Christmas Challenge Inspiration

I hope you are managing to find time to start scrapbooking your Christmas photos for our challenge- I have another one to share with you today. I had a few pieces left over of the Simple Stories collection and so created this layout of my second son, Richard, participating in his Nursery school's nativity play in 1994. I sponge painted the baubles then added some glitter and brads.
  

                            Happy scrapping and I am looking forward to seeing your entries!

December Daily

 

 

Hey there

Happy new year everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, spent with loved ones and making good memories. I know I certainly did, with it being our baby Lily's first christmas. Not that she has much recollection, as she was only 3 weeks old at Christmas.

Today I want to share a few pages from my December Daily. For those of you who do not know what a December Daily is, it is a mini album created to record the lead up to Christmas, often with a photo or even just journalling, to reflect the activities you did on each day in December. I did my first last year, although it was more of a general December summary. This year I have actually created a page per day, as it seemed important to record Lily's first few weeks in our lives and of course the wonderful lead up to Christmas.

Not the best photo of the cover but as you can see there is an awesome Christmas Scraplet, which was just perfect for this project.

 And here are a couple of pages from the start of my December daily... which I actually started in November since I put my christmas tree up a little early in case of an early arrival (Lily came on the 3rd and was due on the 6th).

For my album I used a Theresa Collins mini album kit which made it all quite easy, but you can use any mini album or make your own from scratch. The options are endless and there is so much inspiration for December Daily albums online. So if you haven't already, maybe you will decide to make your own for 2013 :)

JANUARY CHALLENGE

Hi everyone and a very happy new year to you all. Well, it is time for our first challenge for 2013 and I am hoping you have heaps of Christmas photos you would like to scrapbook and beautiful Christmas papers that you are very keen to use! Maybe, like me, you have already started which is fantastic as it means you have your entry completed and ready to enter!

Visit the a2zscraplets website as they have the most amazing selection of titles and shapes to help you create beautiful layouts. I decided to scrapbook this special Christmas card that my youngest son made for his dad. The two enjoyed a memorable holiday to Alaska in July 2012 and this is a photo that Brendan took with our new camera...absolutely picture perfect and very suitable for a greeting card! Hubby's smile says it all!
I used Simple Stories paper and an a2zscraplet bauble.

                                              

                    

 I enjoy remembering Christmases when my sons were young so decided to scrapbook one for this challenge......here is our eldest son, Shaun, in his Nursery school nativity play in 1992. Oh my, such a gorgeous shepherd!
