After Christmas Scrapping...

Well the house is clean the tree is down and I got some scrapping done. I got the most amazing box full of the Candy Cane Christmas Collection from Reminisce the other day from winning a challenge on there blog. So I have been playing with that using some Christmas photos. Not quite done with those yet, but I did finish this one for the Reminisce blog challenge for this past week. The challenge was to play with fonts. I used a mixture of rub-ons and stickers from Reminisce. I love rub-ons and these went on like butter. I just couldn't help getting the Girly girl collection by Reminisce from my LSS a few weeks back and it was so inspiring to play with. I just love how the paper has a shimmer to it.

I call this one ABC's and 123's of Cute. Other items on this layout are Tim Holtz Grunge Board, Ranger Stickles and Ribbon from The Embellishment Studio. I plan on using the paper with the hearts for some Valentine cards. I will post some more tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

The wish lists...

are now up on the mantle and I had a great idea for a layout and decided to use Reminisce paper so I can take part in the Reminisce blog challenge. I have just about every collection they have made. I don't know what it is but every time I'm at the LSS and grab a piece of paper it is always Reminisce. Remember how much fun I had with their Halloween line this year. Loads of fun and the Christmas collections sure didn't disappoint either. So the challenge was to do a layout without a photo. Not that easy. Here is what I came up with. Oh and Joshua my 6 year old had to help me decorate the tree. He thinks it's perfect.hehe

Here is a close up of the kids top 5 items on their lists.


I also have a small little toot. I got a great comment on the I am a Scrapaholic blog from Tim Holtz about my Altered Frame and Crackle paint tips and techniques. Lynn the owner of I am a Scrapaholic sent him and e-mail just to make sure it was him and it was. I just thought that was kind of cool that he seen the article and liked it.

Thanks for looking and wish me luck

12 more days...

A mixture of December kits from I am a scrapaholic and The embellishment studio. I used a December sketch from Page Maps. Lots of great sketches. Sorry the scan isn't the greatest. The weather here is dark and wet. Once there is a break in the weather I will be getting a better photo of this outside.

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.
