Good Morning, Oh my we're half way through December already! How is your holiday going, are you preparing, crafting, decorating, buying, wrapping and chilling (cause you got it all done!) This gal is working, working, working but so looking forward to the holiday to relax and be with family :) Getting bits done each day, need somehthing in my Dec Daily and this is a good way to add it in there! 
Welcome to Sketch N Scrap's 2nd layout challenge for December. Heather provided this fun sketch for us to use:

 

 I didn't stray to much from the sketch, really good one to use too :)

I had a blast creating this layout and so cool how it turned out :) I had so many extra photos from 2017 more than I will need for my December Daily (yes, not done with that yet!) That decided to do a few layouts this month with the pictures.

Washi Tape card for Counterfeit Kit Challenge

This month we took off creating kits, but we're still active over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog each day bringing you a Christmas card. So if you need ideas for cards this year this is the place to go for inspiration.

Season's Greetings

I used washi tape for my card today to add a fun border to the card. Great way to use some of your washi tape stash is with borders :)

This is a very easy card which is great this time of the year and the added embellishments isn't to bulky so makes for at good shipping card too. I used 5 different strips of Washi Tape on the card, 4 for the border and 1 for the sentiment. Relatively quick and simple to make.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out what I'm up to in my scrappy corner of the world :)

Ava 1st Halloween Pumpkin LO for Sketch N Scrap Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to Sketch N Scrap's 2nd layout challenge. Heather provided this fun sketch for us to use:

What a fun sketch and this is what I created with it:

I had fun doing alot of smooshing mists to create that background that Heather had going on in her sketch and using the 4 photos I found from this day. Thanks to Jessica for posting the photos on facebook I was able to Enjoy seeing Ava's 1st pumpkin picking photo and made sure that was the largest photo, with the family & friends photo coming in 2nd in size. The pumpkin photos I put diagonally from each other with Ava's above her photo and here sister Emily's below the family photo (Dad is holding Emily, while Mom is holding Ava and then there is also Amber in the bottom of the photo and Jonathon taking the photo)
I used my current counterfeit kit Everyday Insight for my papers for this layout. Thanks for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation from this fun sketch over at Sketch N Scrap

35 Weeks LO for Counterfeit Kit Challenge #1

The 1st challenge for Counterfeit Kit Challenge is upon us for the month and Lisa has challenged us for the 1st challenge of the month with Anticipation.

"For many, November is a time of anticipation - before the fun of Christmas begins, looking forward to - or maybe dreading - the weather turning colder and winter showing its face,  or the year coming to an end. Or, like me, it might be a time full of birthdays, wedding anniversaries and family visits. Whatever it is you're expecting, waiting for or feeling excited about, be inspired by the anticipation of something today!"

Mine was easy enough answered when I seen this photo that my granddaughter took and post on facebook:

 Yes! Our newest treasure to the family arrives in December and we're excited to meet our Great Grandson. With a December birth the frost collection I had in my counterfeit kit Everyday Insight this is one of the times that it's not the everyday :) but insightful :) The snowy of the frost collectio was perfect match to the boy theme of the baby and the pink flowers for the shirt are honored er in the flowers too. I used a sketch to help me with the layout

A visit we had in March 2017. It was the 1st time we got to see Ava our Great Granddaughter, Jessica's 2nd child. Boy what a socialable person she is :) She was back and forth with Dave and I. Poor Emily wasn't feeling good and wanted to stay with Mommy but did get a cute pick of her on Mommy's lap. These are the best moments :) I used my counterfeit kit: Groovy Chic for the layout and lots of bits and pieces from my stash to make those borders
