This is my place to share with family and friends. You might find handmade cards, digital scrapbook pages, photos or a little chatter because those are the things I love. My blog is a work in progress, so be patient with me. Most of the time I think I will be talking to myself, but hey, I'm used to that!

Getting in the mood...

for Christmas that is. I scrapped some old pics of my daughter's visits with Santa. These photos are from the 70's. She never liked doing the Santa thing much, but she has always loved Christmas and still does. I used Kim Hill's Contemporary Christmas kit and Crumpled Edges element pack available at CG Essentials

Carol Loves Santa Not!



I like this kit so much that I had to make a card too. This is a hybrid card. I design it in Photoshop Elements, them deconstruct the card. Then the digital elements and background paper are printed, cut up and mounted on real cardstock. I used Demensions to pop up the layers for interest. Hybrid cards are so much fun to make. Here is the holiday card.

Great job on the layout - love it! I also like the card.

I have to share this with you! When my daughter was seven, she sat on Santa's lap and told him she wanted a baby sister for Christmas. Afterwards, the Santa came up to me and told me what Stephanie (my daughter) had said she wanted for Christmas. I said, sorry but I'm single.

Afterwards, I thought - what a dumb reply. I should have said thank you and walked away!

Love your page! It is so cute and the layout is great with the presents at the bottom with the "Wish" Very creative to also make a card out of it. I like how you raised up the leaves and added the berries.
