Keep it Coming

Hi everyone!  I’ve been out running errands all morning.  Had to go to the allergist for environmental testing first thing this morning.  Nik had it done last week, and the poor little thing is allergic to everything and needs to start allergy shots.  She’s worried about all those injections, so I told her I would get tested myself and take the shots with her.  We’re going to be shot buddies.  I’ve needed to do this myself for years and have been putting it off, so this was an easy decision.  It was just the push I needed. So now we are both tested and ready to get started.  And although it’s not pleasant, it’s much nicer to go through it all with someone. Then we hit a few stores, and I must say I’m surprised that it was not a complete mad house out there.  I did hear some angry honking in the parking lots, though, so I know we must be near the holidays!

And now that we’re settled back at home, I’m excited to share more of my latest scrappy projects.  First of all, my holiday project tutorial has been posted in the classroom at Webster’s Pages community blog site, inspireME.  Here’s a small peek.

You can find the full project and all the instructions here.

And I also have another project to show that I made with my December kit from Paper-Playground.

I am diggin’ my little outfit I had on!  Check out those groovy sunglasses.  I don’t remember a single detail of this trip to the snow, but I love how I looked!  And how young and hip my dad looked, too.

This page really came together quickly and easily.  I just layered the MM flocked rouge Paperie paper over the ivory cardstock and trimmed the side with a thin strip of dark green Christmas Magic paper.  I added a chunk of the die-cut snowflakes, a wide band of that beautiful checked May Arts ribbon with a big bow, and a few Kaiser pearls.  A simple date title and one journaling strip are the finishing touches.  Now if I could only remember something from this trip!

Oh well.
