All the Days of Christmas

Before American commercialization got their hands on the Twelve Days of Christmas, it was a 12-day countdown from Christmas Day to Epiphany, or Three Kings Day. So the first day of Christmas, most remarkably, is Christmas Day!

At NutHouse-Scraps, we're going to honor those roots and have a huge 12 day sale with something different on sale each day - and something new each day for free, too.

I made a digital stamp for your Christmas pages for each of the days of Christmas - there will be one you can get for free each day! You can collect them all for free, as pictured above.

All The Days of Christmas stamps will mix and match with the Christmas Past Mega Collection and Christmas Past Glitter Me This digi-glitter.

The first free stamp will be Dec 25th! Don't miss it! Look for the same image of the 12 Days of Christmas in the shop at NutHouse-Scraps.com, which is pictured above, and click on it for your daily free stamp from the 12 Days of Christmas collection!

Did I already mention ... there might be a nice coupon in the stamps? Thanks to our shop owner for that!

Page from Christmas Past

I want to share with you a terrific Christmas Traditions page which Renee Schlough made with my Christmas Past kit.

Look how she layered the pages on top of each other, and used the extra 'detail' shots from the 'during construction' steps to support the finished gingerbread house and proud smile photo. The photos of hands at work in those small details shots are part of the charm of this simple, endearing, and wonderful page of Christmas Traditions.

Thanks, Renee!

Christmas Past

I've been so busy with Christmas and a new project for a give-a-way (it starts tomorrow, come back then!) that I forgot to post about my Christmas Past Kit.

I had so much fun making this kit - from the glorious damask papers to the glittery candy cane frame, it will make your festive memories from this year or last century a snap for your scrapbook treasure!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Our Christmas with the family starts with the Christmas Eve program that our grandson is in this evening and goes through Saturday evening where it culminates with a celebration with our extended family.

Thankful Mini Kit - just in time for this holiday weekend.

This is a personal use kit from the October "Thankful" Blog Train. I wanted to give the kit one last chance here for everyone to enjoy!

Wow, check out this lay out!

Look what Heather did with a Halloween candid and my Wild Things kit! I think it is totally brilliant! She's one of my wonderful and talented Creative Team members.

Here's the larger image of the layout in the gallery.

I totally adore how she used the dark round frame in the back as just another layered element, like a collage.

Leave her some love in a comment and tell her what you liked about it.

Fa La La La LA.... la la la la!

Once our little grandson (he's 18 months old) started singing Fa La La La La, I decided I was TOTALLY justified in puting the Christmas music on while I was preparing a new digital scrapbooking kit. I've been studying Damask history and it's use in design ... which may show just a litte bit in my work! :)

This is a first peek at an unfinished kit for my little digital scrapbooking shop at NutHouse-Scraps.com. I can't tell you the name of the kit yet, but if it makes you feel a little vintage and merry, I won't be surprised!

Glitter, Damasks ... oooh, life is SO good!

Stay tuned for more Digiscrapping with Debbers!

2 Commercial Use For Christmas - 1 is FREE!

One of my pet peeves this time of year are Candy Cane elements in scrapbook kits that have straight lines on them instead of curving and wrapping stripes around them like real candy canes. So I've put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, with a double SWEET Treat this week!

First, a perfectly curving striped candy cane frame that is as easy as can be with my new Photoshop Action. It's OK for commercial use, too.

It's SUCH a fun element! Use one of your own favorite stripes patterns, or use one of the 4 or 5 red and white candy stripes in the free Photoshop .pat file I've included with the action. I've left the layers intact for you at the end of the action so that you can adjust the shading to taste.

It's been tested in PS7, Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 - as well as PSE5.

But wait, there's more CURVING candy canes this week, too - a FREE Candy Cane Element Template. Don't settle for a straight-lined candy cane ... use this free template! It's in layers in both PNG files and a PSD file so it will work in any program and let you perfectly coordinate it for matching colors and styles.

It's free and OK for commercial use, too.

Enjoy!
