Never Too Old.....

 

My son Adam took the boys for a recent visit with Santa and I love that he had his picture taken with the jolly old soul also.  I used more of my recent American Crafts prize package for this layout.  They sent me 8 sets of Thickers and I just LOVE using them for my titles.

 

I used this sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

My husband was reading a photography magazine on his present from me (a Kindle Fire) a couple of days ago and decided to fool around with some of the settings on his camera (a Christmas gift from me 2 years ago).  He took some cool shots of a few ornaments on our tree.  I love the one in the upper left corner where you can see his distorted image in the ornament.  Well then we wanted to test out my Christmas gift....an Epson photo printer and printed these prints.  They turned out beautiful!  I love my Christmas gifts....an everyday printer that I have been using to print some Project Life freebies and my photo printer.  I will never need to go to Walgreens for prints again.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Merry Christmas

My son Adam posted several really great Christmas pictures on Facebook this year (this is one of them) so you know for sure I will be scrapping them. If I had some pictures of Matt, Amy and the girls I would scrap those as well.  (hint,hint)

Izzy's Christmas Card

I am blessed with 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters....what could be more perfect?  This card is for the youngest of the bunch....Isabelle Grace or as she is known to everyone....Izzy.  She is 16 months old and here is a recent picture of her............

 

 

Now tell me, isn't she one of the cutest lil' girls???  And really full of personality and lots of love for everyone.  I used the cute little elf on this card for her because she reminds me of a cute little elf!  I used this sketch from The Sampler Kit Club for inspiration:

I am off this week between Christmas and New Year and enjoying myself immensely.  I am shopping, working in my scraproom, sleeping in a little later than 5:15am and enjoying an occasional nap.  Hope you are enjoying this holiday season as well.

The No Turkey Day

This past Thanksgiving we spent the day with my in-laws and it was decided by mutual consent that we would have a whole beef tenderloin instead of a turkey.  Not being a big fan of eating large birds that was fine with me.  My husband set up his camera tripod to take this photo just as we were about to eat so everyone got to be in the photo.

 

I used this awesome sketch from My Scraps and More Sketches:

Hope You Made the Nice List

 

I made nearly all of my Christmas cards and all of my gift tags this year and REALLY enjoyed making the gift tags.  Here is another one that I made.  I used Paper Smooches for the sentiment and that adorable rubber charm is just from the Doolar Tree where I got 4 of these cuties on a card for $1.

Merry Christmas to all!
