Let's Get Back to Blogging!

Its been quite some time since I did some blogging, but now that the holidays are over I am ready to *strive* (my one word for the year) to blog more often. I have so much to say about scrapping, Project 365 and life as a working Mom. I hope that you enjoying reading my blog!!


GRAMMY'S DECORATIONS



I did this layout for the December Monthly Sketch Challenge over at sb.com and used a sketch from SKETCH SAVVY


Here are some 'insider' tips on making this layout:
~~~ The white paper is actually from a layout I tore apart. I was able to strategically place the circle, photos and other components of the layout to disguise most of it
~~~ For the flower border (btwn the yellow and red strip) I did not use the whole 12x12 element sticker border. I only used about 3 inches!!
~~~ The bow had HUGE ugly white circles on it so I just flipped it over and added some inking to make it match the layout more
