A couple of Xmas Backgrounds for you

There is a challenge going on over at SBF to create a Christmas background paper using the colors blue & white and an upcoming challenge using the colors green, red and gold.  So here are the ones I created for the challenge plus one in red and white.  Hope they are something that you might be able to use.

Going on vacation!

Yay, we are finally going on vacation!  We are heading down to Florida for a much needed vacation and will be gone for 8 - 10 days.  We are staying with our daughter and son-in-law near Daytona Beach and will probably hit Disney & Universal a couple of days.   Here are a couple of pics from our last trip. LOL!
See you when we return!

Thanks Mary....

Received this from a wonderful creative lady.  She makes some gorgeous kits and gives them away for free.  Thanks Mary for being my friend and for sharing your time and talent with us all. Hugs!

Thank you friends

I feel that I have come a long way since I first started scrapping a couple of years ago, and I believe that my friends over on SBF have contributed to that with all of their encouragement and comments over the last couple of years. There are many, many talented and creative people on SBF and they have been a great inspiration to me.  Also, I would like to say a big thank you to all of the wonderful designers out their who share their time, creativity and talent with us all.

Here is my first try at creating some backgrounds, I hope they are something you can use. You can get them here:

Upcoming challenge at SBF

June (Ferro) has an upcoming challenge over on SBF entitled "Toward the Light".  So here is the page that I have created for it, along with some wordart (a freebie for you).  My husband has always been the shining light in my life. Love you Richy.

You can grab the wordart HERE:

I came across this quote today so I decided to create another page for the challenge. The kit is by Mary's Mixes.
