How fitting today! Snow! Winter Scrapbook Page

Hi again, today I'm posting another scrapbook page.  The picture is from 3 years ago...and my kids look so little!  They LOVE the snow and that's a good thing because about 3 inches of the white, fluffy stuff fell here last night and about 5-7 inches more are predicted for tomorrow morning.  I feel that if it's going to be cold, then it may as well snow so my kids can enjoy it.  They've been waiting for weeks to pull on their snow boots.  I know what they'll be doing when they come home from school today!

I started with the sketch from the current challenge over at the GO Fish challenge blog.  Found some great paper from the DCWV Holiday stack (love the greens!), pulled out my Cricut and cut the "winter" word art and the squirrel.  Couldn't help giving the squirrel a pink hat...to match my daughter's pink jacket in the picture.  :-)

Merry and Bright Scrapbook Page

Hi everyone!  I thought I'd be crafting and posting more, and I had the BEST intentions, but it just doesn't always work out like you plan.  You know what I mean??  I have piles of photos I'd love to scrap....and here are a few I managed to get on the page while the moments were still fresh in my mind.  :-)

I've had the Jolly Holidays cartridge for over a year now (I HAD to get one!!) and just opened it to make the elves for this page.  Aren't they cute?  I added some glitter and doodling to spice 'em up a bit.  The journaling is written directly on the page...something I've tried a few times before and like to do.  The title "Merry and Bright" is from the Winter Frolic cartridge.  Hope your holidays were Merry and Bright too!
