Girl Power

I went to donate blood after work today. So I got home later than usual. I still haven't finished decorating our tree. It's up and we got the boxes of ornaments and other Christmas stuff out though. I normally don't wrap the gifts until the tree is up. I think I'm done shopping, but I know there is always a last minute shopping to do. I want to scrap a few more pages by the end of this week..... I need more than 24 hours a day for sure!! Here is the page I made last night. This week's and their last (so sad.....) challenge over at Scrapping Out Loud is to use the colors of the rainbow. This paper from Cosmo Cricket has the most of the colors I needed I immediately decided on using it. I also used a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I will add some more journaling later.

Here is a page I made for the current challenge over at My Mind's Eye. It is to use a sketch provided and also to add handmade flowers. I chose this fall photo of my dd. So I picked brown and red papers from Out and About collection. I thought of making daisy-like flowers first but because I chose this fall photo, I decided to make these circle flowers. I cut out lots of circles in different sizes out of 3 different MME papers. Then I sprayed glimmer mists, cramped them, dried them and stacked them. And lastly used brads to hold the circles. For "charming" tag, I placed MME rub-on on a white cardstock and backed with red cardstock. It was fun making these flowers.

Great to be 15

I really enjoyed creating with this week's sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. I used the supplies from Scrapbook Kit Club that I won a few sketches ago. Although I have made a couple of Christmas themed pages, I thought I could use them on a non-Christmas page as well.

Style

I just finished this page. I've been wanting to participate Scrapping Out Loud's challenge but had no clue what to do with. It's ribbon weaving. I understood the concept but couldn't come up with any idea how I could incorporate it with a layout. Anyway, I thought maybe this photo of my dd with the brick wall background would go with weaving.

Joy & Christmas Memories

It's raining out here and it's a good time to catch up with my layout posting. These pages here are the ones I made during this week. The first one was done based on a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks which, by the way, is closing at the end of this month.... so sad...**sigh** I received a great December kit from Scrapbook Kit Club earlier in the week and when I saw those pretty Christmas goodies, I had to use them right away! It was my prize from Sketchy Thursdays. My second page is of old Christmas photos. I used Pink Paislee's overlay that had a frame design. This is my first time using 12x12 overlay. I placed a white cardstock under the photos. Other papers, flowers, rub-ons, etc are all on top of the overlay.

I am posting a layout I made Sunday. I used a sketch from So Sketchy. When I first saw the sketch, it looked hard, but I love how my page turned out. These 2 pictures had already been cut into an odd shape, so I cut her out them.

Before I forget, it snowed last Friday!! Although it snowed last year, it is very rare that it does here.

Ready to Dance

I had a day off today. I got my driver license renewed and some Christmas shopping done :) This layout here is what I finished last night. It was created based on a sketch from 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I didn't get to scrap today but hope I will some tomorrow.
