Here's a close up of the faux dry embossing. You stamp the image with White Daisy and then your other color, slightly offset. I think my offset was a little more than slightly, but it's still a nice effect.

Tehachapi Club Card - Key to my Heart
Here is the card for my Tehachapi club. It's Originals, Lucky Three and while there was some inspiration from Nancy Brown on the faux dry embossing, the rest is mine. Can you believe that I actually came up with something on my own??? My husband couldn't, the stinker. I'm not sure that I like the striped paper under the sentiment but it was late last night and I didn't want to change it. I used the January Constant Campaign promotion, Key to my Heart. The Tulip circle in the middle of the "flower" is covered with liquid glass for some dimension. The flower is actually 6 of the heart stamps that I cut out and arranged to look like a flower. It's also pop dotted for some depth.

Project 365 page 1
Now that things are semi back to normal, my husband is finally done with his vacation and at work today, I can post my Project 365 page. Since my original post about doing this, I decided to change the first page. The Gods were with me on this and Jan 1 was on a Thurs, so 3 pictures, 1 title block and 2 journaling were perfect for 1 pocket page. The right side of my journal area is still blank because I wanted to write a little something about what I'm doing and why and I haven't quite figured out what I want to say. Remember this is going to be my husband's Christmas gift. Here is the first page of my book. Sorry about the glare but taking the stuff out of the page protector kinda defeats the purpose of showing you what I'm doing, right?
A little about the pictures. Here's what my journaling says.
A little about the pictures. Here's what my journaling says.1. The Auto Show was in San Diego and we went on Jan 1st. It was such fun seeing the boys and Martel in all the cars.
2. Leo got a kid’s camera for Christmas and he went around taking pictures of everyone and everything (and nothing). It was so cute to see him take after mommy and take so many pictures. Jan 2, 2009

3. We came home from San Diego to some wicked fog. Just another day in the life of a Stallion Springs resident! Jan 3, 2009
After printing my journaling, I saw there was a lot of "white space" on my paper, so I just did a little random stamping to give it a little bit of umph.
If you have your first page completed and posted, let me know and I'll link you.

More Christmas layouts
These two layouts are from A Page 4 All Seasons, part of the Amber's Possibilities auto ship. I don't subscribe to that one, but if you're an auto ship member, you can get any of the other auto ship layouts. When I saw these 2 layouts, I knew that I had to have them!
Since we didn't go see family for Christmas this year, our friends, Kim and Jon, invited us to their house for Christmas dinner. Kim bought some Christmas poppers that had these paper crowns and little toys in them. We had so much fun with the crowns, just being goofy. Jon's parents were there too and my boys love them, they're like surrogate grandparents, since their's live 4 hours away.
This is the second layout from the auto ship. We had a lot of fun trying to get the group shot. It was such a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, we had to cut it short because the weather took a nasty turn and we needed to get home while we still could.

My Acrylic Album - with pictures
For those of you interested, here's the My Acrylic Album with pictures. These were for my mom and mother in law for Christmas. They both have the address to my blog but don't come looking, but I didn't want to take a chance and spoil their surprise.
OK, it's not letting me add more pictures, so check back tomorrow!
