P.J. Pictures

Hello, Scrappy Friends! I'm here for a second time this week because Michelle and I traded spots. :)

Do you have a Christmas Pajama tradition at your house? I know that a lot of families do. :) It's so funny! Every year, my kids get sooooo excited that they get to open one present on Christmas Eve. That is . . . until they rip open the box and remember that mom & dad always give them a new pair of PJ's every year. LOL! What a deflating moment. :) Hehehehe! They get over it soon enough, though. Then they happily put them on and pose for a few snapshots. Traditions! Gotta love 'em!

A memorable Christmas ornament

Come over to the Tree Trimmery Shop to see how I made this little frame Christmas ornament (made with the Dear Santa kit- sold out). I would love to have one of these every few years to show the growth of my kiddos!
Don't forget to check out our virtual Cookie Exchange going on this week in Mrs. Claus' Kitchen!

Santa Stop Here Sign

Hi there! It's Jana again! Back to show you one more project I just finished up for the Santa's Workshop forum.



This week, I created a decoration that you could create for your home. This is a door hanger sign that I made out of a wood plaque from the Dollar Tree.





I used a card sketch by Juliana Michaels for my design . . . gotta LOOOOVE sketches for saving time during the holidays! :) Everything is from the Dear Santa kit (sold out) except for the October Afternoon Mini Market Letters, the pearls (Zva Creative) and the Shimmerz Pixie Dust Blingz paint (from my stash).

Thanks for coming by!

Night Before Christmas

Do you know what is really getting me in the mood for Christmas this year? :) Pulling out some snapshots and scrapping them with my Dear Santa kit (sold out)! Really! I know I should be wrapping presents, but I can't resist scrapping a page here-and-there.

Each Christmas Eve after the kids have unwrapped their new pajamas from mom and dad and put them on, and after they've set out the milk and cookies for Santa, they always gather around the computer with my husband to check on Santa's whereabouts on the NoradSanta.org site. It's fun to see where Santa is in the world and always helps the kids feel that extra urge to get to bed! :)




Page inspired by the 12.10 sketch by Sketchy Thursdays.

Enjoy your week!

Lil' Gift Box.....and a crooked tree....

Have you been over to Santa's Workshop on the Message Board lately? There are some incredible ideas for Christmas there that you definitely want to check out!! I've included this little box! I've altered it using the Dear Santa kit, a couple of jingle bells and a button. Wouldn't this be a cute way to give some jewelry to the recipient? I just tore my scraps and Modged Podged them to the box. I outlined the perimeter with Stickles and then sprinkled mica flakes on top. The snowflake is by Spellbinders and I did airbrush it with the die cut still on it. I love the contrast of the blue and white!

I added my button, jingle bells, and lil' tag!
The next LO was created for this week's challenge: Merry & Bright, which means holiday & BLING. Except my LO ran into a few snags.............Do you want to see a cockeyed tree? Well.....here it is! I had this idea to make a large tree....spent quite a bit of time dressing it up, adding layers and such only to realize it was a wee bit crooked. By the time I realized it....it was pretty late. So I guess the cockeyed tree is staying. : ) I used Noel's Dear Santa kit for this one as well! I used last year's picture of us with Santa. Surprisingly everyone turned out pretty well!

Here are those "vintage" snowflakes! Tutorial HERE if you are interested!



May your Christmas tree be straight and your day bright! : )



Dear Santa...

This layout was done using the "dear santa" kit (sold out). This was done for the newest challenge.

the journaling is on the back of this layout and can be read < a href="http://meocracy.blogspot.com">here.

My poor baby girl....she was sweating bullets that she has been bad this year and she wasn't going to get any presents. She has been pretty rough this year but i am sure santa is going to bring her everything she wants ;)

Be sure and check out the awesome ideas we have going on the Santa's Workshop thread here. If you have ideas or something you would like to share please feel free to add it up in the thread.

See you next week.
