Christmas Layout with Process Video

I'm up on Nuts About Sketches again this week. We had a great double page sketch to work with and it felt really good to be back on double pages and 4x6 photos. 



here is the sketch if you'd like to play along. You can see I kept pretty true to the sketch this time.
NAS 345

I used the new CTMH Snowhaven collection. It's colors of Ruby, Slate, Glacier, and Black are just striking no matter how you use it. I've included all the links to the supplies below so be sure to check them out. 

And so close ups of the details.

I used the Artbooking cartridge for all of the cuts.


The Holiday Happenings Assortment has some wonderful tags and embellishments that go perfect with Snowhaven.


Finish off with a few silver sequins and I think it's a pretty striking layout and I'm so glad to have another memory documented. The journalling is all about how my kids have never been one to wake us up early to open gifts. Of course they'll tell you it's because I always tell them to wait until I have my camera. LOL

Daddy's Helper Layout & Process Video

I'm back today with another layout using my November Paper Camellia kit. This may be my favorite so far but I think I say that each time. LOL


I did this layout for the 50 Moments challenge a group of ladies and I are doing. It's all about getting the stories down and not just the event. While I could tell the story of our never ending remodel of our house these pictures are so much more to me. They remind me of how my daughter was always right beside her daddy helping and how much she enjoyed just being with him. She's very much a daddy's girl and very much like him.

Some close ups...


I used the squirrel and added the little heart to symbolize her love of animals and their love for her.


The 3x4 cut apart card was perfect to use as part of the title for this page. She's always up for the adventure as long as someones with her. LOL


When I opened my kit and saw this little house I knew I wanted to include it with these pictures. It took a little adjusting to fit it all in but I love how it worked out. The little dear has been in my stash and again I included it to symbolize another personality of my daughter I cherish.



I have another process video for you. If you're reading in your email click on the link to watch the video.



I'm playing along with Paper Camellia's sketch challenge this month.
