What are you working on (in December 2024)?

[Cristina]

I wanted to browse other threads, but I don't have the time now to review each post.  The paper workshop is one of them.   I'll do this after the holidays.

I finished another layout from my Unfinished Layouts folder.  I still have a few more to work on. 

This one was easier, more adding photos than anything else.

Very nice layout, Cristina. Noting the use of white on the photo labels; it is quite effective. That background is one of my favorite colors.

That's great, Donna! I'm sure your calendar pages look amazing once printed. Your layouts were gorgeous!

Thank you, Christina. The kids were thrilled when they received them yesterday.

Isnt it a great feeling to finish something that was unfinished.  What a beautiful quote.  I always find it so neat to look at where people live and think, hey, the nature there looks just like the nature where I live.  same grasses, same trees.  Those photo could be in anywhere in the provinces (Canada) I've lived in.

Here is Design 1 of my Christmas cards that didn't get to the print test page.  This would be on the outside of the card, the insides never even got designed.  I'll post this also on FB as it might appear really dark here.  Soon as I saw this quote I had to do it for my Nephew.  Hope it doesnt offend anyone.  

I added a white-ish(textured) border so you could see it.  I was going to use the paper as a white border going on a grasscloth textured dark desaturated brown cardstock (from Bazzill).

I'll post the next 4 designs over the next four days.

I used Carole's script for the patchwork Christmas tree, added some picture tube strings of stars and some gold snowflakes from my winter stash. The wordart is from my Christmas stash. I tucked some packages under the bottom of the tree to create the illusion of a base. After I created the tree I grouped it so I could add a shadow.

Nice, I don't have time to do much scrapping this week but I try to keep up with the things that are posted! I see that you have unpacked your Anna Aspnes goodies too!

Thank you, Ann!  I took the background color from the photo.  I tried other colors, but this is the one I liked best.

It does feel good, Susan! One less layout to complete. 🙂 

Sometimes, I go a different route from when I started, but in this case, it was more to resize the photos and add a few extra touches, and it was done.

Here's the lighter more feminine version of the first image I posted.  Usually my niece and nephew (for them, the spouse, the kids) get money from my hubby and me.  And previously I'd make an elaborate vessel/box to put the money in.  Lately I have been making a separate card than one I would give to them and there family unit.  This one would have been for my niece.

As I really don't have room to do much Christmas decorating here in my little condo I'm truly enjoying these patchwork Christmas trees from Carole's script. I rolled out more Anna Aspnes supplies using two background overlays this time. 

[Susan Ewart]

That's so pretty Ann, these would make great Christmas cards and each could be unique.  Is that a picture tube you used for the "garland".  And I see some some campus goodies decorating the tree.

Very nice and it would make a great card as well, like Susan said. I have used the same supplies from Anna Aspnes and they look great on your layout too, they are so versatile.

Thanks, Suz. ❤️ Yes, there are at least 4 styles of garlands in Picture Tubes and the red Christmas balls are from Cassel.

What I'm going to do in December and in the coming days is neither scrapbooking nor painting,

but rather rocking my third grandson born on December 15th 🙂

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all

and have as much happiness as my and my whole family.
