Christmas Card Supply Haul

Alright, so my birthday was on November 5th (V for Vendetta). We were going to go to the city for a Michael's / Ikea trip, but the roads were terrible and we couldn't go. To make up for it, Jon and I did some shopping in town instead. We bought a bunch of things for the house (which I'll share later), and I bought some much needed scrapbooking supplies.

I went to a local scrapbook/photography shop and bought practically everything Christmas they had.


I bought this Bazzil Basics Paper stack. I loved the variety of patterns and colours. 


I bought two of these Bo Bunny Christmas paper collections. They're beautiful!


This is silver metalic paper. It's super reflective so I placed a piece on top to only show a sliver of its metallic surface. I have a few sheets of gold as well that I bought last year. 


I bought one sheet (might go pick up more) of this beautiful red green and cream striped paper. 


This photo doesn't do this paper justice, the vines are metallic gold and they're beautiful. I bought four sheets of this to do my in-laws Christmas cards.


I also added some more little inks to my collection. I almost need to make a list of what I have so I don't buy duplicates! I'll share my little ink collection later.


I also bought a bunch of Christmas Stamps. As if I don't already have a crazy amount of stamps, I bought almost every Christmas stamp set they had. 


I love the Happy Holidays stamp, and the ornaments. So pretty on a corner of a card or gift tag.


I love the deer and the wreath on this one. I also love the little tree, so cute.


I bought these so that when I finally got around to starting my Project Life, I had stamps to use when Jon and I were doing things outside, or if I had photos of the weather. I also simply loved the skates and the sleigh.


The wreath on this one! It's absolutely perfect for my in-law's Christmas cards. It adds exactly the right touch. I also loved the vines in this set.


I love the variety of stars and the two trees. The one thing I love about Christmas is trees! Unfortunately we can't afford a tree this year, so we're using the tree I had in college (I'll share when we make space and put it up).


I bought this one mostly for the sentiments, but the holly stamp is growing on me.


This one has cute to and from stamps. I also loved the cupcake. 


This was one of the first ones I picked up. I love the snowflake and the tree which has the snowflake pattern on it. So pretty! I was mostly looking for different sentiment stamps for the front of my own cards.

My favourite holiday is probably Christmas. I love buying things for my family, though this year will be on a tight budget since we just moved and everything. Maybe next year we can buy a bunch of decorations and host Christmas here with the family!

Have a wonderful day!
