Christmas Highlight Part 4

Thanks to all of you that visited each of these four days. I enjoyed posting some of my holiday joys with you. Today is the last day and I will be sharing some scrapbook layouts I did over the last few days and weeks. Each  page includes some hidden journaling and that was fun thinking of where to put them.

Here goes!

Made the bow out of that beautiful glitter paper.






I added the tissue paper to make this look like a gift bag.

These glitter letters actually came off a gift bag and it was fun using it on a page.
 

Love making more of these tulle flowers.

A friend made a pocket layout for her holiday cards and I wanted to try it too. Great way to save those precious cards from family and friends.

Hope you enjoyed these layouts and my holiday highlights. Have a marvelous day!

    I love that you did one in blue as well as the traditional. For me blue is a traditional Christmas color as well. My hubby is colored blind (red and green lights all look like clear) so he loves to have blue lights around, so I have accepted that as part of our Christmas tradition. Your layouts are just wonderful. You and DH take wonderful photos, and it looks like you two really enjoyed yourself this holiday season.

    Beautiful layouts!!!
    Each layout has its own special unique look to them, but all equally stunning.

    I hadn't seen the NOEL page or your Christmas card pocket page. They are just as fabulous as the other pages. I love the tissue paper sticking out of the gift bag.

      I also love the non-traditional color background.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
