I think the star of this page is the photo! Look at Brenna's cute smile! It's really hard sometimes to get her to smile for the camera, so I made the photo a little larger than some of the others in this album to allow it to shine. It was so cute on Friday, I found a whole bunch of old baby toys I thought I'd given away, and she just played the night away. It was like early Christmas for her!Tuesday, December 21, 2010

There are three blog candy links in my sidebar up for grabs, and they all look great!!! There is a huge stash of Tim Holtz stuff over at Artfully Yours. Then Prairie Fairy is celebrating coming back to blogger with a huge giveaway. And finally, Kylie is celebrating one year and 300 followers! Go check them all out because ya never know...
I've gotten a bit behind with my December Daily and another project I've been working on due to a wicked head cold these past two days, but I'm back to normal (basically!) today and hope to get some crafting done. It's pretty hard having the kids at home though. Who am I kidding, they're driving me up the wall!!!

I had to take a quick break from my December Daily album to do up a card for my friend's little boy. He doesn't know me from a hole in the ground, but we share the same birthday (December 27, mark your calendars, kids!) so I feel connected to him that way. He's going to be three, so I thought the bright colours from PPC and this image from Some Odd Girl would be perfect for him. I also used a sketch from Lord Have Mercy and adapted it a bit to fit the image. Some Odd Girl's challenge is to use 2 different types of bling, which I thought would be hard on a boy card, but I used some sparkly mist, silver embossing powder, and even some Perfect Pearls. Anyway, I really like how it turned out - I just may have to make another to keep in my stash!Supplies: Close to My Heart cardstock, patterned paper, and watercolor pencils, Copic markers, Some Odd Girl image, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, Distress Ink, and Perfect Pearls, Tsukineko mist, silver ink and silver embossing powder

This is my second post tonight, so make sure you scroll down to see my Day 12! This page took a while for me to complete, but I really love it. I decided to break out the Glimmer Mist for the inside page, which looks a lot more shimmery in real life. I also really like the round Heidi Swapp journaling spot - not seasonal but seemed to fit with the baby theme.Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel really happy, for no apparent reason? That's me today! I must be getting into the whole Christmas spirit. Actually, I guess one of the reasons I am in an especially good mood today is that I received a beautiful package of blog candy from Roz! And just in time, because I was running really low on paper for this December Daily album, and she sent me a whole schwack of Christmasey papers!!! Here is the card she sent me; isn't it adorable? 
I really struggled with this spread, not least of all because none of my photos turned out. I tried every setting on the camera, and these were really the best shots. Maybe I should read the manual one of these days, eh? Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Prima journaling card, Basic Grey patterned paper (fussy cut into ornaments), Creative Memories stickers, Close to My Heart stamps, Magenta letter stickers

I finished this one last night. Isn't it cute? I wanted to include all 3 photos, so I made this cute little flip flap thingey because I didn't want to cover the pretty paper. A bit of journaling, ribbon, and some sparkley grungeboard numerals and my page is done. And I'm so glad I caught this little glimpse of our daily lives!Saturday, December 11, 2010
I'm still hangin' in there with this project, and I must say I'm still lovin' it! Not much was going on around here December 9th, so I decided to document my new workout regime. Even though the holiday season is in full swing and we have a billion and one things to do, I still have to stick to my weight training, otherwise I won't be able to compete at Femsport on April 2nd. And why would I want to do such a thing, you ask? Well, I was in terrific shape before I got pregnant, and I miss that body and feeling so strong and healthy, so I decided that this would be an attainable goal for me. I'm not in it to win it, I'm just in it to get fit and strong and hopefully not kill myself trying! So far the training is going well, and I know if I can keep it up through December, then exercise will be a habit and it won't feel so difficult to keep up the routine. Wish me luck!
