Christmas Challenge

How's this for showing off? My Christmas challenge is TWO pages (because we have "two" many kids)! And it adds two more pages to my ongoing unofficial attempt to meet Kristy's challenge for 31 pages in January. You've got to be efficient in crazy times like these!

This is from the kit, "Believe" from ScrapProfessor.com. I made the frames from the included papers.

30 Minute Challenge...plus 10 minutes

I got hung up on the shading for the text, so I went overtime a bit. This is my first time using Christmas papers! The kit is "Joy to the World" from Simply Sarah.

Challenge Layout

Here is my challenge layout finally! Shacone where are you?!

I getting paid to scrapbook! My mom's coworker is having me do her scrapbooks for christmas! I was going to paper scrap them but I just like digital better and couldnt get in the groove. So here are some of the layouts I have done.

Companion to Challenge Page

I couldn't leave it alone. I knew I had this picture that was almost like a 2nd part of the first picture. It only took me about 10 minutes because I made it to match the first and used the same stuff on it. If Rebekah sees this picture, she's going to argue with me that it's her. I lost the same argument over the dandelion picture!

My Challenge Page

Hey! I beat all of you! I wasn't feeling very inspired when I made this page. Hopefully, I'll still like it in a couple of months. It's made from a mixture of odds and ends so I'm not crediting anyone for the papers or embellishments. Just know that I didn't create any of them.

A grandparent I never met

I made this page when I taught a lesson in RS. For this challenge I moved some stuff around and added the black text. I'm a little short on photos of grandparents. My 3rd grandparent died when I was in 2nd grade and the last one the night before I was married.
.
I think I have a photo of Chad's last remaining grandparent, but then I realized that I had this page already 1/2 made!
.
Sure, it goes back a bit, but it's a direct ancestor! Is there a prize for the oldest relative?

CHALLENGE: I was already dizzy, so...

...I used a picture Nathan took. I figured it had to be legal, since he's one of the reasons I'm constantly turning in circles! PLUS, this picture was taken in the room that I would have been in anyway. It all works out! He stood on a table and two stacked couch cushions to get those pictures up there. I'm amazed he didn't tumble.

I used the kit called "Bright n Happy" from Nana's Attic.

I'm here, never fear!

Here's my use of Kristy's template. I have had a hard time sitting at the computer very long. You know how those pregnant joints start acting up. So here is a page. Maybe it won't take me too long to get to the next one.

Challenging challenge!

It took me a little while to figure out the circles.

But I will not be defeated!

One more Top 10

Ok. Here's Chads. Now I'm taking a break from digital scrapbooking for AT LEAST 24 hours!

I am a woman POSSESSED!

Once I started thinking about doing a page for everyone in the family, I had to get to it. Chad's is still in the works.

This is something I can do when I'm tired. I can't crochet or sew...too many mistakes!

I did all these today. I think my rear end is numb.
