Merry and Bright

These are SOME of the pictures from a crazy Christmas house in a neighboring town. I love this Donald Duck sticker and I can imagine the homeowner doing this...lol.

I used sketch #133 from Creative Scrappers. :)

Candy Cane Hunt

Last one for today! I can't believe I actually managed to get some scrapping done today! I'm so excited about being able to do more this weekend!

I did this page for the sketch challenge for Sketchy Thursdays.

I couldn't even begin to give a realistic list of supplies. Everything just came from the stash.

I went through the Christmas box and ended up spending an hour sorting out Christmas stuff from Winter stuff. I realized I have too much of both....is that really possible??

Have a good night! :)

Just when I thought I was done...

I really have a lot of stuff to do today, but I can't seem to tear myself away from my desk!

This week's sketch challenge from Sketches in Thyme was quite different. I had no idea how I wanted to work this one out. I tried and tried and feel that I strayed quite a ways from the original sketch, but they are supposed to be inspiration, right?

I used my son's letter from Santa on the whole page. After it came in the mail, I asked him to sit in front of the tree so I can get some cool pics. Instead of cut circles, I used lots of bling.

The embellishments were mostly found in the dollar section at Michael's. These are actually gift tags that I changed a bit with more bling.

My daughter doesn't get home from school for at least another hour, so I may be able to start on another project....gotta love vacation time!

SOUS - NO sketch???

What do you mean, "no sketch"??!! I"m addicted to sketches! I NEED sketches!! How am I supposed to do a challenge without a sketch??

StuckonUSketches has another fun challenge this time around. All we had to do was use die cut papers from Bo Bunny...but no sketch.

I had a few pieces to choose from so I pulled everything out and spread it all around. So here I was, trying to figure out papers and embellishments and such, with no sketch!

Can you tell I really started relying on sketches??!

Anyway....

I stared at all my Bo Bunny goodness, not having a clue on what I wanted to do. I finally figured out, maybe I should choose some pictures to work with BEFORE I start picking out papers!

The second I ran across this pretty picture of a butterfly, I knew I had the right papers to use.

I still had lots of goodies from Kitchen Spice leftover. I had the perfect die cut paper and lots of leftover paper pieces. I triple matted the photo in Kitchen Spice leftovers. I added a piece of felt leaf border down the right side and then added some Prima flowers. The flowers just happened to be the right colors and also have cute little polka dots on them that matched the papers. A few gems and bling added to the flowers finished up that side.

Another half hour went by before I finally decided on a title. I ran across this title sticker from K&Company that also was the right color and had polka dots too.

I can't believe how lucky I got using the Bo Bunny papers and a really cool mix of things from the stash.

I think I'm getting my mojo back!

Just in time to get back to work...yuck....

Noel

I feel like I haven't scrapped in months! I decided today was the day I was going to accomplish something!

Here is a sketch from Stuck?! I used a couple of doilies that I inked a little bit. The poinsettias are from Michael's. At this time of year, you can get zillions of them dirt cheap! I think I need white ones, so I may run out today....shhh.

The ribbon is from the stash and the title is chipboard letters from Colorbok.

:)

I wish I could say I have my mojo back, but I need to get a few other things done around here before I can sit and scrap all day.

Sassy Lil Santa

Okay, maybe he's not so sassy...but this sketch is! The sketch is from Sassy Lil' Sketches. I've been fighting off the winter blues and haven't been scrapping much lately. I had the papers down, the pictures down...the embellishments were giving me a hard time. So there it sat...on my desk...for a whole week!

I just bought a whole bunch of new Christmas goodies...(shhhh!!!). I ended up using a whole mixture of everything. From Brenda Walton to the dollar spot at Michael's and back to the stash.

Hopefully, I will get my mojo back and keep at this stack of pictures!
