'tis the season

 I have Christmas scraps all over my corner!  I put them to good use making this page:


Scraps and doilies to create layers for my pictures.
I used my texture paste for the first time!
I used a stencil and made snowflakes on my background.
I then added some white brads to the centers.

I stuck with this color palette for the challenge from White with 1:


I miss parties this like!

WISH

 We recently celebrated my niece's 6th birthday!  


This was really fun to work with.
I was able to find a few cute things in the stash.
I used my coluzzle cutting system to make my circles with some scraps.
I pulled out the misting sprays for the background paper.
I then outlined them with gold Stickles.
While looking for birthday goodies,  I found these fun little shaker balloons.
A few random flowers and some fun metal star clips added more dimension.
I found this cute little unicorn idea on one of Jana's pages.

Here is the sketch from Stick it Down Sketches that inspired me:

I am an Original

 This was a fun page to put together.  I was surprised and how fast it came to mind.

First I was inspired by today's mood board from Cookin' Up Creations:


These colors are so pretty!  This brought to mind the Zodiac Stack from DCWV.


I was originally going to use flowers to work with this sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

 
But once I saw all of these zodiac cards from the stack, I thought I would put them to use.



I then added a LOT Stickles around EVERYTHING....lol.
The alphas are a mix from the stash.
While looking for stars, I found these fun holographic stickers - perfect for a zodiac page.

SO happy with how this all came together.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Holiday Cheer

 I'm determined to get a page done every night before bed.  So far, so good!



I used this sketch from Sketch N Scrap's Facebook challenge group:


To play along with the Winter / Snow / Christmas challenge from Use Your Stuff.
I added some stamps (Fa La La and the little poinsettias).  I added some Nuvo Drops to the centers of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!!

JINGLE

 This doesn't happen very often, but I just got a box of Simple Stories Say Cheese Christmas goodies today.....and used it immediately!! 

Usually I have to savor the stuff for a while.  Look at it for a few days and take my time deciding the best way to use it.  

But this was just too fun to put away!

I used these goodies for this Monday's challenge at Cookin' Up Creations:


Today's challenge was to use this moodboard:

.

With this sketch as an option.
I never pass up a great sketch!


And I am still having a lot of fun using up some Nuvo Drops.

Use Your Stuff has a new challenge this week to use Snow / Winter / Christmas theme.
Since I haven't been able to get snow pictures for a years, I opted to stick with my Christmas projects.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Christmas

 Last page for tonight:


I broke out the misting sprays (had to clean the nozzles, it's been so long...lol)
And my coluzzle cutting system.

I added stickers but put them on pop dots for a bit of dimension.
I found these holly stickers with the swirls on clearance and Michael's.
I stocked up on them.

Here is the sketch I used from Sketches in Thyme #447:


Good night!

Thanks for stopping by!!



A Very Merry Christmas

 Finally got a chance to work with the challenge at Creative Embellishments:



I've had this cute little title Christmas Tree for a while.
Now that I have a stash of Nuvo Drops, I was inspired to decorate.
And I had to add more of the little gift stickers too.

Here is the photo inspiration for this month's challenge:
