It's a Heidi Holiday! | Lightbox Insert Printables
With Christmas a mere 8 days away, I've started the final sprint to get everything done.
Last minute decorating, gift-wrapping, memory-album creating, baking, cooking & not-enough-sleeping.
And I love every minute of it.
One of my favorite parts of Christmas documenting this year is all of the free printables Heidi Swapp is offering as part of her Heidi Swapp Holiday Event.
Last week Heidi gave away a whole mess of Lightbox printables - perfect for both the original Lightbox and the Lightbox Mini!
Here's how I'm using them this season...
This darling "Days Until Christmas" printable comes ready for both Lightbox sizes.
NOTE: Numbers are not provided on this printable. Use your own Lightbox numbers (or create your own!) to help you count down the days.
I printed out the Lightbox Mini size onto a sheet of transparency film and then grabbed some Lightbox numbers...
This darling little countdown stays on our breakfast table, ready to be updated each morning.
ACK! It's so so darling!
The next design, also available in both original & mini Lightbox sizes is this one...
I decided I wanted to use this graphic in my Christmas Countdown album, the fantastic Photobook Kit (available at select Joann stores & on joann.com)...but first I needed to edit it just a bit.
Using my photo editing software (I use Photoshop CC), I erased the cut guidelines from the original graphic & moved the individual sections closer to each other to create one single image.
Then I printed out my finished graphic onto cardstock (4.5"x6.5"), matted it onto some of my favorite Buffalo Check paper from DCWV's Farmhouse Christmas Paper Stack (5"x7"), and then adhered that onto another piece of paper from the same stack (10"x7").
I folded the 10"x7" piece in half and added it to my album in the same way you add additional photos into a traveler's notebook...with a large rubber band.
Now I can add more photos/stories/embellishments to the inside of this new folded insert.
So, not only do I have this fun "Deck the Halls" graphic in my album, now I have added pages, too!
Don't you just love it?!
Next up is this fun image created for the original Lightbox.
I thought this adorable sentiment would look fantastic on gift tags, so I manipulated it a little in PS, printed it out and matted it onto some more awesome plaid paper from the Farmhouse Christmas Stack.
I love how textured and traditionally Christmassy it looks!
And Heidi's final design is this lovely "Jingle All the Way" - also designed for the original size Lightbox.
I'm still working on incorporating this design into our decor...I'm thinking maybe a wall print?
Or, who knows...maybe I'll use it exactly how Heidi intended and add it to my Lightbox...

Merry Christmas!

Back to School
Ugh.
I can't believe it's already almost here.
The end of summer.
...and the Heidi Swapp Lightbox...
So I guess there's that...(smile...).
Pick up your Lightbox, and those fantastic Lightbox Alphabet Inserts at your local Michaels, and on michaels.com now.

As my kids get older, and more fun to be with, I dread the end of summer...it just comes way too quickly.
I do, however, LOVE me some new school supplies...

summer bbq | Lightbox
Happy summer weekend!
Any big plans?
Over the next week or so, we'll be hosting a few get-togethers at our house...and I can't wait!
Tomorrow night is a BBQ...
I love adding a little Heidi Swapp Lightbox to our table displays...no matter the occasion.
They are so easy to set-up - just slide the letters in! - and they make such a big impact!
You can find this Lightbox & the alpha inserts at a Michaels store near you...or online at michaels.com.
And don't forget the napkins & wipes!
Have a great weekend...

Happy Father's Day! | HS Lightbox/Letterboard
And Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there!
Unfortunately, my husband has to work all day today...so the kids and I prepared a little surprise dinner for him for when he gets home...
We got the patio all ready...complete with both the Heidi Swapp Letterboard & Lightbox.
I really love these added pieces...especially this one from the kids.
And, because both the Lightbox and the Letterboard are COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE, you can use them for any occasion imaginable.
Just change out your letters/icons/emojis and done!
We like to keep things pretty simple around here...so I added just a few inserts to my Lightbox.
I love the clean, crisp look.
And as the sun goes down, all I have to do is flip the switch on the box to give our little party that extra touch of awesome.
I'm excited for Doug to get home tonight to see his little backyard celebration!
And I'm super excited for those steaks I'll be throwing on the grill...
And Happy Father's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! | HS Lightboard
Happy Mother's Day!
I have a confession to make.
I didn't buy my Mom a gift for Mother's Day.
Ugh.
I'm the worst.
BUT, I wanted to give her something a little special...so I quick set up this little Lightbox display for her.
I used one of Heidi's Lightbox Accessory Kits - Beach - to add a background to my Mint Lightbox...and then I added the kit's enclosed letters to spell out my sentiment.
I grabbed some 3D Minc flowers that I made earlier in the week (originally for a summertime banner, but they work so nicely here, too!) and used foam dots to add them to my Lightboxes.
Next, I added a little piece of washi tape from the Fresh Start collection to my Lightbox Stand.
And one more little flower completes the set-up!
I kind of love how this turned out. I really think the flowers dress up the lightboxes so nicely!
And I think my Mom will love it.
How are you celebrating your Mother's Day?
We're headed out to a local fried chicken restaurant with some friends and I CAN'T WAIT!
I sure hope you have a wonderful day!
