I've been working on some Christmas pages for 2011 and thought I'd share a few today.

For the belt on this page, I used different punches, filled them with colours and then used eyelets for the holes. The letters were done using Alphabet Soup Punches…I love how you can add any patterned paper to "fill" them.

The first is of my youngest who just started Kindergarten this year. I just can't believe they are all in school now. She's so proud of herself and is doing so well.

This one is of my son…of course…and he just started grade 4 in a brand new school. He's been doing really well and has already made some friends!

My oldest daughter just entered grade 6 and in her school that's the highest grade, so, it's neat to see how they are empowering her to be a leader. She is growing up so fast and now even has feet bigger than mine..can you imagine?!

It's amazing how many things we fit into 3 days. There was only 5 other families there so we all got upgraded to a "hotel-like" facility with comfier beds, linings and a full bathroom.

Here's a layout I created using the Downtown Grunge Digital Kit  from Stampin' Up! I love the digital kits that they create because it makes it so simple to create quick, easy layouts.

Kind of hard to see the pictures…but, it's photos of me and my older 2 kids doing high ropes. It was the first time that I've tried it, but, if you can see from the pcitures, I walked across a BIG log (pics on the right). Thankfully we are strapped in…but, boy is it scary being up there. I climbed near the top and then almost chickened out. I forced myself to do it though…I wanted to prove to myself (and my kids) that I could do it. lol
