Here is my entry. My favorite color is green. I used Rubber Stamps in the title, Metal Brad embellishments, used ink with the rubber stamps, used my newest scrap item which was the cool robot/space paper, used buttons, used markers for my journaling and used chipboard. I had a ton of fun with this challenge. The LO is of my son and the huge mess he made in his room.

Here's mine.
I love the red in this poinsettia die cut and in December, it's always my favorite color. I try to use it in most every Christmas layout, year after year.
The sticker strips at the top and bottom of the photo have been in my stash probably since 1998. All the other embellies are from 2009.
The photo is from Christmas Day with my DS & DDIL (some of you know Mandee). We were freezing our behinds off! Never in a million years did I think I'd ever be having my photo taken in Times Square on Christmas Day. Something about having children that will take you places you never dreamed of.
This is a page from my December Daily album.

Pam, that is beautiful! I just love all the snowflakes, glitter, sparkle, it is so Wintery!
but even more, I love what you said about your children taking you places you never dreamed. That should be turned into a stamp! It is so true at so many levels. I am going to keep that quote and add it to my collection with your name on it, of course!

[Jenni Benni]

Love the LO Pam. Super cute.

[ChristyB]

Pam what a great layout. You look like you are freezing your tushie off and Mandee looks great!
thanks for sharing

You all have such great entries -- I just recycled an old theme.

I used purple with stencils and ribbons and ancient stickers.

I recently acquired a digi copy of this heritage photo of my grandfather as a little boy with his parents and grandmother. Since purple is my favorite color anyway, I decided to add this double LO to my collection of similar family tree layouts. For you genealogy buffs, the Renaissance paper and the crest with the lions rampant is oh-so-perfect for this photo, as my great-grandmother's Ragland/Maynard lines lead into the nobility of the British Isles and to Charlemagne, the Holy Grail of many American genealogists.

Wow, Beth, that photo is a real treasure and the genealogy is amazing.

And I'm impressed that you still have some of that paper and have used the stickers for their intended purpose. I use those stickers on the backs of layouts to hold ribbon and fiber ends down.

[ChristyB]

wow Beth. I love your genealogy layouts. Tp know your own history is a very cool thing.
Oh and as for those stickers. I laid all mine on sheets of cardstock, sanded them down, stamped and embossed over them.

[Jenni Benni]

Nice job Beth.
