I have really been zipping out the Christmas layouts lately. Guess I am in the Christmas mood.  All of today’s layouts were made with Krafty Christmas and/or Krafty Christmas Add On by Pamela Donnis Designs.

I also used Pam’s Build An Album 1 on all my layouts except the one with the white wood frame. That layout was made for the “It’s Elementary My Dear Scrapper” challenge at Elemental Scraps. They provide you with a Quick Page, you add to it and make it your own.

Krafty Christmas 

Sign up for Pam’s newsletter during the month of December, and you’ll receive the links to Krafty Christmas for FREE!! Visit Pam’s blog for more info.

Krafty Christmas Add-on

Most of the  pages in this template pack hold several pictures, so this album is perfect for trips, or activities where you took lots of photos! Or for a fun look, fill in the extra blocks with patterned paper and elements.

Build-an-Album #1

Since I am in a Christmas kind of mood. I made you a present! It has been a long time since I made and kit, I forgot how much fun it is. I would LOVE to see what you make with it. Send me the links to your layouts so I can post them on my blog and you just might get RAKed! :0)

This kit is so big, I had to break it into two zip files. Santa’s Keys Red and Santa’s Keys Green. Special thanks to all the designers whose CU elements and overlays I used to make this kit!

Week 49 – Surrender

Scripture:
If you surrender your will, then He will “equip you with everything good for doing His will.” (Hebrews 13:21).

My Poem:

I surrender

In the cold darkness of the night, I surrender to you.
In the bright morning light, I surrender to you.

When my world crumbles to the ground, I surrender to you.
When each new day brings joys abound, I surrender to you.

Finding my pockets are bare, I surrender to you.
When my purse overflows and begins to tear, I surrender to you.

When I am lost and can not find my way, I surrender to you.
Following your lead every day, I surrender to you.

Each time my flesh is frail, I surrender to you.
Even when I am not pale, I surrender to you.

Finding my burdens too heavy to bare, I surrender to you.
At the times when I don’t have a care, I surrender to you.

Learning that knowledge is not enough, I surrender to you.
Knowing I have the right stuff, I surrender to you.

At the height of despair, I surrender to you.
When my trials are rare, I will still surrender to you.

My friend Rita is having a silent auction on her blog for a very special cause and a very special teddy bear. Please stop by her blog and read about our friend she is trying to help and about the silent auction

K-Joi Studios has released it’s December Mega Kit, Holiday’s in my house. Proceeds from our Holiday’s in my House will go towards helping April with her Sub for Santa project.

It’ December, that means a new Scraplift With A Twist Challenge at Kjoi Studios.

For this months inspiration, I have chosen this fabulous layout by Triplett06

I just love the blending, and the simple look she achieved while still incorporating so many photos.

Please leave Triplett some love

You can use all or any part of this layout for your inspiration. The twist? You layout must have a Winter, or Winter Holiday theme. (Such as Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, Kwanzaa, etc., etc., etc.)

Simple enough, right? :0)

I made this layout for my Scraplift With A Twist challenge. As well as the Font, Lyric, and Word Art challenges at K-joi Studios. Kits are Shabby Little Christmas and Shabbby Little Christmas Add on by mlwCustomDesigns.

Everyone that participates in my December SWAT challenge will receive the word art I made for this layout free!

Treasured Friends

I was so excited to see I had a message saying that I had received an Award! OMG!!! (big smile).

Thank you LADY DOVE for considering me a “Treasured Friend” and giving me this Award. You’ll never know how much this means to me, you made my day!

I’m supposed to pass this on to 5 different people.
MMM…..Let me think…..

1. The first one goes to Kara at Kjoi Studios for believing in me and making me a member of her creative team when I was just starting out in the digi scrapping world. Kara, your support and friendship has meant so much to me.

2. Karma invited me to join the Faith Sisters creative team just a few months ago. (I only just realized that our digi paths have crossed many times over the years. Through PcCrafter, Top Line Creations, and more! What a small world it is.) I enjoy visiting the FS board, the members are always so friendly and it helps me to stay centered in my faith each and every day.

3. Pamela Donnis is a WONDERFULLY talented artist. I am lucky enough to be a member of her creative team. I enjoy using her creations on many of my digital scrapbook layouts.

4. Amanda Dykan, is another SUPER TALENTED artist. I am proud to be a member of her creative team as well!. I often visit her blog and website. Her creations are so pretty, it feels good just looking at them.

5. Last but not least, I give this award to Shilo. An artist whose vast talents far surpass her years. I was so happy when Shilo asked me to join her creative team. I know she is going to be very successful in the digital scrapping world. I am thrilled to share this journey with her.

Now you 5 gals need to pass this Award onto 5 more people. :0)
