Christmas preparations

Well today is the last day of work before Christmas break starts.  As I'm writing, I'm watching the kids watch Mickey's twice upon a Christmas with a bowl of popcorn.  A great way to start another Christmas party!  I love this time of year.  The kids are so happy, anticipating Christmas morning and all the treats they are going to enjoy.  I feel so blessed and happy.
Let me now share a few layouts I made since I last posted. 

Today was reveal day over at Let's Capture our memories.  Here is what I created with sketch no 163:



Last week's reveal featured sketch no 162.  I loved this sketch and I had the perfect picture and paper to use it with!  I love this kid!


And here is another layout I made inspired by LCOM's 12 days of Christmas preparations challenges.  We had to use a house element on our layout.  I used window :)  I used some Simple stories paper and wanted small pieces to make the banners on the side but did not want to cut into my 12X12 paper, so I used the title sheet, the packaging.  Love the fact that they are glossy as well.  Matches with my daughter's shining personality :)



On that note, hope you all have a very merry Christmas and  Happy holidays.  wishing you all the best for the coming year!!
