Christmas in...August??

I was going through the pics on my computer yesterday, seeing what needed to be moved where, and I came across the ones of my oldest at her preschool Christmas party. The quality is absolutely horrible, but I don't even notice, all I can focus on is that smile. Pure happiness!! She was so excited that Santa was coming, and it was the first party she had had a school. So I decided that it was time to get them on a page.


I tried to kinda step out of my comfort zone on this one. I thought these Jenni Bowlin papers were fun for this page. Even though they aren't Christmas themes, I thought the red and black went nicely with the photos. I threw in a little Crate Paper, Girl's Paperie...which I think all coordinates nicely together. I am actually really happy with the way this layout turned out...its kinda busy, which isn't my norm at all, but I love it. :)

I used the 7.28 sketch from Sketchy Thursdays and I am also entering this in the workout at ScrapFit "Put a Banner on it"

I would also like to share this layout I did awhile page using a PageMaps sketch. I can't seem to find the sketch that I used, but I got it off of the SCT Blog.


I just noticed that this is crooked...hmm...hopefully its just the photo and not the actual layout! LOL!

I am so in love with the color combo right now!

The papers are all from MME, alphas Studio Calico.


Hope everybody has a very blessed Wednesday!

    How fun you used those photos on that first one and I really like the papers you picked. The colors on the second one are great too.

    What a beautiful Christmas layout, the photos are SO cute with Santa and your daughter :-D
    I just love your banner, what a great idea using diecuts and Christmas buttons for it. I have never seen that before, maybe I should lift the idea?
    Thanks for working out with us at ScrapFIT :-D

    That Christmas page is fab! I've been into busy stuff lately too I suppose and I LOVE this! Cool mix! And the second page - those layered scallops are nice! I notice stuff about my pages all the time after I've photographed them.

    Your LOs are beautiful, Amanda. I struggle with LOs, so I tend to avoid making them…I am on 2005, I believe ;)

    I am your newest follower and fan!
