I love this template! It's called 'Christmas Single 21 - Hello Santa' by Cindy Schneider. Thank you justjac for getting me onto Cindy Schneider.  She's done all the hard work for me! I also used the 'Christmas In July' kit from The Digital Press.  |

Here is my second LO about gingerbread house construction. When I was in Calgary, my ddil picked up a kit for the boys to build while I was there. It's a good thing their sister was there to build it with them. She had made one at school--using a hot glue gun!!!--but we muddled through with icing after I thickened it up a bit with icing sugar. The bag sprung a leak so made it almost impossible to direct the flow for decorating, but she managed, and the boys loved building--and tasting--their house.  Building JOY by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Two pages created and shared (4). #2 holiday '19 (2), #11 two fonts in title (2), #14 woodgrain pp (1), #19 paper bag pocket (1), PL/diecuts (5), #31 journaled in a triangle (1), #32 love these dgk's (2), #38 two page spread (1), #39 3+ photos (1), #46 rectangles (2), #47 squares (2), #54 5x7 (1), #55 small pic's (1), #57 No inking (2). Total: 28. |

fun gingerbread photos and layouts grammadee - no one here was interested when I suggested decorating one this year. I do remember my mum always doing a gingerbread house when I was a kid - it was her thing, not something we helped with. She baked it and made her own frosting and decorated it with sweets and biscuits - she had little figurines of a witch and a couple of kids - probably based on Hansel and Gretal. AussieMeg - I love the colours and summery feel of your Christmas layout - the white backed letters add to that! |

LOVE your Now & Then pages, gramma . Will take a closer look on Flickr. Here is the last of my page production today. I may go into the little squares later to add details from the photos, but right now I am just feeling DONE with this one after all those little pieces. Have I told you how little patience I have??? It seemed like a brilliant idea when I thought of using all those little PL cards as Game Spaces across two pages. But it took a long time just to get the game board ready...

Here are my two pages from this morning. Don't know why it took me all morning to finish these: I had the photos pulled out and most of the papers selected yesterday evening. Scrap Happy's prompt for the 3rd was Santa photos, so I am only one day behind there (Day One was Advent Calendar and Day Two was Gingerbread).  Hey Santa! by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Today's prompt is BAKING. I have some good shots of my dgn helping with baking in November--just have to find those photos--and one pic of the baking process for one of sleepingbooty 's December photo prompts, so I guess that will be my next two pager. Don't have any photos of any of the cookie trays I put together this month. But I DO have some of each still in my freezer. Might have to make up a small tray for a photo shoot. Maybe a couple of Christmas cookies will speed me up! Points: Two pages created and shared (4). #2 holiday season '19 (2), #9 stars (1), #11 two fonts (2), #15 two patters each page (4), #23 Santa pic's (2), #25 PL cards (2), #32 love these guys (2), #34 two layers each page (4), #37 tree diecuts (3), #46 (2), #47 (2), #54 5x7 photo (1), #57 no inking (2). Total: 33. DawnMcD , and gramma and AussieMeg and Chinagirl828 , there is love in the Gallery. |

gramma , I love your first pages that you posted. They look very familiar! I love to see the changes and similarities in your scrapping style. One thing I love that you do now is the use of marvelous titles included on your pages. I am always in awe. Your pregnant paper dolls on your older pages are just so cute. What fun that you posted pages featuring the same girl. So cool to see your pages side by side. Thanks for sharing those with us. My scraproom is in shambles, but I finished up a page I started in early Dec. and finished a couple more. I can clean and organize anytime but I have to scrap when the mojo comes. This is our DGD and husband with Boomer when he was smaller.

My apologies: I've just flooded the gallery with my calendar: it's the first year I've remembered to take photos before I sent it postal to my MIL! I'm just going to share a few here. I keep the "layouts" super simple, since it can't be dimensional (it is a calendar after all) and my MIL isn't a scrapper, doesn't need super layered/embellished/current things. Actually, I challenge myself to use old scraps when I'm creating the album!

