1st Holiday Visiting for Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style Challenge

Good morning! Happy Thursday to you, just little over a week now till Christmas, I hope you all are ready cause at this house we aren't close to being ready !!? Yes this year it is coming way to fast so every extra minute will be dedicated to wrapping, or decorating, or cleaning and there will be the occasional card to make too! I would like to get some tags done up also but the time just might not be there to get that done so just maybe going out to buy some tags! Depending on who's packages get wrapped over the next few days. But in the mean time I have been getting my DT projects done. For today's Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style Sketch Challenge the reveal of Sketch #55 by the fabulous, Susanne Brauer..... Here is what I did with the sketch:

 I used the sketch to create my journaling card for my layout. This layout is from Christmas past, (following with Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog and creating a layout about Christmas Past with my Christmas 2016 100 challenge. It was grreat using a sketch from one of the CKC Mater Forgers too:

This sketch is open for your creative interpretation! Just make sure to link it up over at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style to be in for the prize :)

Here is the layout attached to that journaling card:

I used an old sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog for my layout Sketch #111. This is pictures of a visit with Brad and Katherine and a young Zachary, he was just about 5 months old in the family picture (he is now 6 yrs old). The B&W photo has a happy Pappy looking on. So glad to capture moments like this and it's fun to reminisce when doing layouts with old photos. As I not kept up with Christmas scrapping that you'll see many of these layouts over the next month as I start building up my Family Christmas Album. Love the layering of the layout and the sprinkling of sequins and thickers dots about the layout.
Thank you for stopping by and seeing what I'm up too in my little corner of the world.....

Christmas 100 challenge-Paper and Embellishments

Hello :) Are you doing a Dec Daily this year? any Christmas scrapping? how about Christmas cards? Christmas tags? I say yes to all 4 questions :) Yes I'm going to do a Dec Daily for 2016. I pulled my papers and my embellishments for it and the challenge over at the 100 Pattern Paper Challenge Facebook Group. We have a current Christmas challenge of 100 paper and/or embellishments to use from your stash for you Christmas creating this year. For me that includes January to get all my Christmas pictures scrapped. Probably February there will be a new 100 challenge.
This is the 50 pieces of paper I pulled from my stash for my Christmas kit: 31 papers will be used for my foundation papers for my Dec Daily which is an 8X8 album this year. This album has been in my stash for since I can remember when I started scrapping in 2007, thinking I either got it on sale or in a swap.

 A wide variety of colors to work with and as we have a daily challenge over at the facebook group should have no trouble getting them to work with in the album, left overs will go to cards and tags either for this month or for next year. Trying to use all my Christmas stamps atleast once this year, instead of letting them sit and get dusty.

The embellishments range from a couple of 6X6 paper pads, a Project Life Christmas pack, an old Christmas card kit I got when I was first creating cards maybe 2009 era. a variety pack of doilies, vellum tape. various rhinestone packages, a few bags of Christmas goodies I got at yard sales this past year, stickers from various companies and in various colors, lots of trims and ribbons, sequins, skittles, beads, die cuts, and lots of other things.
After the Christmas holiday and all the necessary things around the house that need done before guests arrive I look forward to creating more with the kit than the time I have right now to create, except for the occasional DT project and a need card to send out. I know I got 1 day that I need to make tags. will be using my manual cutter for that this year. Lots of wrapping to do this week.
I will be playing along with Counterfeit Kit Challenge as they are having a daily blog post about Christmas with their Master Forgers that so far has been fun to read

and I'll be getting inspiration for my Dec Daily from Let's Dec Daily I'm a little behind on the blog posts but have some time this week to catch up and see what the girls have been creating

I have also signed up for Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class so the days I don't have anything I can draw from those prompts. It's gonna be a fun Christmas crafting season and with the new job a different outlook too.
Just a couple more weeks left! where did the time go this month!
