Fast and Fun Christmas Layout

Fast and Fun!  Using the stamp from the Wonderland WOTG kit and ink colors Heavenly Blue, Crystal Blue and White Daisy on Heavenly Blue Cardstock I created background paper also distressing the edges with a dauber and White Daisy ink.  Torn Colonial White cardstock works great for center matting.  Bitty Sparkles and Designer Rhinestone Brads highlight the stamped and Art Philosphy Cricut stars. Stamped images from Glory To God D1483 and Everlasting Love D1440 compliment this page for our live Nativity.

TuTu Cute

I had the awesome opportunity to participate in a 3 day crop weekend.  It was wonderful with no interruptions to making pages.  We didn't sleep much which is why I was able to achieve emptying almost a whole shoe box of old pictures (30 to 100 years old) onto 64 pages.  Who would sleep when you can scrap!!  Anyway, included in some of those pages I completed this page of my granddaughter in her dance recital this past summer.  So  this one is not an old picture.  It was created with Roxie Stickease and paper collection.  It was fast and easy and my favorite of the weekend.
