Project 365: December 2011

I can now show the final layout in my Project 365 series.

The December layout was done as part of my DT work at Mad About Scrappin, using a kit including some papers by Simple Stories.

December:

Since the papers and alphas were so busy, I decided to add no extra embellishing at all, so as to not distract from the photo collage.

Highlights for December included: CHRISTMAS DAY!!
Others included: the kids having a Santa photo (which was a drama!), going to a Big Bash League game at the WACA, NYE fireworks, my little brother buying me a new laptop as an early Christmas present, Lily finished kindy, I had an ENT appointment, and found out that I not only having hearing loss in my left ear (I already knew), but my right ear also has substantial hearing loss (it's just that my left ear is worse), and that it may in fact be permanent!

I'll be back in the next couple of days to share my other layouts from the DT kit I was sent.

Mad About Scrappin - Christmas Kit

Leanne sent me a kit full of Cosmo Cricket's - Dear Mr Claus as my last DT kit.

I managed to complete 3 layouts, with a few little scraps left over.

Because I'm an 8.5x11" scrapper, and most of the customers that buy the kits scrap 12x12 layouts, I also include some sketches with my layouts - they are nothing fancy, just black and white line sketches, but I'm still learning.

I did also make a card, but silly me forgot to email it to Leanne!

November Challenge at Mad About Scrappin

It's a new month, so time for another challenge at Mad About Scrappin.

To be in the running for this fantastic prize (a Three Bugs in a Rug collection pack, valued at over $20):

All you have to do, is to complete a layout, and include 3 stamps.

Safe in Their Arms

I used the awesome HAPPY DAYS Collection by Echo Park, Leanne was nice enough to get it in for me when I asked.

Did you spot my stamping?

I'm not a big stamp user (doesn't stop me from buying them though!!), so at first this challenge had me stumped, but then I came up with a clever way to incorporate the stamps - I stamped the date 3 times! I've seen it done so many times, and it looks awesome, so I figured now was as good a time as any, to give it a go myself!

You have until November 25, to load your layout up to the Facebook page...HERE
