Its such a busy but happy, festive time of year.

 

 

 

Skissedilla Sketch# 188

I saw the grid work as a pathway for Christmas to our door.... a bit of fun

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

Get Creative has a fabulous Bingo LO game to play...

 

 

I've used thee column down on the right - glitter, doilies and stitching.

MORE fun!  I love all three of those!

 

 

 

 

 



Naughty or Nice LO for Scrap Therapy.....

 

 

I love the face that Meaghan pulls here - its such a mischievous/cheeky one, so its easy to create a bit of a scene here  

The background is a mixture of three MME chevron papers with some of their zig-zaggy stripes cut out and arranged over the top of/ or next to each other when laid out on Kraft Cardstock. It really creates a fabulous background! (I did swipe over the Kraft cardstock with white gesso first}


The papers I used were My Mind's Eye 'All is Bright'
Chevron Paper
Linen Paper
Christmas Tag Paper



Other products used were:
Fancy Pants Saint Nick Card Embellishments
Fancy Pants Saint Nick Buttons
Tim Holtz Trimmings (rosettes, and misted bow seam binding)
Prima Camille En Francais Flowers

Look at this wonderful prize that arrived all the way from Greece which I was one of the winners of Octobers card challenges

Its just fabulous ..... firstly because it was packaged so adorably and secondly because its contents are sooooo scrappable!!  They are from Irini's Etsy- GetCreativeEmbellish 



The white ones can be misted which is fabulous!

 

 

Also I was lucky enough to be a winner of November's LO challenge

with this

and two of my cards got faves too!

Very big smile!!!

Skissedilla #187 and Day 9 of December Daily!

 

 

Skissedilla Challenge #187



I put the little boxes from the rectangle shapes on the outside, and tried to interpret the length of the long rectangle from what I could see. Added some spots and dots, Sequins and flowers, even some tape.

December Daily - 9th

Family reunions are a great place to get photos! 

I've made this page from fabric and added a felt tree then used the sewing machine to sew branches in red.



 

 

I sewed two pieces of fabric together and added some cardstock in the middle.

December Daily - pages 6th, 7th & 8th

 

 

Here's my next three pages.


6th
Paiges 16th birthday - she always manages to have a page in the DDaily!




7th
This seems like an awful heading for a DDaily page, but - its a book/dvd series and a (older) teenage craze atm... and heavily discussed at Paiges birthday party. Weeeell it's whats being read etc in our house this Dec (heaven forbid- I think its just horribly awful !)and luckily its only one genre appreciated by my girls (phew) LOL I wont write my opinion of it in the DecDaily (but can certainly write it here) as I'm sure I'd be viewed as a 'dinosaur fuddy-duddy'!




8th
Lastly, Hannah and Paige had practice today - Christmas Carols Concert which they have a duet. I managed to sneak in at the end just in time to hear their song,(Angel's Carol) weeeeeeell - I was reduced to tears hearing their voices harmonise - I felt a bit silly, but no matter - was way full of pride ( and sneaked a pic through the tears hoping it wouldnt be blurry)


Products:
Prima Tiny Alphabet Stickers

Just want to add that I love the size of this album - inside pages are about 7x9inches. Plenty of scope to try all sorts of inserts

 

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

This LO was a bit of fun  created for SCRAP THERAPY with a bunch of stickers and diecuts with layering and didnt take long, probably the longest part was the placement    !

Just use a little watercolour pencil to give it some depth and definition along with these products:
Carta Bella Christmas Day Snow White Paper
MME Lost & Found Christmas Accessory Sheet
Carta Bella Christmas Day Element Stickers

I always love a scene with Santa Claus watching on! It creates an fun festive atmosphere

Here's extra detail on the first page (which is the other side of the cover - didnt want to waste space ) Hannah was Wardrobe Mistress and did a fabulous job

A Christmas LO for Scrap Therapy

Here's a festive background using paints and stamps along with some diecuts to embellish...
Miss Maggie Mae!


The Tim Holtz Festive Greenery Die is just wonderful! I love the swirls, the leaves and the mix of shapes to create!


The stamp is Tim Holtz and is a leaf called 'Maple', the ones left in the shop are Oak and Birch both as gorgeous as the one I've used and they are such a great size!


The background paper is Carta Bella, Winter Fun Ice White
Paint has been sponged on lightly by opening the lid and applying to an sea sponge - its Ranger Dabber Red Pepper and a grey paint with the stamp over the top. Looks really messy here doesnt it!



Add the fabby Websters Trim (one of my favourite groups of trims!)
And arrange the diecut leaves and swirls .... all done!

-----------------------------------------------

 

Now with our production over, theatre packed up and sets and costumes stashed away...

I'm on holidays until mid February!!!

YAY!

 

 

Bring on Christmas!
