Scrap That! Dec Reveal/Blog Hop

Welcome to my new blog for this wonderful Scrap That! "Waiting for Santa" hop. Blogger issues earlier this week forced the change - I miss my old blog (but at least this was one of the templates I could actually get to work). Let me know if you see anything weird on here though, LOL.

Well... the cat's been out of the bag on this Dec. kit, hee, hee... yup the fabulous Pion Design Waiting for Santa 2 collection. I've said it many times but it is seriously the best holiday collection I've ever seen! I've made so many DT projects for them and was still thrilled to work with the papers again for this reveal.

If you have just arrived here from Tina’s blog you are in the correct and final place of this hop! If not, head back to the Scrap That! blog for the blog hop order. The hop starts at 10 am MST today, Friday Dec. 9th and ends at midnight MST on Sunday, Dec. 11th.

For my first layout, this is my eldest son as a toddler enjoying the massive dump of snow we had - great for now forts! Other than a doily and some beads, everything on here is from the main kit this month. This layout is so special to me not only for the photographed memory but because my 8-year old son picked the papers for this layout himself!


Here is a close-up of my handmade flowers - a variation of the technique used in my wild roses - using 2 punched out 6-petal daisy layers (instead of using a rounded tip 5-petal flower punch). I also extra pinched the pointed tips and glued in various pearl beads in the middle. All of my flower tutorials can be found in the right sidebar of this blog.


This is the gorgeous sketch for this kit, that I used, designed by our very own Robin Shakoor.


My next project is a matching Christmas card and tag set made with the main kit contents and some ribbon from my stash. There is still time to enter the 12 tags of Christmas at Scrap That! (ends Dec 24th). See details HERE. There are so many wonderful graphics in this paper collection to play with!


Pretty Petaloo flowers and Dusty Attic chippies in the kit.


This is another card and tag set made entirely with the main kit. I love that antique gold lace trim, don't you?

Don't forget the project I already revealed this month... I actually used all my paper scraps from this kit (but I just couldn't tell 'ya at that time, LOL). It was made for the Scrap That! advent challenge - ending Dec. 15th. See details HERE. All the embellies were from my stash on that one though. The kids are really enjoying the treats I leave each day!


Here is a peek at the main kit...


And this is the gorgeous embellie add-on...


As you can see, I still have the add-on and a few sheets of paper left to create another project.. stay tuned!
