Scrap For Help - Christmas is upon us already

Here I am today to share the page I created for Scrap for help Nov challenge.

This months we've been thinking of Christmas...  Yep, already.  And we are not even into December but it really isn't far away.
You can create any project as long as you have something recylcled in it.

Now I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of Christmas pages.  Not sure why but I just don't like doing the cliche Chrissy page so I try to make it a little traditional but not with traditional Christmas pages.

I have used recycled cardboard for the tree and recycled book pages.


With 4 children, we cannot pick one to put the star on the tree so we figure, we can all do it.
It had all started off nicely, putting the star on the tree one at a time and taking photos.  So when DH and I had our turn, we kind of went a bit silly, hence the looks on our faces. Usually it is the kids that have to be silly in our photos.

And this page is neither 12x12 nor 8.5x11. I am not even game to measure it.  You see it started as a 12x12 then I thought I would add some black paint at the top and bottom of the book pages but it didn't quiet suit (actually it was so so so bad) so I had to cut the page down, just a wee bit. 
Who said we had to create a certain size page......lol.

Hope you are having a great day girls.
