XoXo Scrapbooking January Lift

Welcome back Lipstick Chicks! 

This is the start of the new year for the XoXo Design Team. We are getting back to our roots as a "Scrap Lifting" blog. So, if you haven't already CLICK on over and play along with us! 

XoXo Scrapbooking (for the love of scrapbooking)

We (the design team) are starting out by becoming each others inspiration, we hope yours too! The members of the design team will be taking turns to scrap a page. The rest of the design team will scrap lift it. In the end you will see a small glimpse of our individual styles as well as giving you ideas on how to scrap lift without creating exactly the same page as the original.

So on to what I did for this months lift:
I am really happy how this page came together for a few reasons.

1. I got to scrap two of my favorite shots of my Son this Winter so far!

2. I got to use some of my Winter stash that has been accumulating. Mixing the older scrapbooking products with the new!

3. Doing this page got me going again! I have worked on some cards, BUT! My last scrapbooking page was done back in the beginning of November.

Used a saying that fit called Tiny Tales - Winter from My Mind's Eye. Square little metal embellishment with winter stamped in it, used a 8 1/2 cardstock border and some plastic clips. All of those were from that Winter stash of mine. Mixed it up with some washi tape and the fibers!

 Here you can see the sticker border and traditional stickers. That 8 1/2 cardstock border mixed with some washi tape.

The complete page with the SNOW BOY as the main star!

Please tell me what you think and leave a comment!

Then, head on over to play along and see what the rest of the design team has done!

Here is the original page created by Renee:

Liftateers Year 4, Week #20 & #22

Week #20
My daughter out in the snow spreading her Reindeer food.
Making sure it was in a spot when there was fresh snow. She wanted to make sure she would see the reindeers prints in the morning.
By then she had forgotten once she saw what was under the tree.

BUT I told my husband you got some work to do later just in case. So, out with a broomstick he went trying to reach the spot without making tracks himself.

All the above written on the swirls.

Week #22

This was page 1 of a 2 page layout I was working on in reverse.

I completed page 2 first during Fiskateers Games. Here are the two side by side.

  It is not too bad together! I would have moved somethings but overall it is another layout done!

Today I got some Scrappin' Time

My son has had a fever for the last few days. So, doctors visit and hubby was home which didn't leave too much creative time. But, I did get to start working on another Challenge. Hoping to post soon as kiddos settle down and I can finish it up!
This was a fun Challenge not only did I get to use pictures that were sitting around. I played withglitter which I haven't done in awhile.
