Finally Getting Around to it...

Finishing up 2007 Christmas SB pages, that is:)

Santa Was Here uses Basic Grey, Heidi Swapp chipboard frame, Kelly Pannacci Sandylion chipboard.

I don't often bake; I consider it enough of an effort to put a main course on the table...but last year made the effort for a friend's caroling party (which was kind of my idea, but she has the piano, lol) I LOVE these candy cane cookies. They are one of those rare things that are as good to eat as they are to look at. Decorated sugar cookies are almost always a disappointment to me...they look awesome but usually taste like cardboard.

The background is older Christmas paper, and the white scraps are just that...scraps from Basic Grey. The cookies are Westrim Paper Bliss.


Race On uses Basic Grey paper (see a trend here...I could probably scrap the rest of my Christmas pictures for my whole life just with my current collection of BG...oops, that might be too much info for DH if he reads this;), May Arts & Doodlebug ribbon, Stencil font, and race car cut with CraftRobo. Oh, and if I may say so myself...I pulled off using ORANGE on a Christmas page!! (too bad my in-laws didn't pick a red car to match the usual Christmas colors, lol)

TFL:)

Thumbs up to you for getting these done. I am still on last Halloween. Love the gingerbreads on the second layout.

Good for you for getting Christmas done. I not done with 2007 Christmas yet and I HATE doing Christmas layouts.

Cute pages, Cheri! Those cookies do look good. I won't even tell you how many years of Christmas photos I have to scrap. Like Kristina, I really don't like sb'ing holiday photos for some reason, so I always skip over them!

Great job getting these done. I too have a huge stash of BG that could probably carry me way into the future. But who can resist! Obviously not us!
