We recreated some wonderful family memories on Christmas night at my Mom and Dad's home. When all of the family cousins were little, they would "sing on the stairs" while waiting for Santa to arrive! They were good sports and it was fun to capture and create this new family memory.

I used the FAB-U-LOUS Warm Wishes from Vicki Boutin!

- The first week of 2023 included my wonderful husbands birthday, 

on January 7th. 

I created this layout using Photo Play's Add Another Candle collection.  

t

I started with a pre-made Vicki Boutin mixed media base that I stenciled some black circles on and splattered with Distress Oxide and Nuvo Mica Mist sprays.
And how cool is that Mega Date Stamp!! I LOVE it!

I made candles by rolling and gluing some of the papers and created flames by cutting some of the ribbon the MLSS includes with your shipment!!  Thanks Michelle!

I just LOVE the Fringe Scissors I got from MLSS too!

Challenge YOUrself #109 - 2022 Wonderful Memory

Here's Challenge YOUrself #109, the first challenge of the 2023!

Can you believe it is 2023 already???!!!

This month we'd like you to create a layout about "2022 - the year in review." You can interpret it any way you like, for example, you can scrap about how one experience changed the year for you. Or you can scrap about different experiences you had and even put them in chronological order if you like, etc. 

Thankfully, 2022 was a year of more ups - than the downs that 2021 brought us!

I decided to scrap one of the very best "ups" for 2022.

I selected this photo to capture a memory of my Aunt and Uncle's 50th Anniversary. My little brother Jack was a junior usher and and I was a junior bridesmaid in their wedding.  I am so thankful and grateful we were all able to celebrate together as a family again.  This was our first time since Covid and after our vaccinations, that we were all together again!  Due to my husband's health, we had been extra careful and did not attend any for over 2 years!  It was great to be together with our family again!

This is a photo of my brother Jack, my mom, my husband Phil, me and my Dad in my cousin's back yard at the party. It rained for a bit, but it didn't ruin the fun time we all had together!
I used the beautiful 49 and Market ARToptions Alena Collection!! from My Little Scrapbook Store -
 Oh MY! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!  I also added some acetate leaves from their Spectrum Sherbet Collection, some flowers from Little Birdie, some paper twine and charms from my stash too!

Here are some close-ups for you:

Christmas Eve 2022

Hi everyone - I wanted to share a layout I created at the end of last month - for one of My Little Scrapbook Store's Facebook Live Events. I used a photo taken of my husband and I before we went to church on Christmas Eve.

Here is the link to the video if you'd like to watch the process: https://www.facebook.com/1454975481/videos/671951584409158/

I created the background using a plain piece of Vicki Boutin's Mixed Media paper - and used Ranger Distress Oxide Inks, in Lumberjack Plaid, and Peeled Paint, along with some Nuvo Gold Mica Mist and I love how it turned out!  I also combined papers and embellishments from Vicki Boutin's Evergreen and Holly, and Warm Wishes collections and used one of her older stencils to create the 2, what I think look like - poinsettias! I scattered sequins and some bling, along with some puffy stickers and the title from Vicki Boutin's Warm Wishes Thickers.

I ended up outlining the 2 stenciled poinsettias with a fine black marker, and added more red bling on some of the berries on the frame after the live ended. 

Here are some close ups for you:

I also used a fun Ink Blot Shop border stamp from My Little Scrapbook Store in 2 places on the layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love for you to leave a comment, and let me know where you are from - or what you like most about this layout! 

I wish you and your family a very Happy and Healthy 2023!
