Joyous Christmas

Thank you for choosing to spend time this year reading things I wrote, looking at things I made and even taking time to encourage me in my work.  I am always grateful and humbled that you would take time to visit and encourage me when life has so many more pressing and important matters at hand.  So, thank you.

And this Christmas I want to wish you Joy....

You know the happy feeling you get when you're scrapping? (or buying scrapbooking products - heh), Or the feeling you get when people leave nice comments on your blog? Well, this Christmas I wish you more than that...

I want to wish you deep enduring joy, the kind that is not dependent on whether we have our 'scrapping mojo' or how many pieces of patterned paper we have; the kind of joy that remains regardless of our circumstances.

I wish you the Joy that Jesus brings. 

A joyous Christmas to you and all yours.

Love,

Sharon

November Favourite

This album was a favourite in November. And I think its cos everyone had fun making the pages

That flip open like this when you pull the tag at the top

I took this design from an easel card tutorial on youtube which I can't seem to locate now... :(
Modified it to fit the album.

If anybody finds the link, let me know!!

December Days are Happy Days

The Critters had fun in the holidays, watching movies, playing, going on sleepovers:

And generally having a lovely time.  I love seeing them so happy.  Though right now they're kind of stuck at home for a bit...

And here's how us scrap-addicted adults have fun:

This was a class we ran in November and I don't know if it was the happy colours or the sparkly glitter glue rubbed into the canvas, but the classes were all full of fun and laughter.  I had a blast teaching and watching everyone paint stamp and mess around.

We used a foam stamp (Donna Downey flower stamp) and tried to create lots of different effects like:

stamping with white paint then sprinkle clear UTEE while paint is still wet

stamping with white paint then sprinkle yellow embossing powder in the middle

Hope you're enjoying your holidays!!
