HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!

CHERRIES JUBILEE is one of Kiki Halbert's latest paper sets. It sounds so yummy that I kept wanting to eat chocolate while I was working on it. I also used her LUCIOUS GLITTER FOURISHES in creating this layout. It all reminded me of a princess, which is how the title for my layout developed.

Both these sets are beautiful and lots of fun to work with. I think you will see them here again in another layout. In the meantime, just click on the preview and go to PlainDigital Wrapper to see more about them now.


Here is my beautiful princess at a tea party. She sent this picture to show me that she has lost a tooth. She is growing up so fast!

WINTER WONDERLAND and BLUE BAYOU are the two kits I chose to create my winter scene. I have several winter photos and this one seemed perfect for these kits. You can click on the previews of either one to be able to find out more about them at Plain Digital Wrapper.




I watched the squirrels gathering nuts all fall as they prepared for winter. This fellow seems to be quite content having a snack and watching the snow.


This paper set is called HOLIDAY BRUCH and has some of the most beautiful papers you will ever see. There are two satins in it that I am anxious to work with soon. I went more rustic with this layout. The kit has that kind of range--something for everyone. You can click on the preview to see more about it at Scrapbook-Elements. While you are therec check out the other kits I included in this layout: GLIMPSE OF TWILIGHT, DAMASK ROSE, and SANDY COVE.


We went for a nice long country drive last fall and discovered an area that has all kinds of old farm equipment on display. This wagon was on the side of the road.

Notice any new things?

I have added some blinkies to show my support for friends and activities around the digiscrapping world. Hope you enjoy them. They are fun to create.

I have a couple of layouts to share. I used a kit from Designz by Kristi, called, OCEANSIDE. Just click on the preview to go to Sunshine Studio Scraps and get a closer look at all the details.




First is one showing Dan and Gracie walking, hand in hand across the beach. It is such a sweet picture that I couldn't wait to see it in a layout.Now I want to share one of my favorite layouts so far, and it was made using this kit.

Next is an adorable and extremely versatile kit by Polka Dot Plum. They are also located at Sunshine Studiio Scraps and Scrap Orchard. You can click on the preview to get more details about THE QUIRKY CROW. Don't you love the name? It is named for an antique store where one of the designers has visited often.
And now the layout I created from this kit. I call it Leigh, after my daughter. This was taken just before a Christmas party. Once you see the kit, the many, many possibilities for using it will surprise you.

Perfect for those winter photos


This beautiful paper BLUE BAYOU comes with an add on set called FOILED FLAKES. What more could you want to create those winter pictures of the family in the snow. So many possibilities! Click on the preview to see more about this kit created by Kiki Halbert Designs and available to you at Plain Digital Wrapper.


I love the way my layout took shape. In the winter of 2003, I visited Oregon. It snowed so much that my rental car was stuck in the driveway for three days. Everyone there was thrilled to see snow, as they seldom get it. Being from the midwest, I declined all their requests to come out amd make a snowman.

Sunshine Studio Scraps presented another group of challenges this week. One of them was to create a page using a template they provided.

Tlhis layout was made with Polka Dot Plum's new kit, ASHLEA BROOKE.
