Christmas Countdown Lay Out

It is Monday again and one of my lay out assignments was published in
today's Scrap Girls newsletter.


For this assignment I was asked to scrap a Christmas Tradition using products by Jacelen Deinema. She has got some great stuff. She paints most of her stuff using watercolors and then transfer it to digital. What talent!!!
In one of her collections, she had this basket and it reminded me of our basket we use to keep our books in for our Christmas Countdown. And so this lay out was born. I had a lot of fun with the hanging frames and it was fun to go back through old photos. Boy, have the children changed! Time sure does fly.

(Our countdown tradition started in 2006.)
Page Journaling:
We started a new Christmas Tradition this year. I gathered 24 picture books relating to Christmas or the Winter Season and wrapped them each individually. The wrapped books were put in a basket and placed under the tree. Each night before bed the kids were able to unwrap one book for their bedtime story. Once the last book was unwrapped, we knew Christmas Eve had arrived.

Your Thanksgiving post was just awesome- I LOVE those little hats!! As always, I love your digi layout! Hmmmmm- Can you just save it as a pdf file and forward them all onto me so I can use your layouts and insert my own pictures please! LOL!! ;0) After all of this holiday hoop-la is over I am going to start digi scrapin' more. Wish me luck!!

On another note, thank you so much for blogging about Emily's auction. I don't know if I was "the friend" you got it from, but it's just wonderful you passed on the word! Did you read Emily's letter to those that participated in the auction? Talk about having to blink back the tears!!!
