Once Upon a Sketch - 15th December

Well girls, only 10 more sleeps until the man in red comes to visit. 

I am exhausted already and I still have 10 days to go.....We have so many Chrissy functions on and work is busy and the shopping seems never ending.  

But I know that the looks on the kids faces will be worth all of the effort.

So onto some scrappy business.  Being the middle of the month means it is challenge time at Once Upon a Sketch. Now I know you are as busy as me but it would be great if you could find a few hours to join in this challenge and just think, it is one more Chrissy page completed.

Journalling Criteria/theme: Our Christmas traditions

We would love to hear how everyone spends Christmas Day. Even if you do NOT celebrate Christmas, what do you do on Christmas Day?

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote.

Our guest designers and the design team have put together some very inspirational pages so head over here to see some amazing work.

And of course I have to show you mine too. 

I have rotated the sketch and unfortunately, my misting did not do as it was told and I was a little disappointed but onward and upward I say?

I have used a gorgeous Imaginarium Design chippy bracket above and below my photo and some funky alphas also.

So a few things to consider when playing along...

**This is an international blog, so anyone can enter

**You are allowed to create a card, layout or off-the-page item based on the provided sketch and additional journalling criteria. If you are creating a card or altered item you only need to include a quote.

**You are also allowed to flip or rotate the sketch or alter it to suit your needs, but please make sure its still recognisable.

**Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery and link it on the sidebar of this blog using the Link tool. Please provide a direct link to your post, not your entire blog.If the link tool is down, please leave a comment on the comments section and link your layout there.

And I will leave you with a photo of the kiddies with Santa from a Christmas function last night.  

I just love that my 10yo still believes in Santa. 

And I am not sure if Santa has had a few late nights making toys or if he had a looooooong lunch....I would hope not....lol.

And, if you don't already have this App on your phone, you have to get it, it is called OldPhoto PRO and it does this:

Pretty cool hey?

Well good night girls.
