either. LOL!

No tutorials on those, they are sampler tags - consider them a sneak peak.

Please remember that I've got not one but two blog trains launching on Tuesday so be sure to stop back and collect your freebies.

Anyway, I think I need to jump in the shower and then head out to the store now, if only to get away from the smell of dirty wet carpet-freshed wookie for a while.

Then I'll have to sit down and make up some Olympic medals.

And here you thought I was nothing but a party girl!

Winter Solstice Preview


Before the Jewish Holiday of Haunakah, and before the Christians took over the end of the month for Christmas, Pagans celebrated the Winter Solstice as the coming of Noio Helle - Noel - New Light, into the world.

I've been in a bit of a party mood, so I've been working on a New Year's kit. His is a bit of a sneak peak:

A New Beginnning

New cute tut

New tut using the Christmas Critters taggers kit from Crazed's Creations. This is a totally adorable kit and it went so well with the Bromley tube.

Christmas Critters


You can pick up the tutorial at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

I also did a tag using Katie's Kiss of Winter blog train freebie kit - no tut this time.

Kiss of Winter


I'm going to see the orthopedic surgeon about my leg. Best case scenario: anthroscopic surgery under a regional anesthesia (and I can watch on TV!) - worst case: 3 to 4 months of rehab work. ::sigh::

Tutin' Fool

A Gothic Snowfall


I did this tag using Gothic Intentions Winter Wonderland taggers kit and some fab artwork by Unholy Vault Designs. I so do love her work!

The kit is FTU for a limited time only. You can try the tutorial for yourself HERE.

Candy Cane Elf


Another blog train kit, this time from Nette's NightOwl Works on the Gothic Inspirations Holiday Wishes train. The Joanna Bromley tube was one of the one that MPT sent out as a Holiday Gift for their customers.

You can find this tutorial at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

Winter Snowman


And last but not least, I used Jen's portion of the Scrapper's Secret Winter Solstice collab to do up this adorable little snowman tag.

It's an easy peasy tutorial that you can get at Di Before Dawn.
