OUAS December and SOUS card #2

Good evening to you! How is your week going? Are you all ready for Christmas? I am pretty much on schedule, and have the last minute cooking to do in the next few days.. I have 3 different Christmas balls, cinnamon and honey biscuits, cherry and almond slice (which is my Hubbys fav..) and rocky road in my fridge.. So it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Today however I took some time for me.. to scrap... and as I had just taken some photos of my DD for this Christmas I was itching to use one of those photos and it suited the challenge over on OUAS which is to use this lovely sketch and create using the theme of "It's December".....

The sketch...

and my layout.. I pretty much stuck to the sketch and my journalling says....

   December is.....

         the most wonderful time of the year.. You are on school holidays, then we have Christmas, and on the 28th we celebrate your BIRTHDAY!! Lots of reasons to smile...


some closer views...



I have used the Kaiser Merry and Bright range of papers, the gorgeous big flower is a Manor House with DA and petaloo flowers beside it, the clock chippie is Imaginarim, and the flourish chippie is Twiddleybitz..they are inked with gold..


And the second card sketch is up for SOUS and the sketch looks like this..

and my card looks like this..


 I know it is an extremely busy time for us all, but if you feel like creating and don't have time for a layout, then this is a lovely card sketch to follow...

Thanks so very much for coming by, and thank you for the really wonderful comments you leave me on my blog.. I do appreciate each and every one of them....

And if I don't get to post again before Christmas Day, then I do wish you all a very Merry Christmas filled with love and thankfulness..  and I would love to leave you with one of my favourite verses which sums up Christmas so very well for me...




So from my Family to Yours.....

    Love your beautiful layout too. I'm so envious that you've had time to yourself for scrapping. I think I will have to wait until after Christmas before I can get a chance to sit back down at the desk. :)
