Santa Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have a cute Christmas layout to share. These are pics of my girls and my nephews with Santa in 2012. Its a tradition for my brother (and his wife) and I (and Adam) to take all 4 of our kids to get their pictures with Santa every year ever since my oldest nephew was born we always go to the same Santa. Last year he wasn't there :( we were kinda bummed and unfortunately, for some reason, we didn't do all 4 kids together and I think it had something to do with us not being able to get our schedules to work together. So anyway, here is my Santa layout.

I used DCWV stacks (Candy Cane Lane, Storybook Christmas, and Christmas & Winter Card Stock) to make this layout. The tags have burlap twine tied on them and the title is Thickers. I think my favorite thing about this layout is the Santa card in the middle of the pics because it fits with Harmony crying so well LOL.

I'm entering this layout into the following challenges:

Scrap Around the World - November Mood Board

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Smooth Sailing

Hey everyone.. wow yet again I have neglected my blog lol. Unfortunately, I won't be back into the regular swing of blogging for some time still. I just happened to have some time to write today. I've been busy with miss 4 year old and miss 2 (almost 3 and it breaks my heart) year old.. and redoing my craft room.. again!

Adam just finished making my desk a few months ago and stuff was going good... (the room wasn't complete yet) until I found a deal on craigslist and HAD to have it. So I got a super deal on white cube storage (about $4 per cube). I asked Adam to redo my room/ his office .. even though just months ago he said "are you sure this is how you want it? Because once it's done.. its done! And I will not be re doing anything you decide later you don't like"... well I asked anyway and he decided that my new idea was much better. So needless to say the room is a mess and I can't get to anything pretty much. And for the next few weeks it's only gonna be worse lol.

So today I have a little card I made real quick. The sailboat and anchor are both from Life's A Beach and were cut with my expression 2. The circle and scalloped circle are both from Cricut Craft Room Basics and were also cut with the expression 2. I embossed the red circle with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder. After I adhered all of the parts onto the circles I put the entire sailboat in the circle on a pop dot. I ran some red velvet ribbon around the card and over the velvet ribbon some burlap twine which goes around twice and has a cute little bow. I hand wrote the sentiment.

I'm entering this card into the following challenge:

Hope you like my card!
