Playing Catch Up

I got super busy and didn't have a chance to post my 25 Days Until Christmas pages.  So, here they are...

7. What's your favorite holiday tradition?



8. What's on the top of your tree?



9. Do you have a nativity displayed through the holidays?



10.Candy Canes, traditional or flavored? Or Chocolate Covered Cherries?


I've mixed some art journal pages with some digital pages.  I'm having fun answering these questions and just playing with different techniques and ideas. I think I get into a bit of a rut sometime -- defining the term "scrapbook layout" very narrowly.  It's memory keeping after all and I'm loving getting all my Christmas thoughts together even though I don't have the photos to support them.  Plus, the 8.5x11 landscape size is not my normal choice, so it's stretching my brain, which I really appreciate.  And, to tell the truth, it feels like it has been a really long time since I've scrapbooked just for me -- you know nothing for a design team, a challenge, a magazine call or whatever.  So, I'm enjoying creating imperfect pages and ignoring all those good sense design rules and just playing with my stuff!

Finally, I just want to bring your attention to the fact that Craft Critique is hosting a huge holiday blog carnival.  If you'd a link to your blog, simply send an e-mail to melissa@craftcritique.com. 

From Melissa: All links must be in by December 18th at 10pm CST to be included in the carnival. Please provide links to specific posts, or to a search or label of all your holiday projects. And feel free to email if you have any questions about how all this works.

Thanks for stopping by!
