Now this is a little bit ironic. Timing wise that is.

I'm scrapping Christmas photos at Christmas time.

I'm in the 2008 Festive season at the moment which is just fantastic as there is so many non scrappy embellies around that I've found. I picked up some beautiful foliage from Cheap As Chips that I can adapt for a page or project. I found some very cute little do dahs in Kmart that are perfect for a page. Ribbons galore, but I did refrain from them, some very noice label stickers that won't be going on any parcels. Fake Poinsettias whose petals look like leaves (I'm a leaf collector by the way lol)

This LO I finished last night before my trip to Lincoln today and finding all my bits, but the next LO will have some on it for sure!!

 (photographed on a black board that ended up being just too fiddly to remove via PS, so the black border isn't really there in real life.)

The top of the clock is a really big button with a Maya Road Sheer Clock under it.

A couple of weeks ago Sandra, Janice, Mary-Anne, Trish and I got together for a bit of a catch up. We all needed to bring something scrappy for everyone to each create a LO. Well I'm afraid I couldn't quite get it all to work on one page, so I'm using the 'houses' from Maryanne and the black pearl strip from Janice on this one. Hope the girls don't mind :OP
