Christmas Recap & A Few Projects

Hi everyone!

I hope that this Monday finds you well.

So, here in our house, it's time for the Christmas

clean-up...we play, eat, relax, and have fun all of the

days surrounding Christmas and now it's time to find

homes for all of those presents and time for Mom to

have her house back!! Here's a few pics from Christmas...

The kids had an absolute blast!! Becca's big gift and almost

only gift this year was her laptop, Emmy's big gift was her

guitar, and Carter's was an electric Cars 4-wheeler!!

They had a very good year, and we enjoyed some family

time at Steve's mom's house during the afternoon.

It was a very Merry Christmas!!!

Of course, I have a few projects to share with you too that

I've been working on the past couple of days. I have another

layout using the Garden Gala line from Webster's Pages.

This one has a few more clean lines (like I've mentioned before,

I like to scrap in a variety of styles, just depends on my mood

and the products) but it's still very much Webster's!!

I also have a double layout that I scrapped with some of the

same photos. I do this sometimes because like in this case the

single layout will go into Carter's baby album and the double

layout with all of the photos included will go into our family

album. Do you all do this too or am I the only one? :)

This layout was created with Momenta papers and alphas.

And last but not least, here's a card using a cute little digi stamp

from Kenny Kiernan and the pattern papers are Crate Paper.

I distressed some of the pattern paper on this card by simply

using sandpaper lightly over the paper creating some rough

and raised areas and then gliding my ink pad over those

areas picking up a bit of dark brown ink on the raised areas.

Well, that's all for today!!

Have a wonderful Monday!

LOVES :) -Sarah
