Santa!

Okay, last holiday post for at least 10 months ;) LOL! I'm ready to undecorate my house today and move on to other wintry fun! But.... I did want to share this layout I made in December that I didn't get a chance to post on my blog until now.

I used Basic Grey's Jovial for this one - love these papers! :)

Hope 2011 brings all you wish for as well !!

PTT Birthday card ;)

The challenge at Party Time Tuesday's this week was to use red, green, and white. I have a little bit of black too, hope that's okay ;)  I used paper weaving on this card as part of a challenge at SnC. I like how it turned out (well, after I figured it out hehe).

I spent most of the day cleaning off/out my scraproom to make way for my new goodies! Can't wait to create this week while I'm off school. Hope everyone had a great holiday! :)

3 in 1 card :)

I made another card tonight for 3 challenges - I used the the color challenge at SnC (brown, beige, green), the sentiment challenge at The Studio (thanks), and the sketch challenge at Card Positioning Systems:

Here's my take:

I used all cardstock scraps in my stash (yah!). The beige cardstock is embossed with the Victorian Lace cuttlebug folder and inked in brown. Simple, but I like it! And I always need thank you cards this time of year ;)

A holiday photo :)

I'm loving the challenge that The Studio posted on Sunday - just share a photo you've taken this year that puts you in the holiday spirit!

My hubby and I went to a lighted park on Saturday - just beautiful!

Of course, Santa was there! I thought I would take matters into my own hands and ask him myself, for what I really want this year. He said he'll try to work his Christmas magic - it can't hurt right? I can't wait to make a layout of this photo...

While I was uploading these pics - I was on the phone with my friend Michelle. And she was telling me about a website she used to edit her Christmas card pics. I checked it out ~ and oh my, I think she's created a monster.

Love the different effects!!

Which one would you scrapbook? Original or edited?

A Birthday Card Sketch

I loved the sketch that Dianna posted at Party Time Tuesdays!

They are a birthday card challenge blog ;) I finally used my new-to-me notebook punch from EK Success and I love it! Cuts so smooth. The birthday sentiment is from Fancy Pants (I added the 'birth' to qualify for the challenge) and then cardstock from my scraps.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're having a great week :)

Waiting for Santa "Paws"

The last challenge for 2010 is up at The Paper Variety! We have a photo inspiration for you, that is sure to make you say "awww".

It's tradition every year that he gets his picture taken under the tree - last year it was the reindeer ears (remember that?)

I knew I had to get a picture of Jax in a Santa hat this year!

Lucky for me, I have a very determined husband that helped make it happen :)

I knew I wanted to make a special layout with this photo, so I decided to use this neat sketch by The Scrappiest!

I used my favorite Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas collection. I cut the ornament mat on my cricut!
