Christmas Where I'm From

Hi there,

I have a layout to share that was supposed to be submitted for a Song/Lyric Challenge... and, well, that "fell through" (sigh) but I still wanted to share it here.

It's titled, "Christmas Where I'm From."

Our Christmas tree in 2010.

Supplies used:

Paper: DCWV

Swirly Bling & Glitter Gems: Home Made

Flowers 

Ribbon

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Clear Sticker

Marker

Sketch: Page Maps

Ribbon was added along the left of the photo and three glitter gems added on it.

Lots of bling was used.  The page title is a clear sticker and I hand wrote "Where I'm From" below it.

Gold gems were used for the flower centers.

Here's a look at more bling! 

The green cardstock was embossed.  All the blocking looked so plain even though some of them were pp.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Outta My Way!

Hi there!

Ahhhhhhh!  It's great to be back home!  Too many days spent "somewhere else" (which wasn't a very pleasant place to spend 12 hours a day), makes this girl a LOT cranky!  And not being able to scrap for 12 days made me cranky too!  I guess I'm a very cranky girl!  I seriously need to scrap!!  :)

I have a few projects to share... that, thankfully, I was able to complete "early."

The first is a layout which was submitted at Turtle Soup for their Monday Sketch (Jan 13).  You can see the challenge here.

The sketch:

This is my layout titled, "Outta My Way!"

This is a pretty simple layout but I like how it focuses on the photo!  I LOVE this photo of our grandson (the smallest boy with the orange and black on).  He was determined to get the soccer ball... and he did!  He's faster than the speed of light!  :)

Supplies used:

Paper: DCWV

Soccer Sticker

Sticker Letters: Basic Grey

Star Buttons

I used three small star buttons above the circle.

Thanks for stopping by!

I was inspired by all the colors from the photo... blue, white, cream, silver and a "crystal" clear color.

Supplies used:

Paper: Webster's Pages, White Cardstock, Colorbok

Snowman Die Cut

Distressing

Clear Glitter Gems: Home Made

Sheer Ribbon

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Don't forget to hop on over to Sketches 4 All and click on the "Forum" tab along the top to see the challenge... and hopefully play along!
