New Goodies - Miss Mint: Christmas Past

Tis the season... for Holiday kits! I love holiday kits. I would say that I have a slight addiction to anything Holiday related. I've got quite a stash, and I'm sure that I've not used them all either.

Well, Miss Mint's (Peppermint Creative) new Holiday kit - Christmas Past - is just to die for! I love the vintage feel... totally right up my alley.



I love the new alphas that she's created to go with... her alphas are a must have in my book!











She's even bundled the whole collection together.



Also, if you haven't tried Miss M's goodies... she's got a new freebie kit out too... and it's perfect for scrapping those holiday movies I know I'll be watching this season!



I'm using this collection for my December Daily Album - really more of a Christmas 2011 Memories album. Check out the first few pages - images linked for full credits:







Well folks, that's all for today, but I'll be back soon with more new goodies! Until then... Happy Scrapping!!!

Pencil Lines Sketches 258 & 257

I'm a little behind on posting my Pencil Lines pages. I do love working with sketches, but I'll admit that I'm not always crazy about them or even inspired by them. You want to know something strange though... those pages that I struggle with turn out to be some of my favorites. This was most definitely the case with sketch 258. I struggled to find a vision of where I would take this page. Here's the sketch inspired by fellow Pencil Lines Design Team member Jennifer Mattot:



If you'd like to read more about Jennifer Mottot, the above sketch is linked to the Pencil Lines Sketch 258 Blog posting.

For my page... I really struggled to find a starting point. It wasn't until I flipped the sketch that my vision came... check out my finished page:



I just love how the Autumn page turned out! For this page, I used Autumn Flea Market Vol 2 by Shabby Miss Jenn with Snipettes: Fall by Sahlin Studio. Stitches by Anne Delong and the font is Grown Up Girl by Darcy Baldwin.

Up next, Sketch 257 was one of those that pretty much I had a vision of before I began the layout. I love the paper blocking style... especially when I can use a lot of pattern papers. Here's the sketch inspired by fellow Pencil Lines Design Team member Jennnifer Chapin:



If you'd like to read more about Jennifer Chapin, the above sketch is linked to the Pencil Lines Sketch 257 Blog posting. Here's my page:



For this page, I used Bountiful Blessings by Melissa Bennett with Snipettes: The Perfect Pumpkin by Sahlin Studio and the font is Grown Up Girl by Darcy Baldwin.

Well, that's it for now... be sure to stop by again soon!

Happy Scrapping!

For my layout, I really wanted to scrap with my youngest daughter's first Halloween photo. That year she was Blue from Blue's Clues. She was totally too cute.

Aren't here ears to cutest! My husband used bendable straws to make them stick out.
