The first page I completed was for the Colorful Creations Say It With Words challenge. The word for this month is BLESSED. The photos are from the Christmas Eve Worship Service at Kingswood United Methodist - my Delaware church. I have been so very blessed by so many people there in so many ways over this past year. I am also submitting this to My Scraps and More OLW Crop using my own word - BLESSED.
My next page were more photos from worship - the choir and the children. I did this for the My Scraps and More OLW Crop using the word Peace. I used the scripture Luke 2:10 in which the angels announced the birth of Christ to the shephards. In the photo of the children you will see that they are dressed as shephards and angels. I am submitting this also to Word Art Wednesday who is having an Anything Goes challenge this week.
My third creation was for the Colorful Creations Inspired By challenge. The inspiration photo this month was a photo of food so I opted to do the photos from our Christmas Eve Dinner at The Olive Garden. For this layout I used a transparency, lots of shiny embellishments and rhinestones. The title of the page says Tis the Season for love and joy. I am also submitting this layout to Use It Tuesday for their Make It Sparkle challenge. The patterned paper has been in my stash for quite awhile as has the transparency and the rhinestones.
My next page was for the Colorful Creations Guest Designer Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch I had to work with:
and here is my page using a photo of my tiny Christmas Tree which we used again this year as I wasn't up to getting our big tree and all the decorations from storage. I was so happy to get to use 3 little metal trees that have been in my stash for years!
My final creation of the day used photos of my son Thomas playing Joseph in the church Christmas Pageant. I loved getting to use this wonderful diecut sheet by K&Company. I also got to use some wonderfully sparkly holly leaves and 10 buttons. This page is being submitted for Kaboodledoodles Challenge #154 Buttons!
I hope that you have enjoyed viewing my days work! Now that I have shared this I am going to get myself ready for bed. Sweet dreams to you all!
Great job Paula! I haven't gone to a crop in a lot longer than a year! I went mostly Digital and while I am sure I can still GO... it's just not the same! I do miss some of the hands on projects though! You may have just made me need glue! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely Pages - papers - and I know it's a good feeling of accomplishment to have them completed! ;-}

ReplyDeleteWow Paula, looks like you had a great productive time at the crop. I usually don't get much done at crops, I spend too much time socializing LOL. Your layouts are beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing them with us at Word Art Wednesday. I love to see scrapbook pages linked to our challenge. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are great! I have never been to a crop before but I can imagine they are a lot of fun. How wonderful to enjoy time socializing and preserving such precious memories.
