Scrap Friends Color Challenge #20 - "Be Merry"

Hi everyone!

Well Scrap Friends' final Color Challenge for 2013 is here! It's a beautiful mix of traditional and modern colors don't you think?

For whatever reason, I don't often make Christmas layouts but I was totally inspired to do so with these colors (though of course your project doesn't have to be!)....

And pages do have a way of taking on a life of their own don't they? I made this background with the KG Christmas Trees font and cut it out on my new Cameo (YEAH!) to use as a stencil but it decided it preferred to take center stage ;)

So whether you are in sun or snow, I hope this holiday season is treating you and your family well. And I do hope you find some time to play along with this Color Challenge!

Scrap Friends Sketch Challenge - "One Fine Day"

Hi everyone!

For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a joyous one! We have traditionally gotten together with our family and next door neighbors to celebrate and this year was no different....lot's of food, family, and friends! For all that I am very thankful.

So Scrap Friends has their new Sketch Challenge # 20 up. It's the last sketch challenge for 2013...oh my! I hope you all get a chance to join in!

This is such a cool sketch so I stayed pretty close to it...I was also inspired to keep the photos circular as I've never done that before. I hope you like it!

Here's a few close ups....

I thought the UWS chipboard Heart Strings and Wild Flower flair added just the right unique elements to jazz up my page. 

That's all for now....I hope you do join Scrap Friends and play along with this sketch!
