More Sketches - Let's Get Sketchy

Slipping into Scrapbooking mode again.

I am still on my CAS journey,

I just find I am a many faceted being... I get distracted.

I get excited and I am inspired.

I was looking at some layouts and decided

to make one today.

One of my favorite memories of spending time over the summer

with family.

My nephew Ian looking on in wonder

as Conrad and his older brother Aiden

get to ride the

"Big Kid's Ride."

I love how you can see Conrad and Aiden looking back at us pretty clearly!

Supplies:

Echo Park Here and There Kit, Today's Story

Darice Baker's Twine, Doodlebug Dots

December Daily Album 2012

And the excitement of it all:

The cookies were actually good.

I have not had my phone very long. So I have not really played with taking videos. I couldn't locate the flip fast enough, so I took a clip of mom reading Twas the Night Before Christmas. Of course it was sideways when I viewed it... Whooops.

I did get a few pictures so I was thrilled to add this one to my album.

Time to see who's naughty or nice.

The shelf elf's will report back to Santa tonight.

The bottom of this picture is all the presents wrapped up!

Love the shelf elves.

(Thanks Charlene and Ro!)

We went to the Crystal Creek Cafe today for a late lunch - early dinner.

It was quiet and nice.

The prime rib dip and fries hit the spot.

I enjoyed a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie ala mode.

Conrad celebrated his "official" one year birthday from the date we adopted him on Friday.

He loved it.

All the attention, the cake, blowing out the candle, and just having a special time with all of us around.

Today I wanted out of the box. The journaling box that is.

so I pinted the same size as the photos and journaled within.

The pie page is adhered to a few inches of transparency large dot paper.

Day 20 of the December Dailys.

If you are looking here, you too are intrigued by the every day magic that leads to Christmas. I love to look at other December Daily posts just for a peek at every day magical moments and just sigh a big sigh knowing that others are enjoying this season as well.
So I am thankful.

I have a few typos, and you know..I let them slide.
I like that sometimes.

I hope that you are enjoying this season.

Tonight after Karate, the long way home Bellevue Way to Kirkland, the stop at the house with the large wreath on the roof!.. Well you can't see it in this photo..

Sparkly bling -a-bling!

Card making at least 2 a week.
Karin's Cookies arrived, wow, these will disappear fast! ...Oh Scott took them and hid them from me!

Red Glitter!

Sweet boy. Homework first. That's the ticket!

Cookie Exchange for Scouts:

Dinner at the Olive Garden with my sweet boys.
Scott says when his family sees this, they will think he looks like a poor homeless man.. Well, he does need a trim
- all over. But to me, he looks just terrific.
It is a great night!

Some journaling.

I love this photo of my little helper.

Growing up right before our eyes.

A wonderful surprise visit from a little Angel.

Sometimes something small is a miracle.

Sights around the house

December Daily is documenting the days to Christmas.
Here is what I have so far, I have added one journal page so you can see that on the left hand side (or back sides) of the pages, they are fully journaled, though I haven't added them all here. (yay on getting them mostly done...though not all are completed..

Absolutely love the felt fluffy stars with silver

December Daily 2012

December Daily - 25 Days of December.

After Trick or Treating, I completed my 25 days of December Templates!

My goal this year is to focus is the storytelling of the events.

Highlighting on the journaling and photos of the 25 days of Christmas. I love my last year mini album, however I spent way too much time coordinating the pages with the photos and I realized that I lost track of what happended and when.

This year, I wanted to design a preset layout and theme and really get the stories in.

This year, a vintage feel.

This and That Paper Kit $14.99

Layout Design Inspiration: Kimber of Bean Talk (all about Jillybean Soup) Did a tutuoral on the December Daily Album for 2010. I fell in love with her design and altered it for my 5x7 layout.

The Jillybean papers she used on this tutorial layout are just fabulous!

TheBean Talk blog has added a few new designers like Danni Reid, I am a big fan of Danni Reid's card! So visit the blog! You will not be disappointed.
