Scrap It With A Song - Favorite Christmas Carol

Do you ever get the great feeling inside when you feel that what you created touches you deeply?  That's how I feel about this layout.  Today at Scrap It With A Song, both Team A and Team B have shared our creations on our favorite Christmas carol.  The song I chose is "Silent Night".  It is very calming and spiritual to me.

Silent Night

I used lots of different mediums for this layout and this is of a photo I took last winter on a very calm winter's night at dusk.  This layout was inspired by the December 2012 sketch at C'est Magnifique and Keren Tamir.

I hope you play along with us and that you are inspired.  Come along and join us at Scrap It With A Song and scrap your favorite Christmas carol.  We are looking for new design team members as well.

Have a great day!

Sketches In Thyme - Sketch #97 Team A & B

We are having a blast over at Sketches In Thyme and both teams A & B are participating in this week's sketch reveal.

Sketch #97

Two page layouts are not my favorite thing to scrap, but it takes me out of my comfort zone and that is a good thing sometimes.  My layout is of some wintery photos that I recently took out in the country on a frosty day.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

I used the new Blissful Blizzard Collection by Fancy Pants Designs, some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, jewels by Queen & Co. and my Silhouette Cameo to create the barb wire photo borders, the title and the bottom two borders of the layout.

Have some fun with us and upload your creation at Sketches In Thyme by December 31, 2012.

Have a great day!

Scrap It With A Song - Shaking Up Christmas

For this week, we are Shaking Up Christmas by the band Train.

and here's my cat Sheldon

Sheldon Shaking Up Christmas

I couldn't help but scrap my cat Sheldon, who is a rescue cat and came to us last April.  He was in bad shape but now he is healthy, full of energy and settling in and making himself right at home.  He looks evil in this photo, (lol) but he is actually watching me type on my laptop.  I had my camera handy so I took a snapshot of him.

This layout was created with the Fancy Pants "Home For Christmas" Collection and my Silhouette Cameo.

Hope you get inspired to create a layout on how you "shake up Christmas" and upload it by December 31 at Scrap It With A Song.

Happy scrapping!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #325

It's another Monday here at Scrapbook Challenges and here in my country, Canada, we are experiencing the season of winter.  Most people in Canada think winter is a pain, but it's our reality so I try to make it as positive as I can.  That means taking lots of winter photos to scrapbook.  Here is a photo I took last week about ten minutes from my home.  The hoar frost was so pretty that day.

and here is the sketch that I used to create the layout...

but if you like two page sketches, we have that too...

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #325 Double

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are inspired to create.  Check out our Twelve Days Of Challenges for the month of December at Scrapbook Challenges for more inspiration and challenges.

Scrapbook Challenges 12 Days Of Challenges

All December long at Scrapbook Challenges we are celebrating the season by bringing you the Twelve Days Of Challenges.

Today, my challenge is up and it's the Eighth Day Of Challenges.  My challenge is to create an oval shape on a layout.

Grandparents Are The Best

I used my Silhouette Cameo to create an oval photo mat and cut it twice and layered it with dimensional adhesive and then cut some oval shapes and used them for my title and date as well as embellishments.

This layout was made with Graphic 45 The Ladies' Diary Collection and it's for my son's album of my parents (his grandparents).  I thought the vintage paper would be appropriate for this layout.

I hope this has inspired you to create a layout with the oval shape.  Come play along at Scrapbook Challenges all month.  If you need a little inspiration check out all the Twelve Days Of Challenges here.

Starting in January, we are going to have some exciting changes so keep checking back.

Have a great Saturday!
