December Daily
Happy Wednesday! We have less than a week left before Christmas is here. It always comes too fast. Hopefully the snowstorm we are suppose to get will leave fast. I am hoping it wont be too bad.
I decided, with the help of some peeps at Club Ck, that I would try a December Daily book this year. So far, I have taken photos every day. Yesterday, I even printed off the photos. I thought I wouldnt get time to put it together until the end of the month. I have the photos cropped & sitting on the pages where they are going to be. They arent glued down yet.
Here are some of my DD photos. I was making Christmas cards at a friends house & her cat decided to help.
I am helping mom decorate Christmas cookies. She also taught me how to make candy cane cookies, which are my favorite.
This is part of the Holiday Train that stopped in our town.
This is a shelf in my scraproom that I decided to decorate for Christmas.I made the 2 cards on the ends & those are a couple of the snowglobes that I have collected. The rest are out in the living room with other decorations.
When I get my DD together, I will share some of it.

Secret Santa
Happy Saturday everyone! It has been over a month since I have blogged. Too much going on with Christmas sneaking up on us.
Today, I thought I would share about my Secret Santa at Club CK. At Club CK you can sign up to be a Secret Santa & then someone is chosen to be your Secret Santa. I want to Thank the person(Lead Elf) for organizing this event. I had so much fun picking out scrappy stuff for someone else. Lead Elf set up a spreadsheet for us to fill out. It includes our name, address, scrappy information that we wanted our Secret Santa to know about us. Our likes & dislikes, favorite colors etc. Then there is a place on Club Ck where we can chat with our Secret Santa. The first thing we send in the mail is a card. Here is a photo of my card & scrappy goodies that I received from my Secret Santa.
I cant wait to see what will be in my package. I will also share that with you when I receive it.
Hope everyone has a Great Weekend!

Holidays
Hello everyone! It has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Last week, I was busy taking care of my mom. She had another knee replacement surgery. I brought her home last Friday & stayed with her. My cousin also came down for the weekend to visit. So, we had some good quality family time.
Its nice to have those moments together even if its not the Holidays. Speaking of. November is already here? In just a couple weeks it will be Thanksgiving. I think October just flew by. I am hoping the rest of winter will too. I am already wishing it was getting warmer. I dont like the cold but dont mind the snow too much.
I havent been scrappin too much lately. Not much time when I was running errands for mom. I will have to get my desk cleaned off & get going. I have not even started Christmas cards yet. Yes, I do have to get going. There even was a challenge at Club CK for Christmas cards but I did not get around to it.
My son did not want me to take a picture of him & his friends dressed up for Halloween so here is a photo of me. I colored my hair & wore garfield Halloween PJ bottoms to work. I also put a pink jewel on my nose but I had did that after the photo. You can see the pink & purple in my hair. This gets a little messy but turned out neat. I think I will wear the purple for the football games.
Hope everyone has a Great weekend!

Prima Layout
Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to share a layout that I did this week for another Club CK challenge. In this challenge we were suppose to use our favorite scrapbooking collection or supplies from our favorite scrapbooking maufacturer.
I just LOVE flowers, bling, butterflies & pretty colors! To me that is Prima. It did help that I had just received the Firefly collection of Primas. This collection, although it is not a full collection, is at the top of my favorites. The colors of the patterned papers are beautiful. I love pinks & purples but even the other colors just went so well together. I ended up going all out for this layout. It looks like quite a bit of pink but I just Love the way this turned out.
The photos are from our LSS that closed last year. I had bought scrapbook supplies & sold them in the store on consignment. These photos show the Prima products that were hanging on the wall & sitting on the shelves.
Supplies: Prima Firefly collection of patterned papers, chipboard stickers, alphabet stickers, journaling notecard & stamp. Prima's other products include Say it in Pearls, Say it in Crystals, banners & tickets canvas resist, Meadow Lark wooden embellishment & flowers from different collections.
Other supplies: Martha Stewart Edge Punches, Black Soot Distress Ink, Dusty Concord & Picket Fence Distress Stain & Prima Distress tool.
Have a Good Weekend & Happy Scrappin!

