A BIT MORE OF CHRISTMAS!

Today I am sharing another Christmas layout with you using Soul Scrappers Sketch challenge SC87. I have decided that I want to get as much of this Christmas scrapped as possible since I have not done all of the last several Christmas'.

Here is the sketch:

 

I love being able to share all the little accents I've

added to my page...

 

Here is a large brad that actually has tiny little stones

as lights on the tree. 

This was the title that was already printed on the page

that was just perfect for the photo I chose.

Here's a tag with some great cording I used through the hole.

  I wanted to loop it but it is thick and stiff and it ripped

 through the tag.  I had put an eyelet in the hole

but it pulled it right through!

 

I thought this little chipboard accent was perfect as the photo was taken on Christmas Eve.  When I put it on the printed paper it got lost and I wanted you to be able to read it so matting it on white helped with that but then it got lost on the paper so I matted it on the same cardstock I had used for the backing of the page.

And finally!  The finished project!

I was not very happy with the way the photo shop printed the photo as it was a bit grainy even in this standard 4x6 size so I am hoping that I can get a better quality reprint at a different shop soon and replace it!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you will take this time to stop by Soul Scrappers and have a shot at the sketch too or at another of the many fun challenges we offer!

BACK AGAIN WITH MORE FROM THE CIVIL WAR DAYS!

Today I have another layout to share from our visit to Rupp House Historical Museum in Gettysburg, PA when we were there for the 140th Reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg back in 2003.

I used sketch #381 from Scrapbook Challenges which I somehow mistakenly thought was the current sketch...which it is not.  :(

 

I turned the sketch upside down to accommodate my photos.

 

I am also entering this in Lasting Memories challenge #224 - Captured Memories, and Soul Scrappers Movie Marathon MM8 Thelma & Louise. 

 

 

For this challenge you needed to create a layout or card with this
criteria:

*   the colors blue and white must be predominant; and
*   I want you to use brads

And here is my layout:

and a close up of my brads -

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I hope that you have enjoyed my latest creation.  I will have some special things to share on February 1 also so please keep coming back!

 

ANOTHER MERRY BERRY MELODY

Tonite I used 4 different patterned papers and 3 brads for the Incy Wincy challenge and the sketch from the May card challenge over at Scrapbook.com.

Here's the sketch:

I just love the colors in this SEI Berry Melody collection so I ended up creating another Christmas card.

I am also entering this in Party Time Tuesday challenge #171 Polka Dots.

I was hoping to get another card done before bed but as it is now after 2am I think I had best be getting to sleep.  Tomorrow is another day. 

Thanks for stopping by and Sweet Dreams!
