Michelle's Challenges

One of our traditions every year is to give the boys holiday jammies on Christmas Eve. We take photos of them in front of the tree that night, and then again on Christmas morning at the top of the stairs before they come down to see what Santa brought.



One of my favorite ways to create pages right now is to go through my stash searching for embellishments in the color scheme I am using, and keep laying them onto my page until it looks done. For this challenge, I want you to embellish. Layer it on thick; the more embellies, the better!


And here's a hint for adhering: once you get an arrangement that you like, keep everything in place and lift only one item at a time and stick it down. Curl back photos and larger papers and run a strip of adhesive. Use glue dots and adhesive squares to tack down items carefully without disturbing the rest of your layout. I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy New Year! I love the sound of those three words, the promise they bring and the chance at new beginnings. New Year's is filled with many traditions: the toasting of champagne, lists of resolutions, parties, confetti, hats and horns, and for us, New Year's always means Chinese Food! This LO is of my oldest experiencing his very first fortune cookie.

And the sketch to go with it:

So many of the holidays we celebrate center around food. So my challenge to you is an easy one: use at least one photo of food on your LO.
