Since all of the challenges are taking a break this month, I thought we could share EVERYTHING here in this one thread this month: our cards and pages, of course, but here is a more complete list:
PAGES
CARDS OTHER CRAFTS projects ORGANIZED SPACES
PHOTOS of your holiday prep and celebration, including WRAPPED GIFTS, HOLIDAY DECOR old and new, ACTIVITIES and FOOD both the traditional and those that have altered this year because of Covid, the PEOPLE, PETS, and PLACES that are dear to you, and be sure to catch the CLOTHING: will this be a pj all day kinda year? Do you have holiday patterned masks?. And as gramma and myboysnme keep urging us, let's see some photos of YOU!
If you can't scrap, just keep snappin'!

 My kids... ugh, they’re adults now... setting up the tree on Monday  All decorated. I went with a simple rustic look again this year, no ornaments at all, just burlap wide ribbon, a red & white strip and a braided rope garland. Then sticks of berries stuck in for more color. We all love the simplicity.  This is Mr. Zakk. He and his sister love being under the tree. |

Your tree looks gorgeous, kelly8875. Looks like Mr Zakk agrees. My tree is coming upstairs today. Hoping to get at least the lights on it tomorrow. |

This tree is pre-lit, and it's been a great tree. It was only $80 from Menards, and this is year 6 for it. It leans a little this year, but not enough to bother me haha! |

grammadee - Great pictures to start the month! I love the pup in the hat. My poor dog, the kids try that every year and she just doesn't get it. LOL! Great hockey rink! Luckily there is a nice big space for some playing. And the socially distance Santa, I have seen that as a thing. This will be the first year in 22 years that we have not gone to see Santa. The cat is out of the bag for all the kids. And I am sad that the tradition has ended! kelly8875 - I love that tree. And the way you decorated it looks beautiful! azcrafty - What a great way to display the cards! That would make me happy to just look at it!

That cube looks way beyond MY skills, lynnek, but that’s a cool idea. I’ll bet her bf loves it! That’s a really pretty card display, azcrafty! Not sure what I will do with mine yet. Right now they are collecting in a bowl. |

grammadee I was a little picky at moments, but was not as hard as I thought it might be. And azcrafty I thought the same thing! I am going to do it in a DD page with each person’s favorite Christmas song. 😀

Created this card display area for my 2peas Xmas card exchange Wow, that looks amazing!! I think you'll run out of room soon, you might have to put together another display. I'm kind of sad that I didn't go in the card exchange this year. It's the thing that makes it feel really Christmassy for me. You could have had a card from Aus there too. My daughter saw these Spotify code frames on Tik Tok and I have seen them in my Silhouette Facebook groups. You get a code from Spotify and cut it out. Then you can scan it with the app to get it to play a song. What a brilliant idea! I love yours / your DD's, it looks great. |

More awesome cards, gramma. My favourites are the snowmen! Whoever receives these will really enjoy using them to spread a little cheer. |

I think if I run out of space I will put two ribbon on each sides of it. |

Hey all! I haven’t done any creating this month, nor decorating or anything festive! But I did send 5 photos to be printed so I hope to scrap those when I get them. I’ll get more from that day to also scrap! They are from a photo shoot my husband and I did at an alpaca farm for our Christmas cards. I don’t feel like scrapping the fall season because we didn’t do much that was exciting, so I think these photos will represent our fall season perfectly.

Here is a lovely gift dropped off at our door by our nephew yesterday.  And I might just keep this photo I tried to take of it last night. The flash didn’t work. And then it worked too MUCH. LOL. Might be able to use this one for card backgrounds:  |

What a perfect way to use that sketch, AussieMeg! Love all the dishes on the one side and the people on the other. And those banners and other papers on the right page reflect the fresh food vibe from the left. Now i am hungry! |

Popping in to wave hi to everyone! I love all your decor. I hope to get ours up this weekend. Last year, I put some decorations all over the apartment and I think this year, I will do the same. We need it!  |
