Busy December...

This month I have been super busy with blog hops, traveling and Christmas shopping! But I always have time for some crafting!!!! :) I finally have time to post...

These layouts are all for challenges on Colorful Creations:If you like challenges, check Colorful Creations out! They have a handful of different types of challenges posted all month long!

I made this card last minute for my scrap buddies in California! :)

This layout was for Back Porch Memories' Guest Designer challenge. I didn't win :( But I had a fun time trying!
This layout is for SisterhoodofScraps. The challenge was to scraplift one of your favorite from their gallery. I lifted this layout from Carla.

I'm hoping to get more projects done by the end of the year... we will see!
Happy scrappin' and Merry Christmas!

It has been a very busy week trying to get ready for Thanksgiving! I am very proud of my daughter, Victoria, who will be marching in the Macy's Parade on Thanksgiving in NY and will be playing at Carnegie Hall the Sunday after Thanksgiving! So with all the excitement getting ready, I still found time to do what I love to do... scrap! So here we go.......

This LO is for a new inspirational blog - Get Picky --->

Happy Scrappin' and I will see you after the Holiday! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and try not to eat too much! lol ;)
