On a roll...

with my third layout of the day...  this one is for Sketches in Thyme and I went way back for this picture of me with my sweet MIL... we have been scrapping buddies since I married her son 12 years ago so she can be partly to blame for my addiction ;)  seriously I love her like my own mother and love that we can share this together!!!

 

 

One Crazy Family

I am back with a little more scrappiness... now that Christmas is over I may actually have some extra time to get back to scrapbooking... one of my goals for next year is to be more involved and productive with challenges and blogging and putting myself out there for some design teams.

So to start off my resolution a little early I have this layout from Let's Get Sketchy of my ever so crazy family... it is a tradition for us to make silly pictures whenever we do a family shot.  I found this great paper from MME, Lime Twist in my stash from 2011 (yeesh!!) - which that is another goal, reduce my stash - and thought it would be great for these pictures.

 

 

Christmas craftiness..

Hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa brought you everything you wanted :)

I have actually found some time to do a couple of layouts with some pics I found while cleaning up my craft room.

This layout is of my oh so cute nephews from last Christmas using the sketch from Scrapmuch... I was lucky enough to get them to take a pic with me but they would never sit together.. go figure with 2 year olds!!!

Creative Scrappers Sketch #283

So in my effort to get back into the scrappy world of challenges and design teams I found one of my favorite sketch sites, Creative Scrappers, where they post sketches every couple of weeks.

I loved this sketch and it worked perfect with Doodlebug's new Christmas line, Santa Express and I knew this picture of my nephews would be super cute in the middle of it. ;)

here are a couple of close ups where I popped a few of the elements and added some stickles for sparkle.

Christmas PJ's

Since the twins have been born I have given them Christmas pajamas each year, but since I have gotten the sewing bug I decided to make them this year,

I found this cute Riley Blake fabric in red and green and knew it would be perfect, cause even though they are twins, we don't like them to match exactly.  I found the baseball jerseys at Old Navy and they were a perfect match.

 

It was exciting for me because they wanted to put them on and wear them right away, so now I have to get busy on the ones I am giving them for Christmas.  I did have great plans to make pj pants for everyone in the family, but it takes me a little bit of time to get these done, so maybe next year!!  LOL
