Everyone is welcome to participate, all entries due by December 15.

My first layout is based on Amy's amazing sketch:

"Mother"
Using the MK only.

During Joseph and Rachel's wedding ceremony, they came down to greet and honor each mother with a rose. This photo is of us embracing during that moment. 

This kit is so full of amazing embellishments from the gorgeous red ribbon and gold bow to the fabulous poinsettia's and large red flower and so much more. The roses were created with cardstock included in the kit. The only thing I added was mixed media products, cardboard packaging and a length of webbed ribbon. Everything else is from the main kit. 

"Sledding"
Using the December MK, EAO, and FAO Kits.

An older photo of our son sledding. We lived in North Carolina back then, and it was a real treat to come to Ohio for Christmas and get to go sledding. 

Tip ~ Three of these gorgeous snowflake brads are silver, which didn't show up quite as well as I would have liked on this background, so just a touch of white paint, and they were perfect. 

I used the Once Upon a Sketch November Challenge for inspiration. My journaling is on the tag tucked behind the photo and says, "Each year we traveled to Ohio to be with family for Christmas. You always hoped it would snow so Grandpa Sabella would take you sledding at the East Canton driving range."


"Sweet Angel"
Using the MK, EOA, and FAO kits.

Another older photo of our daughter, Elizabeth. Our children were in a Christmas play, and she was one of the littlest and sweetest angels there. 

Tip ~ I often cut out the paper behind my larger layers to use on other parts of my layout. One of my flags and the leaves were cut from the background paper taken from behind the large center paper strip. 

I will be posting a tutorial on how I created these angels with the Fabscrap chipboard included in the EAO kit, so if you would like to learn how to create some of your own, be sure to come back in December for my tutorial.

I selected the title "Sweet Angel" for the Bird is the Word "Sweet" Challenge. All of the gorgeous papers and pearl "berries" are from Kaisercraft, and I was inspired by the November #1 Sketch at Kaisercraft for this page:
