How great is that!?!! This month, since Kraft Girl Kits were sponsoring us, we decided to throw in a bonus sketch! We know how many photos everyone takes at Christmas time, so we thought it might be good to have some added inspiration. I hope you enjoy my sketch...there's some great inspiration on the IB blog by the DT girls.Here's my take...I used a Ki Memories sheer for the first time ever and I love it...I'm not so good at photographing it however.lol. The layout is a lot brighter in person. For ages I've been wanting to show some of my favourite Christmas ornaments, so here they are. My oldest ornament is a partridge in a gold birdhouse (top left of photo cluster) which was a gift from my Nanny who passed away when I was 5. My newest ornament is a funky looking reindeer (middle row on right) which I bought at the Wollongong markets...its actually a key chain and when I told the seller I was going to put it on my tree, he thought I was nuts...its a fun little ornament though. He has a chocolate coloured friend too.
I have a lot of ornaments from all over the world...mostly brought home by my sister. I'm also starting to receive homemade ones from my kids and I just love them. My dad came home from England and Singapore this week and he tells me he's bought me another 7 home from the Harrods sales! My sister and brother-in-law are currently visiting Albania, Egypt and England and I'm hoping she's found a couple more along the way too. I can't wait to see them and put them on my tree Christmas 2009. Can you tell I love Christmas? I had to put my tree down this week and my corner looks very sad and bare now.
Remember, you have until 31 January 2009 at 11.59pm (IB time - check the blog) to upload your versions to the gallery - there's a fab Kraft Girl Kit on offer!

Totally cute layout! I haven't played with a sheer yet, they look like so much fun! I love how you documented all your Christmas ornaments. I need to do a page like that! Happy Weekend! ;)
Hi Lisa, that's a great page, I love the idea of scrapping all your ornaments, it'll be wonderful to look back on in years to come.
