You can use one of the 4x6 transparencies from the December Documented Collection Kit punched into a circle to create a fun window to see the treats!

Scrapbok Circle All is Bright Blog Hop

Wow, when I take a break, I REALLY take a break! But I am back with a phenomenal post that includes a  huge chance to win an awesome prize!!

The creative team at Scrapbook Circle is ending the year with a bang! We are hopping along and you can win an All Is Bright December kit from Scrapbook Circle. Each Creative Team member is giving away a kit on their blog. That's right — 12 chances to win! We are celebrating the holiday season and YOU get the gifts!


You should have come to my blog from the fabulous blog of Jenni Calma. You can also start at the Scrapbook Circle blog. And you can stop back by there to see the full hop list and get some more details.

The transparency was my FAVORITE item in the kit and I knew my first layout was going to feature it.

I generally struggle with transparencies. But this one was so easy to use with it's simple but fabulous star pattern. I simply layered it over green cardstock from the December Cardstock Add On and hid adhesive behind the photos. After adhering some of the red glitter trim, I decided to stitch a border around the top edge. I had fun layering the Fancy Pants chipboard stars UNDER the transparancy.
I used the exclusive Scrapbook Circle stamp and Staz On ink so it wouldnt smear and stamped on the transparency. Just that in and of itself was enough to stress me out ;) but I like the way it turned out.

I've already made 4 layouts and a card with the All is Bright Kit and Holly Jolly add on and I am looking forward to making more!

Your next stop on the hop is the incredible Tessa Buys, so run over to her blog right now! Keep hopping and leaving comments as you go, so you have up to 12 chances to win the December kit from Scrapbook Circle. Good Luck!

I've already emailed you VanessaB to find out which album and pocket pages you want!  And now on to even MORE Simple Stories....

 I got very excited having my December Daily done already that I decided to start a November mini album to document my Thirty Days of  Thankful. I started with a Brown SN@P 6x8 Album.  And then I dipped into the latest Simple Stories masterpiece - Daily Grind. SIGH. Can I tell you how much I LOVE this collection. SO much. Like SN@P, this is a line I will be reaching for over and over.
Rk ss 30 days 1
I love how the SN@P albums already come pre-loaded with the cutest pages like that brown and white polka dot page!  They also have several page protectors for quick and easy filling.
Rk ss 30 days 2
 Each day, I am taking a photo and giving it a hashtag to mark the day and what I am grateful for. I mixed in a little bit of Say Cheese too. I always say how much more than Disney can be done with that collection!
Rk ss 30 days 3
 Each day will have at least one journaling card documenting something I am grateful for or explaining the photo I took on that day.
Rk ss 30 days 5
 I love how the Memorabilia pockets fit right into the 3x4 page protector slots so I can add memorabilia or additional journaling. I used several from the SN@P Sets Everyday set.
Rk ss 30 days 6
 One of my favorite elements of Daily Grind are the new Ephemera! So many awesome little bits and pieces come in the pack!
Rk ss 30 days 7
Once I complete the entire album at the end of November, I will be sure to share it all on my here on my blog, so check back here in a few weeks!
