Last year I was able to capture some amazing shots of my daughter staring endlessly at the Christmas tree. It was such a magical time for her. For this page I cut the squares out of the pic by hand and spread them out in a pixel design.

Talk about a non traditional Christmas layout lol. I went with some bright, wacky colors and funky embellies to punk this page out. Those Christmas lights came from a broken necklace. The smaller photos are parts of my Christmas tree and bows from opened presents. This crazy page represents just how wild our X-mas mornings are, but always filled with magic.

I've been waiting to scrap these pictures for a long time and when I saw the inspirations for this month, I knew it was the perfect time to. I used Thickers and sticker alphas for the title. The paper is from K and Company and I covered some parts with red glitter glue. I also misted the background with some red and green. The poinsettias are felt and I found them in the Christmas craft section of my local craft store.

My first ever Christmas layout - can you believe it? It's also our first Christmas as a married couple, our first real tree, and the first time we get to celebrate Christmas at home together - 'Our Own Little Christmas'. I used some s.e.i paper from last year's collections to reflect the stripes on the candy cane decoration in the photo, and decided to ~~go crazy with~~ use up some of my chipboard frames to reflect the squares on the sketch. Lots of bling, lots of white - just as Christmas should be, no?

Teeth- SURPRISE! I need not 1 but TWO root canals. I went to the dentist to get a filling replaced and was told there was decay underneath. The title reflects how I felt because I consider a cavity a failure. Yes I know this isn't exactly Christmasy. I figured- it's PUNKY Scraps right? I get she's totally crazy license. ;)

This is my sweet dd a week ago during our first snow. I used a crafters workshop template and modeling paste to get the snowflakes. Then to get some color and define the flakes a little more, I sprayed some Donna Salazar smooch sprays . The swirly piece I used to show a gust of wind is an awesome chippie from Scrapfx that I painted with some white and blue and shimmered with some glitter.. I also tried to make it look like my snow(wo)man had an icicle on the end of her nose, but it just looks like the poor gal has a snot problem!
