Sketches In Thyme # 96
while I didn't get all the pages done that I wanted to, I still feel good about what I did get done! This page was inspired by Sketches In Thyme # 96. It's plain and simple - just the way I like it! I cut the paper chevron pattern out on my Cameo while the other is stitched. I love that I was able to use a little bling on this predominantly masculine page for my son!

Sketches In Thyme # 95
finally back to scrapping after the wonderful holiday activities! God is so good! I have a good number of pages to create before 2013 rolls in and here's the first of many to come: I have always enjoyed the sketches over at Sketches In Thyme. What can I say?! I'm a sketch girl at heart! I haven't always been able to play along with the challenges but with Christmas festivities over and having the free time, I fell in love with sketch # 95!

sketch reveal at SEM
yay! it's here! there's a new sketch reveal over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles!
December Sketch Challenge
It's Sketch reveal day here at Scrapping Everyday Miracles, and we have another fabulous one for you to work with this month, byNerrida Mitchell.
** The scrap twist will be to use a punch on your layout.
Border punch, shape punch, you decide**
here's the layout I came up with:
the title is "in search of a cool Christmas tree". the last part is hard to read! I stitched the trees at the bottom, used the Martha Stewart stars punch at the top and the scalloped border is actually small circles punched one at a time! The Santa hat I cut on my Cameo and the sunglasses are a Quickutz die. This was fun! Now head on over to SEM to link up your take on this fun sketch!

Dance!
I have been working on this layout for a bit now...you know...something here, something there. This page is from my son's 8th grade dance last May and him and his girlfriend helped me with it!
No patterned paper here at all! A bit unusual for me! There is miscellaneous bling and flowers and the word "dance" is Thickers from A.C.
I am working on another layout that I will post later 'cos I really wanted to do a page or so everyday this month. I missed yesterday so I will make up for it hopefully today! Blessings my friends! :)

SEM December main challenge
this is over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles:
December's Main Challenge-Joy to the World!
December Challenge #23 : Joy to the World!
Tracey here with December’s Challenge. God wants his children to have joy.The scriptures tell us this over and over. This month’s challenge theme is to scrap where you find joy in this holiday season.
The scrap twist is to include glimmer and/or sparkle on your layout.
Mists, glitter and stickles are some ideas. Make it sparkle for the season!
Psalm 32:11 Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
There are so many ways to experience God’s joy in this holiday season! I confess that I love everything Christmas! I find beauty in the carols, magic in the lights and peace in the falling snow. Every year my kids and I make cocoa and put on our jammies to drive around and admire the houses all lit up so beautifully! I am so thankful to my God for the blessings of family, friends and children. The highlight of my Christmas is the Christmas Eve service at my church. It’s a time to reflect on the birth of my savior and refocus on the reason for the season.
So what brings you joy? Is it special traditions? Decorating the tree? Baking cookies with the kids? Time spent with family and friends? We can’t wait to see!
Being the month of blessings and generosity..this month we have 2 benevolant sponsors! So, there will be a prize for this Main challenge and a different prize for the upcoming Sketch challenge !

O Christmas Tree!
last night we went to Ted Drewe's to get our Christmas tree and wreath! I love walking through the aisles of freshly cut trees just waiting to be purchased and turned into Christmas trees! We looked at quite a few trees until we found one we all liked and then we went looking for the wreath for the front door. Of course when that was all said and done...we each just had to have a Ted Drewe's custard! What a fun time!
