Hello there! It's Andrea and today I
want to share with you a fun Holiday-themed 3-to-inspire challenge!
Yay!!!! I can't wait to get started...so let's get to it shall we?! :-) First, check out my layout:
It is Holiday time and for this
challenge I want you to use the following on a fun scrappy layout of your own:
Holiday/Winter themed images ( i.
e. gingerbread men, Christmas trees, snowflakes, deer, snowmen,
mittens, stockings, Santa, etc).
Use pics (more than one) of
special holiday moments
Add a sprinkle of holiday
sparkle...whether that is the use of sequins, gold, stars, glitter,
or all of the above, add a touch of shimmer and shine to your page
to make it festive!
For my layout, I used the absolutely
awesome and adorable December Kinsley Scrapbook Main kit and the Embellishment add on kit! I love these kits! The main kit is filled with beautiful patterned papers and such happy
colors and sweet decorative peices! It is perfect I think for winter and the Holiday season but
doesn't scream holiday...its more subtle and therefore much more
versatile. I loved using it to scrap my Christmas-time experience. The pretty, happy colors really evoke the hopeful holiday feeling I was going for!
I wanted to make a layout that was
about my Holiday season. To be honest, the holidays this year have
lacked their usual luster due to poor health on my part. However, I
am still dreaming of having a beautiful Christmas-time. For this
reason, I thought I would make a layout that would portray the true
feelings that I am having right now about the holidays – that being
that there may only have been a few holiday things that I have been able to
do so far this year, but that each is precious and is all part of a
beautiful picture of hope for the future.
I am dreaming of a healthy,
happy Christmas right now and I am so thankful for the good moments
that I have been able to have so far. These three moments pictured in my
layout held such Holiday happiness...putting deer antlers
on and being silly with the hubby, looking at Christmas magazines
with some apple cider from Starbucks, and actually going to an
outdoor Vintage Holiday Fleamarket for some fun Christmas shopping
when my pain wasn't so bad. They may seem like simple things, but I
think during the holiday hustle and bustle and all the pressures that
come with this time of year, we can often forget what is really
important – the small and simple moments of love and laughter and
beauty!
For your challenge, choose pics of
holiday moments that are special to you right now. What do these
photos say about your Holiday season this year? Try to tell a story
that has a deeper meaning than just
“we had fun”...not that
there is anything wrong with that...but take this opportunity to
really think about what the holidays mean to you right now. I guess
this would be a little bonus challenge...just from me to you! :-)
Remember to use your holiday pics, your
holiday themed images (like the gingerbread man and tree and
snowflake die-cuts I used on my layout), and a
sprinkle of holiday sparkle to complete this 3-to-inspire challenge
(I know I had fun with some sequins and gold and stars myself)!
