Merry Merry Christmas

I love that my family all gets together and has lots of fun on the holidays.

I put this page together using scraps, a bunch of gift tags I found at Hobby Lobby and GIANT buttons I found at Michael's.

I love using buttons and these were calling me because they were perfect for Christmas pages.

How could I resist??

I'm using this page for the Anything Goes challenge from Challenge Yourself.

It's very rare to find myself in a few pictures so I had to make sure to make the best of it.

And I will be making a point of making sure I am in more pictures this year!

Our Christmas Pet

 So happy that my pictures FINALLY came in!!  I haven't printed Christmas pictures in a while.

Here are some pics of when we surprised the kids with a pet tortoise on Christmas Eve a few years ago.

I am using this for the Anything Goes challenge at Lasting Memories this week.

My tree was put together with green doilies I found.

I added Stickles for garland, Mickey confetti, and sequins for ornaments.

My star was hand cut and Stickled.

And then I used a bunch of foam stickers of gifts.

BEST PET EVER!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

No Peeking!!

 Good morning!  It's a cold, miserable, rainy day - perfect for staying in and scrapping all day.

I saw this sketch by Allison Davis which required a large circle.  I looked through all of my scraps and could find anything I needed that was already cut - of course.

While searching I found this beautiful handmade fiber paper.

I have no idea how long it has been in the folder!

I had to handcut the circle.  My cutter kept catching the fibers and tearing. It took a while to do.

I then went through the jar of trims and found this perfect trim.

Thanks to Hobby Lobby, I had these beautiful flowers to add.

And lastly, thanks to Michael's sticker clearance, I had the gift stickers.

I did this page with challenge # 527 from Lasting Memories in mind.

The challenge was to use a item that starts with each letter of the word LIGHTS.

Here is my list:

L - layers

I - ink

G - gifts

H - Holiday theme

T - trim

S - stickers

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

 I woke up to SNOW this morning!!   And it was coming down quickly with GIANT snowflakes!!  I am so not ready for this!!  UGH!!!

I'm ready to hibernate, so I may have to run to the store to make sure I have everything I need....to scrap for months, in case we get snowed in...lol.  

It actually barely covered the grass, but still!!  I'm not ready for it yet!!

I put this page together using a lot of bits and pieces from the supply basket:

Carta Bella goodies, plaid ribbon, a tag, metal accent piece, flowers, Nuvo drops...a bit of everything.

Here is the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy that inspired my page:

Now I have to make sure I can find my shovel!

Merry & Bright

 I am running out of Christmas pictures!!  I have a huge order that is expected to be delivered by the 11th. I have pulled out all of my Christmas scrapping goodies and I NEED my pictures!!

Here is a page I did using a sketch from Sketch N Scrap # 214:

The green background paper was actually in the scrap drawer. 

The smaller circle die cut is from Little Yellow Bicycle - obviously has been around for a while.

I added many bits and pieces to try and dress up my page.

The cut outs of the reindeer and tree are a set I bought from a FB group.

And the banner piece is from a patterned sheet from Carta Bella.

Here is the original sketch from Sketch N Scrap #214:

Happy Holidays

 I Love finding random photos on my phone.  My daughter LOVES taking my camera around the room and snapping candids.

These pics of my daughter, sister and Mom are the greatest!  

I played along with the Tic Tac Toe board from Stacy this month:

I went down the left side:

Tag

Chipboard

Enamel Dots

I got started using this sketch from Rochelle:

So glad to find most of these goodies on clearance at Hobby Lobby!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Dear Santa....

 This has certainly been a trying year for everyone.  But on the good side, with so many things being cancelled, there were much less opportunities to get into trouble...lol.

So there is nothing wrong with asking Santa for a second chance:

I have sooo much Christmas scrapping stuff, it will take me the next 20 years to get through it all!

I pulled together a few things for challenge # 526 from Lasting Memories.

We were given a list and had to pick 3 things from the list.

I chose a few extra:

Gold

Green

Washi

Tag

Circle

I sure hope the rest of my pictures get delivered soon!
