Have a very miniature Christmas!

So I put together a slightly better Christmas miniature scene just in time for Christmas.

Though it's still not where I want it, I did enjoy making some new minis.  Next year, however, I plan on making a permanent scene with wood floors, a better color choice on the walls and a fireplace.

miniature Christmas tree

I decorated the Christmas tree with a red pipe cleaner, and a few pompoms.  The girls have some sticker earrings and I stole one for the tree topper.  I also made some stockings.

miniature Christmas cards

I also made some Christmas cards using card stock and stickers.

I also added a wreath a snowman ornament.  And apparently there was a mouse was stirring the night before Christmas.


I also wanted to share a picture from days long past of my very first Christmas miniature scene.

Unfortunately it is the only picture that I have.  It's hard to see but there is an elf sitting on the rocking chair.

Last but not least, my other hobby is making junk journals.  For those who don't know, junk journals are journals made from paper trash and are used just like a journal except you can make art in them and keep your favorite paper memories like ticket stubs and receipts of special gifts, etc.

So I made myself a Christmas junk journal and being that I made it too late for this year, I will use it for next Christmas.

Christmas junk journal cover

I made the cover from an old gift back and a Christmas card.

The inside cover is another Christmas card made into a pocket.

The green checkered paper was a paper bag my mother gave me.

I coffee dyed most of the paper to give it the color and crinkly texture.

I added some used envelopes filled with cards and tags.

I added plenty of tuck spots.

This is my favorite page!

I cut one card into three different pieces.  The bottom I glued on to make a front tuck spot, the main part of the card as a pocket and the inside Christmas message tucked in as a journaling card.

I used stickers and bits and pieces from my paper stash.

The back cover is a pocket that I used to put all the left over tags and paper I had.

And that is all the crafting I did this Christmas.  May you all have a merry one.
