I've noticed in the blogs I've been reading that Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas topic for December 2 was the weather, so I thought I'd share a snapshot of our weather here - sunshine, 60 degrees Fahrenheit, slight breeze = beautiful!
Created a layout based on Creative Scrappers Sketch #132 by Trina McClune. I really like this sketch because it can be used for up to 8 or 9 photos. I chose to use 7 on this layout.
I decided to take the December Challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous to use lots of rub-ons but no patterned paper on this layout. I pulled out these packages of older rub-ons to begin.
The title letters on this layout are stickers, but all the other words and pictures are rub-ons. I used the rub-ons to create a patterned paper look for the two extra squares. (I don't like the way the word "laughter" is so close to the title, but I didn't really notice it until everything was adhered. It still preserves our memory, which is the main thing, right?)
Today's Christmas Decoration Feature - Bunny Outfits
I have four bunnies that my Mama made quite a few years ago. I use these bunnies for home decor items when there are no kids visiting, otherwise they are fun stuffed toys! Throughout the year, they each have an outift to match where they sit in the house - sunflowers for the front room, Dallas Cowboys for the blue & pink guest room, green for the exercise/TV room. However, this month they are wearing their Christmas outfits, all of which Mama also made.
I love all the Christmas material Mama used for these outfits.
(BTW - I'll be back later today with my Weekly Healthy Living Post. I'm off now to get in my exercise for the day.)
That sounds like a perfect Christmas outing - especially with the roast to come home to. Your bunnies are very cute :)
ReplyDeleteIt was 26 degrees this morning when I went to PT - 36 by the time I came home. I would love to have 61!
