Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Happy Holidays

After Christmas dinner, my brother finally was able to get PJ to interact with him.  He laughed his head off every time he was lifted upside down.

The title is from Winter Frolic

Tiny green tree is from Art Philosophy

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Deck the Halls

After HUNTING all day looking for my 2009 pages, once I found them I noticed there were a few pages that didn't get into this blog yet...this is one of them.

This particular year, he was a little more cooperative with the tree and with posing in front of it, hence the page.  The stars are glittered and the paper is shiny...none of which would photograph correctly.

Heading and stars are all from Winter Frolic and glitter is Martha Stewart

Scrapbook layout - 2009 The Stockings were Hung AND Holiday Hugs

Here's 2 layouts from 2009 Christmas:

BOO - I see that I haven't done my journalling on this page....ARRGH. The individual stockings are from the Jolly Holidays cartridge and the title is from Winter Frolic,  The grey cuts are shiny ... but you can't tell from the photos.

This one's title is also from Winter Frolic and the single poinsettia is from Joys of the Season.  Again, the grey paper is shiny, but not showing up.  This was the 1st and only year PJ cooperated in having his photo taken with all family members.

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 Merry & Bright

Here's a layout that was done completely with my stash!  WOO HOO!

This is from 2009 Christmas - day at our house (1st page) and then dinner at my parent's place (2nd page).  Its pretty basic since I took a lot of photos that year....that and I needed to cover as much of the red poinsettias as possible (I'm not a fan of red).  OOPS - I just noticed that I haven't got journaling on the 2nd page.

The "Merry & Bright" and the "A Very Merry Christmas" are both from Winter Frolic

Cricut Circle Christmas Recipe layout Swap

I wasn't going to sign up for this challenge, but I thought it would be nice to get some new recipes and having them on interesting layouts was a bonus.  Since I was done the Christmas card swap...I did sign up for this one.  I had to make 20 of the following layouts.

Cricut cartridges used: background (Elegant edges); file card (From my Kitchen); Title (Quarter Note); Trees (Winter Frolic).  Everything was inked on the edge in brown (including the white background..  The dot on the 'i' is a gem.  The small tree is popped up.
