Mojo Monday - 2 Months

Another scrapbooking take on a Mojo sketch for this week.

Baby's First Christmas Digital Photo Overlay

Look at this sweet pea! What an exciting time of year for a growing family. I know how excited we are to celebrate with our own little one. This is a custom photo overlay purchased from my Etsy shop. I'm uploading more and more all the time and can create a custom overlay for you, too.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, whether it is your first or your hundredth!

Digital Scrapbook Layout: First Snow for Etsy Inspired and Mercy

So... I've been away from actual paper for a while now. Much easier to work a mouse with a baby in my lap than scissors, you know. This layout is for the Etsy Inspired Challenge and Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge.

Etsy Inspired.... This week's inspiration is Marmar. His little critters reminded me of the holiday critters set I recently purchased from Jessica Sprague by Crystal Wilkerson. I changed his color and added a little heart detail like Marmar's.

Mercy's Tuesday sketch...

This is the beginning of 12 days of sketches. Not sure that I can keep up with that pace. (Actually, I'm quite sure that I can't!) Most of these sketch challenges are designed for card makers, I believe, but they work so well as scrapbook layouts, too.

Splish Splash, Page Maps Layout

This one is for the Page Maps sketch challenge.

It includes papers from the freebie kit at Page Maps site and a brush set from Hawksmont.

The little one is keeping me very busy these days. I hear him stirring now! :)

Digital Scrapbook Layout : 1month for Mojo

So... this layout really did start out following the sketch, I promise. :) It just needed - more - you know? So it grew, and grew and grew. But I am pretty happy with the results. Of course, I'm pretty happy with any picture of my little cutie pie. I left out the picture when I uploaded for safety's sake. Maybe I'm paranoid. Too many episodes of Law & Order and Oprah, I guess. But, you get the idea... just missing out on the cutest part.

The "today & always" title work is Jessica Sprague, the paper is a freebie from long ago, and the calendar is my design.

We had snow today. So fantastic! Hope you are schnoogled up under a blanket somewhere cozy!

I would like to share::: I would like to share my favorite paper item with you-- I love making custom cards. When someone needs a custom card- I talk with them about the card and the sentiment, plus I get to know who the card will be sent to. I like to ask what their favorite color is...sport...food...hobbies...birthday...tv show...etc. I then sit down and create a layout with papers and stamps...I love when someone makes me feel special and loved--so when I get to do this for others, it makes me very HAPPY:)

I would like to share my centaur print in celebration of winter approaching. My centaur finds a small rabbit in a snowstorm and gives her new friend a warm new home.

12 Days of Christmas Interviews: Day 11

{I will always remember...}

TIFFANY BURKS
I will always remember decorating our Christmas tree with my mother. It was huge tree and we sent all day decorating. My mom loves tinsel, tinsel sticks to everything we would get tinsel all through the house.

I love getting together for the holidays with my family up in Indiana. My mom comes from a family with 13 kids--so we always had fun getting together. I loved it when a "holiday" came around---everyone would gather at Granny's house with a homemade dish (mom always brought Taco Blend), and we would play outside on the farm or run around the house...tag...football....softball....we would even play card games until late late late in the night! My favorite thing about getting together was when someone left. Everyone (I mean EVERYONE) would stand in front of the window facing the road and wave until that car passed. Sometimes the cars would back up and wave again! LOVE IT!

I will always remember going down to Florida for the holidays so that I could spend both Chanukah and Christmas with both sets of grandparents. I particularly remember the first year we drove down, and Florida was hit by a snowstorm! We ended up stuck on several highways for hours and even sleeping at a temporary Red Cross shelter. I know that may be a strange way to start a favorite holiday memory, but the difficulty of getting there made me appreciate spending the time with my grandparents (and out of the cold!) even more.
