First I will share my "Christmas in July" layout.... I didn't do a traditional Christmas layout (it's 115 in Phoenix..I can't even think about Christmas right now!!) so I used the Christmas concept a little differnetly and using a recent photo of my son Joseph...(minus lots of teeth)...ended up with this......!!!
Second, I'm giving away a PRIZE...... it's the ENTIRE COSMO CRICKET COLLECTION PACK of the GARDEN VARIETY line
Third, so the words you need from me for the BLOG HOP are "THE MAGIC" (yep, 2 words from me)
Fourth, you need to go to the next blog.... the fabulous & talented RACHEL ... (click on her name to go to her blog).
Last and certainly not last, for my layout I used my July Scrapbook Circle kit and a sketch from SKETCH SAVVY ... (#33)
I love the border pieces...so cool!!!
I love Christmas shopping with my dds!

ReplyDeleteIt isn't Christmas in our family until someone breaks out the Lutefisk. It is a Swedish tradition that includes some sort of stinky fish (herring, I think). My grandmother and great aunts and uncle are the only ones who eat it, but whenever I think of Christmas with my grandma, the stinky fish always creep their way into the picture! Great site!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout, I love the border around the edge Joni!
