I'll play! I don't know if I'll do any paper crafting - I may work on some decorative frames and painted mason jars instead. I bought the supplies for these projects last fall but didn't have much time for crafting.

I bought the supplies for these projects last fall but didn't have much time for crafting. I seem to do this quite a bit - buy things and then not make time for them. I hope you'll be able to get them completed with us.

I guess Hallmark Channel's Christmas in July starts on the 14th and runs for a week.

I am going for an eye exam on Tuesday. The appointment is right next door to a sign painting place that offers classes and also work space to create wood signs with stencilled words. I want to make a sign for each of my dil's for Christmas, so I think I will try to make an appointment for sometime in July. Any of you card makers who want to play around with some prototypes and share with others, check out the Ten for Ten Christmas in July Card Exchange

This sounds like fun. A great way to tackle one of my unfinished Christmas journals!

If you are a card maker and looking for ideas, here is my Christmas Card Ideas board. Would love to see some of your favorite pins, or your whole board!

OK, so I haven't had a lot of time for perusing the forum and missed grammadee's pinterest board. I had set up a board " RP CIJ Cards" for Christmas cards and one for tags " RP CIJ Tags". That I thought I would invite all those who are interested in pinning to it to do so. I had invited Dee the other day as I already follow her on pinterest. I just invited gale w. Feel free to share your own boards too. I just started this board for all gift/home decor ideas " RF CIJ Ideas".

I finished my 2015 Christmas layouts. Whoo! I really cut back and only used a handful of photos. I picked the best ones and the ones that had a story. I tossed the rest!

Great job, mikklynn! It's always hard to make those choices when you love all of the photos.

Oooh, count me in! Every year I say that I'm going to start working on my Christmas cards earlier and every year I procrastinate (read: shop, think, shop, decide, shop.... but never actually do it!).
Last year I put together personalized calendars and since I didn't decide to do those until Black Friday, I really struggled to get them all done on time. I need to start in July!

I make calendars every year, and after one year of scrambling in November, I now do next year's January page this year, and so on. But starting in July will still give you lots of time! and if you want to have some motivation for getting started on those cards, how about joining us for 10 for 10?

Adele's livestream is Saturday. I am booting the family out for as long as possible. My current photos are due Thursday. Now...to decide if I am going to work on DD or that order. Decisions, decisions.

I'm at the cabin this week and am halfway done with my Christmas cards! It took me longer than usual to come up with a design I liked. I also bought an album for my DD from the awesome LSS here! I'm a total nerd I know but I want my DD albums to match. I'm so tempted to start my DD pages. Love doing Christmas pages!!

I love this idea ! I might not have room for scrapbook albums but I can certainly use Christmas cards.

Christmas in July is a pretty big deal here. We embraced the opportunity to celebrate a fake Christmas in winter (as opposed to our Aussie summer Christmas). I'm on my uni break at the moment so was planning on catching up on my memory keeping projects. Including finishing off the last two years' December Daily albums! I just need to find a way to keep my toddler entertained and occupied so that I can work

I'm in for this, LisaDV. I have all my Christmas photos from last year to scrap. I need the encouragement. I also want to make a bunch of tags and a Christmas Ornament for each grandchild.

I'm going to try and join in! I had my 2016 cards all planned out and then didn't get to do any of them. I ended up moving and somewhere in the move I lost my mojo!

Okay, so I might be in.
I just uploaded all the photos on my young sons' camera that they were given for last Christmas.
They took some adorable photos of each other near the Christmas tree, and eating candy canes.

I am currently working on Xmas photos and have decided that anything left at the end of scrapping those photos can be removed from my stash, especially the paper. I am sick of looking at the same Xmas lines that I've been hoarding for 2 or 3 years!

It looks like there are quite a few of us ready to work on Christmas projects. I think this is so awesome!!! I can't wait to hear and see what everyone is working on. I'm just started a new thread for CIJ chat.
