New Years Eve Crop

It's Scrapbook Star's annual New Years Eve Crop Wednesday, December 30th to Friday, January 1st. Lots of great challenges, games and prizes and one lucky person will win a Sizzix Texture Boutique for completing Samantha's Sketch challenge. Hope you can join us!

Here's a peak at one of my challenges:

Merry Christmas

From our house to yours - Merry Christmas!

Cute as a Button

Well I finally have a girl in my house. This is Buttons our new kitten. I made the boys buy her a pink collar :).

Heirloom

So I did this layout about my son's Kindergarden class making these awesome snow globes last year for Christmas and titled it Heirloom in the hopes that it would be passed down from generation to generation. Well when we finally got around to putting up our decorations this year when we opened the box the water in the globe had turned all brown and murky. I don't have the heart to throw it out yet but I don't think it will make it as an Heirloom.

Christmas Tags

Here's a set of tags I made with the Scrapbook Star December Kit...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

One of my favorite things about Christmas is the music. I love listening to my favorite Christmas CD's and listening to my kids perform at their school concert and piano recitals.




This layout was done with the Scrapbook Star December kit and is from Linden's school concert last year.

Ornaments

I love making ornaments for our tree and for friends and family. This year I had a brilliant idea for an ornament - I wanted to make a little winter scene in a ball. I was laughing so hard by the time I got everything to stand up and the glitter in the ball but I love how it turned out :)

I used the December Scrapbook Star kit for the Bella Boulevard paper and Maya Road Pin (aka snowman) and the ornament and trees were from Michaels.

Zutter Zisters
