Welcome December!!

I meant to post yesterday, but as always some chaos or other got in the way! Can you believe it is already December 2nd!!??  The 3 Scrappy Boys December kits are in the store NOW and shipping starting today! I got to work with the December Trio and....SIGH....it is fabulous. Gorgeous papers from Basic Grey, Girls Paperie, fabulous Core'dinations cardstock and the MOST gorgeous Maya Road glitter ever. And I am SO not a loose glitter user--but this stuff will totally have you hooked. I think I used it on nearly every chipboard word! Well enough talk, see for yourself a few of the layouts I created:

I love some of the non traditional colors included in the kit.

This was a fun one to make. I wasnt sure how I was going to use the rub on splotches, but I eventually figured they would work well with the annual "after the unwrapping" shot I take.

To color the Merry chipboard I used Studio Calico's Mister Huey in Apple Jack. It is not included in the kit, but it is available in the 3 Scrappy Boys store HERE. WOW--just realized it is on sale for $3.85!!! A total bargain--I cant get enough of the stuff!!

This last layout is the example for my Trio December challenge, which is to use ledger or lined paper as both a design element and for handwritten journaling. You can see my challenge HERE. 

Here is the Maya glitter:

Not sure if these triangles were supposed to be trees, but I love them as pennants ;)

More mist ;) and check out that glitter cardstock!!

I still have 2 cards to photograph and tons more goodies left to play with! Heathers kits are always packed with fun stuff. And she is doing a huge sale of past kits, check it out HERE. The 3 Scrappy Boys DT is doing a 12 days of Christmas inspirational thread where we are posting holiday ideas and links to blogs and other crafty spots to help get all the last minute stuff done. Come check it out HERE.

And now that my eyes are closing, I think I will say goodnight!
