Nov. 2018 Christmas products challenge

[pamcook]

Once we get to mid October, I feel like time flies by at warp speed. It’s the time of year that I pull out all my Christmas scrapbook supplies to sort & purge. Following up on my current use it or lose it challenge, I thought it would be fun to issue this challenge.

Use your Christmas supplies to create a non-Christmas scrapbook page (or card, ATC, travelers notebook, art journal page - whatever).

If your supply of Christmas items is low, let me know. I’d be very happy to send some your way!

Every year, I swear that I will not buy another Christmas
stamp or die. And every year, when I see the new
products, I cave. I probably have enough Christmas
themed products to run a store

Right there with you!

I'll see what I can do "out of the box". This might be a good time to clean out my Christmas stuff and donate it to the Boys and Girls club so they have it for Christmas.

Hmmm, as you know Pam I am a fan of these 'out of the box' challenges with product, but every idea I'm thinking of really is Christmas-related, even if indirectly. Like the photos I have from set last night, where we decorated main street for our current Christmas movie. That's a page for my work album.
Okay, I do have one thought: years ago I landed my balloon on a golf course and would swear I saw Santa Claus golfing. This jolly-looking big-bellied guy complete with red golf shirt and pants, snow white beard and jaunty tam on his head was just teeing up; even though I wasn't a scrapper then I can't imagine I wouldn't have taken his picture. So if/when I come across it, I'll scrap it on Christmas paper for my ballooning album.

Edited to say, I love the idea of sorting/purging your Christmas supplies before the holiday, when someone else might actually be interested in receiving them.

The dark blue paper is from an Echo Park winter collection and the little starburst stamps are from Shimelle’s 2015 Christmas stamp set.

Great job!!

I'll eventually get back to scrapping after this craft fair.... and then look out... lots of layouts are waiting to be created!!

I haven't scrapbooked in ages but my
son and grandson went hiking in Banff
National Park in Alberta, Canada this past week
and the photos they have been posting are fantastic
and I really want to scrap them all.
Beautiful scenery and snow all over the place,
and I'm sure I have Winter papers to put
them on

Pam, I love this page. I really like your paper choices.
Elizabeth, I hope we get to see those Banff pages soon.
