December Daily Day 2 - Trim the Tree
I really loved these Images The Tree one I got out of a Communication Arts Magazine (u will hear this alot I have two boxes of these they r the best) The Creating from the heart was from an Old Scrapbook Convention Ad.
Right now I think they speak for themselves So I am not sure if I will add anything else to these pages.
And here is the back of the Tree Add. I added on some Journaling and a Few MAMBIE Embellishments.
Reads: Today we trimmed the Tree. We put up the 1st fake tree since we moved to California. Things just didn't seem he same without going to pick out our own real tree. It took alot of coaching to gt the kids to participate. We need to figure out a new way to get everyone in the Spirit. I felt pretty sad most of the time. It really just doesn;t feel like Christmas time to m e right now. Christina went home from the Hospital today so I am very thankful for that... LE
Our Tree & I have some unfinished Business So I took a picture but decided I was going to save that for an other day...

December Daily Day 1 - Making A List
For the first day, I decided to Start with where any Event should Start...
With making a List. Of course every book should feature my 3 Babies so I proudly added some silly face pics of them to the front.
Of course everybook should feature my 3 Babies so I proudly added some silly face pics of them to page one.
On the left page I split my list into Important Dates or Possible Dates. I used pencil because things will change. But I did use pen for the things that wont. Then on the right side I listed To Do Items.
The Little Calender on the bottom is a free printable you can get from Heidi Swapp's site.
On the other page are my kids top 5 list. I gave them these cards and asked them to fill them out.
Used some Martha Stewart Twine.
Some left over rub-ons from a few years ago. (Making Christmas Ornaments)
And some generic brand Present Stickers.

December Daily Base Pages
For the first Time ever I am ahead of the GAME! I decided to do a December Daily.
I am so dedicated to getting it done. With all the Events in Life right now, I really need to have my creative time. So this will make sure I dedicate at least 15minutes a day to journaling or creating.
All My Base Pages are Done.
I used an assortment of My Mind Eye Christmas Paper ( I think I own them all LMAO)
The Cover however is some left over stuff I had from Who KNows where.
On the cover I used a paper bag I got last year at Target to make the Tree (also used to make pockets for the Inside)
I used some Little Deb? (was that the brand) Clay words I still had and Metals.
I am very glad to be using stuff from my stash....

Smashing Friends
So recently I decided to get into this whole Smash or Journal thing.
I fell in love. At first I was thinking I would just record things as I take pictures, so I have notes and little things I save all in one place for when I scrap later.
Then I started making mini layouts on pages, adding stuff and most importantly getting things DONE. Like I was doing it and it was easy, I didn't have to say ok I am going to make a page now. Nope it just happend and became routine and easy. I was enjoying crafting again. I was slowly finding JOY again.
2012 has been a very hard year. In Sept I lost my dad, followed by a motorcycle accident my orther was in (broken leg only thank god), than a week after the service my mom had a TIA (mini stroke) and the story continues on like that. Thanks to all my good friends and family hleping me get through this all.
Most importantly thanks to my long time friend I met online (in person once) Chris P who always encourages me, picks up my slack when I am just not bring a good friend, loves me as I am. And kicks my butt to stay putting time aside to craft or just enjoy some creative me time. And for suggesting smashbooking/journaling or whatever it was u said that made me pick up that dam book and alter it and get started.

Shinhan Markers Playtime
So The Coloring with Markers and Copics thing has been all the Rave for a while.

Owning a Large Collection of CTMH and SU Markers already I just couldn't Justify getting more Markers.
Then a really awesome sale came along....

So while browsing some blogs I came across this new Forum/Site Funtoolas and these Ladies have some Gorgeous Layouts and some pretty cool challenges. Mostly I do challenges on Blogs when I do them. But I had to jump in here as I was so inspired. One of the Challenges was to Bling it out. Some of the ladies had already entered layouts which I was happy to see, as they made me look outside the box. It was so much fun to add bling and glitter to this Pumpkin Path/Fall Layout. Usually I don't add much to my boys layouts. But I really stretched myself, and pulled out the first set of photos I had. And said your scrapping these make it work. And I am so glad I did. I Luv how this Layout Came out.I had already printed the Frosted Design Sketch for the Week, So I incorporated that into the Layout.