This is our 3rd DGD to sing with this choir. Their Christmas concert is wonderful and they serve great candies and cakes afterward. I had to beg for them to let me keep the ticket so I could add it to the page. They generally just rip them and hand back half. I guess they took pity on a devoted scrapper! The stickers on this page are some I found in an old binder. They were purchased back in the 90's. Seemed fun to use them...even though I forgot I had them.  Carols & Confections |

I love it when my swiss cheese memory plays THIS kind of trick on me, nylene : hiding treasures until just when I am looking for "something special" and then revealing itself like your stickers. Days like that are definitely like Christmas! Here are two pages from this morning. I am responding to Scrap Happy's prompts for yesterday (holiday beverages) and today (traditions). Now that I look at the two pages together (I put them together one at a time), do I need to specify that the little guy is NOT drinking Irish Cream?  A cup of CHEER by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: two pages created & shared (4). #2 holiday season plus two photos from Dec photo challenge (4), #3 new tradition (1), #11 two fonts (2), #13 drink (2), #15 snowflakes and stripes and dots (3), #18 banners (1), #25 PL cards (2), #32 love this kid (1), #34 three layers (6), #36 eight patterns (8), #38 two page spread (1), #39 3 pics on 2nd page (1), #46 & 47 (4), #54 large photo (1), #57 no inking (2), #62 swirls (2).

I am loving seeing all of these gorgeous Christmas layouts! This one is for the Santa Paws challenge. I had to upload it before I put all the stuff back on that I took off - if you think it's busy now, you shoulda seen it before! I used the 'Sparkle and Shine' template by Fiddle Dee Dee, papers and elements from the following kits: 'Candied Christmas' by Katie Pertiet, 'Sweet Christmas' by Studio Flergs and 'Happy Ho Ho Ho' by Bella Gypsy.  |

No pages for me today, but two cards. This first one is for my dh's bd this month. I did this in response to @kendramage 's Tuesday Card Challenge on the Stamping/Cardmaking board.  Your time to howl by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And then I put together another open box card for another of my dgs's. Still have a bit of warping in the strips. I think by the time I have mastered this, I will have moved on to a different card design...  birthday bear box card by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Points: two cards created & shared (4). #1 Card challenge Tuesday (1), #15 snowflakes (1), #25 PL card (1), #32 for people I love (2), #34 Six layers (6), #36 two patterned papers (2), #37 diecuts (4), #40 vellum (1), #43 VERY old stickers (1), #46 rectangles (2), #57 no inking (2).

This is a layout about the early pens that DH made when he got his lathe for Christmas several years ago. I need to take photos of the more recent ones he has made. These were all donated to our Church auction for Young Men and Young Women activities.  Pensmith |

This is a layout about the early pens that DH made when he got his lathe for Christmas several years ago. What a wonderful story Nylene! I absolutely LOVE that the builder gives your husband the timber that he is using on the house, and your husband then makes a pen from the same timber to present to the new home owners. I would be absolutely thrilled with such a gift! |

Here are a couple of pages for your Mosh Pit challenge, AussieMeg , but definitely not a rock concert  . Have been having fun playing with some supplies that have been in a bin in the cupboard for quite a few years. The BoBunny is from 2016, and I am not sure how old the Cloud 9 papers are.

I finally got to scrap a bit!
Played with Vicki Boutin art crayons and gold glaze today for the first time. Should have mixed the green and blue crayons together to make a deeper green, but it’s all good.
Didn’t have a plastic craft knife, so I used a serrated plastic food knife, so the glaze has a striped texture.

KikiPea , I love what you did with the crayons. I have never tried those but they look fun. Your gold texture adds such a pretty look to yout layout. I'm sure it's even prettier in person. I love your cluster under the Christmas photo. You have that down to a science. The cowboy page is so cute. I love the design! He is just adorable. Thanks for sharing these.

This is a card for my DSIL who keeps my computer humming. This was a new type of fold for me, but it was fun to do. I can think of other fun images that would work with this.  Pop Out Birthday CardThis card is for 2Peas Tuesday Card Challenge 1-7-20. I loved the idea of using the embossing folder sideways so only the center is embossed. I didn't perfectly follow the recipe of the challenge, but it's close. I think I'll make more of these for Card Club next month.  Birthday Wishes |
