News+Give Away+Daily Project=Dec 2nd

News + Give Away:

This month over at The Scarlet Lime Kit Club, you can find our new Artsy Urban collection among the papers and embellishments.

I spoke to Christy and she gladly gave us one of her kits for a GIVE AWAY this week!

Wasn't that so nice of her?! AND isn't this kit GORGEOUS!


Here are two layout by her contributing December Team.

  4. and one lucky girl at random will be picked

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dec 2nd project:

Christmas is all about...

Christ, family, food, gifts, giving and CHRISTMAS CARDS!

Just about everyone sends out a "family Christmas card"... with a sweet family photo tucked inside. Why do we do this??? It's a fun update of our family...right?!

Most of the time "we scrappers", scrap Christmas morning photos and being with family & friend, but we often forget to scrap about our "Christmas card photos".

Tips:

  1. This year take the time to scrap your Christmas card photos.
  2. Tell the story behind it.
  3. Was it an easy photo to come by?
  4. or a hard photo to come by?
  5. Did you match every ones clothes?

It's these little moments that are easy forgotten and should be documented.

  1. Woo Hoo! Such a great kit! I am really excited this December beacuse I was laid off from my job (that's not the exciting part), which is giving me time to be with my family and really enjoy the holidays, and savor each and every moment! That IS the exciting part! :-)

  3. Gorgeous kit; I'll check out the club asap.

    What I'm most excited about this December is the look on my little son's face everytime he gets to explore some new part of the holidays. Right now, we're working on understanding some decorations are just for looking; while others are safe to touch. He's starting to "get" Santa; and the more spiritual aspects of the holidays as well. His wonder and delight make it all worthwhile.

  7. I Love This Kit! It is beautiful.
    What I am excited about this december is having my family all home for the holidays. Our family has been away from eachother for 9 years and we have finally reconnected. Under no circumstances should anything come between you and family. A Family is a one of the strongest bonds in life and no one should break that. I am so glad everyone knows how to forgive. This December will be about making new memories with our family.

  15. What I'm excited about this December is that I'll actually have presents to unwrap at my birthday and Christmas! DH and I have not been giving each other presents which means that I can buy for myself but it means no presents to unwrap which can be depressing. I bought myself something so he could wrap it and give it to me. We're sad, I know! LOL!
