Christmas Scrapbooking

Scrapbook pages I’ve done from our Christmas gathering last weekend, and another miscellaneous one. 

The following layouts were done for challenges at Just Art Scrapbooking.  The challenge forum is here:  https://forum.justartscrapbooking.com/forums/december-2021-challenges.137348/

I used the O’Scraps Collab, Home for the Holidays, which is not in the store yet.  It was the daily download through the 12 Days of December event earlier this month.





 

This layout was done using the following items from 52 Inspirations 2021:

52 Inspirations 2021 No 02 New Hope Scrapbook Kit by Vicki Stegall
52 Inspirations 2021 No 45 Bootiful Halloween Clipping Masks by et designs
52 Inspirations 2021 No 51 Tis the Season Add-on Happy Holiday Alphas by Vicki Robinson Designs
52 Inspirations 2021 No 52 So Merry Papers by Joyful Heart Design


 

This layout was done using the following items from the Fab Friday Color Play (mini O’s) by emeto designs:

Snow Bears word art
Snow Bears papers
Snow Bears elements
Snow Bears clusters part 2

Snow Bears clusters part 1

Day 4 Journaling Challenge at O'Scraps

We had a journaling challenge at O'Scraps today.  We had to include at least 4 lines of journaling about a holiday memory.  Here's what I came up with:

Journaling reads: Christmas 1979 holds a precious memory in my heart of a time when mom and dad were still with us. Also I was due to have my first child on December 27th of that year. I was huge! Our family joked with my dad about who would have a baby first, him or me. I don’t know who had the idea of getting this picture but I’m thankful to have it for the sweet memory. Jessica did not arrive until January 2nd. Many years later she had a picture of herself and her dad taken like this when she was pregnant.

Silent Trees

Journaling:
I find sweet peace in depths of autumn woods,
Where grow the ragged ferns and roughened moss;
The naked, silent trees have taught me this -
The loss of beauty is not always loss!
