Pink Paislee Mistletoe and SanTa

Paper is pink paislee mistletoe, man do i love this line. i have enough of this paper to make christmas and 4th of July pictures for the next 25 years! yes, i admit, i have a problem. and no, i am not ready for rehab yet! This was our visit to Santa this year, as you can tell, Ellie was less than impressed. and what a sweet bro, Ben was trying to comfort her.

It has been a long time since my last post. i have been crazy busy. including going to the scrappin ladies retreat in chamberlain. i mainly worked on a birthday gift, but i did get a couple of other things started. i did finish a layout prior to the retreat, i took 10 nights of work. i believe it was well worth it.. the base paper is an orange piece of mme, that i layered music pages on, then covered with jenni bowlin white acrylic paint, and then distressed using tim's distress inks. i glimmer misted the paper and the chipboard faith word. it was a process, and in this process, the cat attacked faith and hence, the rip in the chipboard. i also used utee for the cross, and made a tule flower. then for the pearls, wow! i am loving my vintage jewelry stash.. the picture is of Ellie's hand/bracelet i had made for her baptism.
