Fall

 Thanksgiving family photos from 2021

I used the December double page sketch from Stick it Down.

I also used the tag challenge from Cookin' Up Creations:

Today's challenge is focusing on TAGS...whether they are plain, matching a paper line, Christmas, etc. For this challenge you must use at least 2 tags and because it is a round-up add a circle or two to the mix.

You have a few hours to join these challenges.

A tradition each year at my mom's is to hang all the stockings on the mantle.  Kids and spouses on 1 side and grandchildren and great grandchildren on the other side.

Stick it Down December single page sketch

Cookin' Up Creations Saturday, December 21

What is your favorite Christmas memory? Mine would be the Christmas party my parents would have for my dads employees, My mom would pull out her Elvis Christmas album and play it. There were lots of chatter, laughter, goodies and music. So my challenge for today is, for you to share a Christmas memory on your layout.

 

Merry Christmas

I am still making Christmas cards!

My Challenge:  When I think of Christmas I think of family. There are usually many times to gather as family. We gather together to celebrate. My challenge is to have a photo with family in it. It doesn't have to be family just several people.

It does NOT need to be a Christmas photo. Also include some love on your page by including at least 1 heart

I used sketch #495 From Sketches in Thyme

So join a scrap challenge today.

Who. what, Where, When, How Challenge at  Cookin' Up Creations

Today's Challenge is:

1.)  give info about your LO without using a journaling box, spot, or tag.  You will need to incorporate the info of who, what, where, when, why, & how into your LO so that the page tells your story without writing it out.   You may use stickers, alphas, symbols, etc. to tell your story.  See my example below.  

2.)  It's winter!  Your LO does not need to be about winter however because it's cold outside we need to layer up.  Use lots of layers!