Number of Photos Blog Hop
Hi & welcome to our Number of Photos Blog Hop! We each picked how many photos we wanted to use on our layout. There are 2 people designing for each amount. If you didnt arrive here from Adele's blog, you can go back to Amanda's blog & start from the beginning.
I picked 2 photos because thats what I primarily use on my layouts. Sometimes I will use 3. I have started to participate in more challenges lately so I decided to use this layout for 2 different challenges & the blog hop.
This layout was created from a sketch at Let's Get Sketchy. I turned the sketch sideways since I was using horizontal photos. The sketch showed using vertical photos. I also changed some of the elements & left some out.
The other challenge was from Lasting Memories. They want to see something from your Hometown. My photos are not very exciting or I should say I could have come up with something more monumental of my town. The top photo is one of our historical landmarks though. The rock on the bluff has a Native Indian story. It is called Sugar Loaf. The body of water below is our East Lake. We have 2 small lakes that are called the East & West lake because there is a road that runs between the 2 lakes.
The bottom photo is an area that people sometimes have their Senior/ Graduation pictures taken. There are trails to go hiking on if you go back into the trees more. There is another area that is called Stone Circle where you can sit & have a small fire. I took this photo just to capture the different shape of this tree. We probably should have waited 1 more week & then we could have captured more vibrant color changes on the trees in the bluffs.
Supplies: Brown cardstock, LYB's Hello Fall paper, clear cuts & corrugated shapes, Prima Say It In Pearls centers, Recollections Pearl stickers, My Mind's Eye decorative brads & Basic Grey letter stickers.
Tools: Martha Stewart Traditional Eyelet Edge Punch
Hope you enjoy the blog hop! Your next stop is Becky.
Happy Scrappin!

Wedding Layouts
Happy Friday everyone! Today I finished the 2nd page of a 2 page layout for my cousin's wedding album. The 1st page I uploaded for an Issue Challenge at Club CK last week. The challenge was to use a paper airplane and/or washi tape. I decided to just go on my own with using washi tape. I used it in the corners & on the pinwheels.
I lined up 3 strips of washi tape on white cardstock. I put washi tape on both sides of the cardstock on 2 of the 3 pinwheels. I then punched a square with a 1 1/2" square punch from Creative Memories. I took a scissors & cut from each corner diagonally about 3/4 of the way to the middle point. I just eyed up the middle. Then I folded the same corner of each cut to the middle point. I took my paper piercer & poked the middle point. I kept the points down with a finger & fastened a brad to the middle with the points under the brad. You dont even have to use glue.
I glued the lace on both bottom corners of the photo mat & also glued the pinwheels to the lace. The white foam Thickers were inked with Distress Ink, Color Wash spray & Stickles. I tried getting the length of the washi tape the same measurement for the corners but that was harder to do than I thought it would be. The white photo mat is from a wedding scrapbooking kit that my cousin received as a wedding gift. I will be incorporating the kit with supplies that I have also chosen for the album.
On the 2nd layout, I decided to use washi tape on the corners again. I cut an orangish colored piece of paper for a big mat. Then decided to mat every photo with pink cardstock. I decided to place the pictures more across the page instead of going down so it would go with the 1st page.
This week's challenge is to use itty bitty pieces on your project. This idea comes from the Creating Keepsakes magazine in the Sept./Oct. issue. My itty bitty pieces of embellishments are what I am using on my layout. Number 9 in the magazine says to group or layer a collection of teeny embellishments to accent or frame your photos. I used 3 black pearls plus the small pearl accent between the 2 photos at the top. I also used 4 black pearls on the bottom part of the orange mat. The black pearl flourish at the bottom of the page also came in the same package from Prima. The journaling at the top of the page are the names of the Wedding Party. The journal tag is also from the wedding kit & I inked the edges. I accented it with a distress marker & stickles. I added Prima centers to the silver flowers.The black stems for the flowers were cut apart from a ZVA flourish. That was the most time consuming part of this layout. Here are some close ups.
Supplies: Pg.1- Prima washi tape, white foam thickers, Picked Raspberry distress ink, Star Dust stickles, Ranger Adirondack Sunset Orange Color Wash, Queen & Co. washi tape, My Mind's Eye Decorative brads & FabriTac liquid glue.
Pg. 2- Queen & Co. washi tape, Orange Peel stickles, Worn Lipstick distress marker, Star Dust stickles, Black Soot distress ink, Prima Say It In Pearls, LYB fabric favorites(silver flowers), Prima Say It In Studs.
Hope everyone has a Great weekend!
