LWE Flute

We're having another Sketch-A-Thon at Scrap-Friendzy, and this is my layout based on the first sketch that was posted!! I used all Jillibean Soup, and I love the way this turned out! I just love those corrugated letters! This is Emily in her flute section sweatshirt! She looks wonderful!

We're back to the routine tomorrow. Jessica heads back to school. Emily has another whole week off. Hard to believe the holidays are over! I hope you enjoyed it all! Thanks for stopping by!

25 Days Until Christmas - Days 17 - 25

I am finished with my "25 Days Until Christmas" book! I might go back and add little finishing touches on some of the pages because they are VERY simple, but other than that . . . it's DONE! I love this project, and I really like finishing my book up as soon as possible after Christmas! I'm thrilled that I worked on all of these yesterday and got my book finished!

The photographs are not the greatest, because it is VERY gloomy here today, but you get the idea! This is my third December book, and I do enjoy this project! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!! Thanks for stopping by!

White Christmas Cartoon Song

I just LOVE this!! Enjoy!! Merry Christmas!! ♥

The 4 Of Us

Merry Christmas Eve! Here's a fun layout! We LOVE taking these silly self portrait photos of US! This is one of my many favorites! Dave or I do the long arm reach to take the photo! Most of the time, the ones where we're not all in the frame are hysterical! Anyway, I finally used Crate Paper Restoration! I love it! I used a Prima mask four times down the side of the paper. The yellow wood grain is from the inside of my Studio Calico wood veneer letters! Isn't it fabulous!?! I also did some sewing on this layout. You know I love my sewing machine! I really love the way this turned out! It's totally US!

Have a WONDERFUL Holiday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Peace, Love, and JOY! As always, thanks for stopping by!

25 Days Until Christmas - Days 13 - 16

Here are my pages for December 13 - 16 in my "25 Days Until Christmas" book.

I had to show you the flower that I used Glimmer Mist on! I love the way it looks! Sparkly! We already had one Christmas celebration this weekend. It was fun! I hope you had a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Gift Card Holders

I created a couple of fun gift card holders over the weekend. These really just took me a few minutes! I used some awesome Cosmo Cricket double-sided paper, put in a couple of folds, stitched on my machine, added a couple of stamps, some glitter leaves, a flower, and a button! Done! Cute as can be!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We have one Christmas celebration done, and one to go! We had a wonderful time celebrating! Thanks for stopping by!

Random Draw

I'm decluttering my scrappy area. I won't finish until after the holidays, but I'm already coming across stuff I do not want. Do you have little ones that scrap, are artistic, or just love to create? Do you want a box of scrapbooking papers and stuff for them? Leave a comment letting me know that you want the stuff I no longer want. It's not the latest and greatest, but there is still some good stuff! What's the catch? Well, you need to pay the PRIORITY postage. That's it! If you are not already a scrappy friend or if you are not from a message board that I frequent, sorry, but you do not need to leave a comment. This is a random draw for one of my scrappy friends that I already know and love!!

25 Days Until Christmas - Days 9 - 12

Here are December 9 - 12 in my December book. Just simple pages! I used some glitter leaves that I picked up at Michael's. I love using photo collages!

I hope you're having a great day. Thanks for stopping by!
