The Magic of December and Free December Reading Journal Printables

-

 I apologise that I was late getting these printables up. Hopefully, you will still be able to use them in your reading journal. The images all came from Creative Fabrica, and I played with them a bit to create the garlands and such. I hope you enjoy them.






You will notice that some of my regular headings are not included. I have decided to take the realistic approach and pared down my reading activities in order to make time for baking cookies with my son and a little Christmas Karaoke. 

My TBR is going to be filled with holiday titles that will include some ARC copies and some Kindle Unlimited titles. I am hoping to get into that cozy Christmas vibe. What are you planning for December? Leave your answers in the comments below.

Note from Tracy: This post is a beloved part of my crafty archives! While FabScraps has sadly closed its doors, I’ve kept this post live to celebrate the incredible artistry of the design team and to keep these Artist Trading Coin (ATC) ideas available for your inspiration. the entire sheet. You can use a 2.5-inch hole punch or a die (like I did). As many of you remember, we’ve tackled many paper challenges together—from inchies and moos to the classic Artist Trading Card. But the ATC (Artist Trading Coin) remains one of my favorite formats for stretching creativity in a small space! WARNING: Making these 2.5-inch mini masterpieces is highly addictive! To create these coins, I used a cover-weight cardstock base and colored them with Distress Oxides , finishing with archival black ink stamps. Using vintage-inspired papers and a 2-inch circle die, I layered the designs, adding faux stitching with a brown fine-tip marker and a few adhesive gems for sparkle. A small...

Making Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps Easier with Cricut Cut Files (No More Fussy Cutting!) Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen. And let me confess something: that diminished my joy a bit. I wanted everyone to love them as much...
