Our 1st Noel ~ Scraps of Darkness


I made this page using the Midnight Garden Kit from August. This lo is also entered in 2 challenges at SOD, their Darkest Side Challenge and Holiday Technique Challenge. Some embellies came from the new December Kit, Time Flies...the star, bow and silver ribbon. The reindeer, title, flower and beads are from my stash. These are my girls in Dec 2002.















I decorated these trees using beads.
























This beautiful flower was made by Veronica. I Added the silver leaf behind it.

Joy

This is a page I made to frame for my family's White Elephant gift exchange ( I better watch them fight over it or else lol). I have some amazing friends who contributed to this lo. Thank you so much. This is almost all of us at our annual family Christmas party in 2009.

I really tried to do something different, so I did some wet distressing and added some lace to some corners. I made my own garland with ribbon, candy canes and bows.


The gold leaves, I cut from a big arrangement.


The reindeer is an ornament from the dollar store.


The presents are ornaments, that I cut in half and rearranged to fit better on the page.

Genuine Rebel ~ Scraps of Darkness

Here is more of the November Rain kit. I had to make a rebel looking page with these papers for my son. I used the monthly sketch for this design. I changed it up quite a bit, making it more masculine than feminine to go with my theme. My son at Chuck E Cheese in June 2010.

I cut this skull out of the grunge paper, inked it with different browns and black. Then I used the crackle accents to finish it off. I also used the stamp on the grunge paper. I used a lot of my gold stars, which some I hot glued into the bottle caps.


I misted my TH letters with Slate, and added a my swivel chain with token as part of the title.
