Hello and Happy New Year! Kim here with a quick layout share using Creative Scrapbooker Magazineโs December Sketchy Challenge. Decemberโs wreath sketch was once again designed by the talented Kerry Engel and easily spoke to our holiday brains as a backdrop to holiday pictures. My brain quickly went to winter, Christmas, green, red and gold when I initially saw the designโฆthatโs when my hand went up and said NO! I like to challenge the sketches by thinking outside of my gut feelings. I had all kinds of winter themed product on my desk and couldnโt get my brain away from a Christmas wreath vision, so I cleared it ALL off my table and pulled out the first collection of paper I had that was NOT Christmas. It just happened to be Simple Storiesโ Forever Fall collection. First off, I LOVE autumn and I LOVE autumn colours. My brain started chugging…
Are you feeling merry today? Well, itโs November now and you might as well get used to the Christmas jingles and dรฉcor every way you look. For me, the Christmas season doesnโt start until a certain coffee shop releases their holiday cupsโฆ Thatโs right. I get giddy inside and I instantly want to hoard keep my first empty cup in order to scrapbook it later. I am immediately ready to tackle the season head on while I fill up my planner with parties and traditions. Itโs pretty much the most exciting time of the year! Isnโt that right? Fa La La La La! You should be singing Fa La La La La, if you noticed how the branches of the tree were raised in the photo above. Thatโs right, its an amazing framelit from Stampinโ Up! that coordinates with the Peaceful Pines stamp set. Quite easy and quite amazing. Christmas…
