Our sweet great granddaughter, the cutest little princess ever!  At least we think so.  I used Emily Snow Princess from Lacy Sunshine, the scrapbook kit was a freebie called Lil Princess Mini Kit.

The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  I then took a pic of it and brought it back into Photoshop Elements to create my LO.

So that's it for me today.  I'm still trying to get caught up with everything that I've let slide the last two weeks.  One more family gathering on Sunday and then I'll be able to get back to my regular routine.  

Thanks so much for visiting and wishing you a blessed day!

I also added some ribbon around the spine before I attached the pages. The images for the front and back were stamped on a photo mat from the design paper. Add embossing enamel and Stickles. Before attaching the front panel, add a magnet under the circle of the stamped design. Stamp and cut out another circle and add the other half of the magnet under this piece. Attach this to the top of the ribbon. Stamp and die cut the key, edge with the gold pen, add Nestabling. Attach the key to top of circle. Add lace and pearls. Stamp and die cut flowers and leaves, shape and add pearl. Add to front with stamens. The ATC cards are all cut 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Template Dreams

I used Trish's new kit called Snow Fun which comes in a pretty blue and white color scheme.  To make it match our inspiration's colors, I used some blending modes in Photoshop Elements.  This photo was one we used for our Christmas cards several years ago.  

I know we are down to the last 5 days before Christmas; will you have a few moments to play with us?  I hope you do, we love to have you join us!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

Lunagirl Images 

Several years ago I started collecting snowmen so I was thrilled to have Frosty as our theme this week.  Isn't this the cutest image!?  You can find more adorable images by visiting Lunagirl.   Since I seem to be in a time crunch, I chose to use a quick page, meaning that all the elements had already been added to the page.  All I had to do was add the image.  Wonderful time saver for such a time as this, LOL!

I do hope you will hop on over to Digitally Sweet and join us.  We love to see all your lovely creations!

Digi Darla Designs

I'm not sure how vintage this is but I love this picture of my grandchildren, taken several years ago at Christmas.  What you can't see is the television screen.  They were having lots of fun playing along.  The Christmas Bells at the top corner are from Digi Darla which I colored in Photoshop Elements. 

So now it's your turn to show us your vintage creations.  I'm sure you can come up with something a little more vintage than I have!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
