New Beginnings!!! Happy 2014!!!

I'm baaaack!!!  HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Yes it's been a very long time, just life getting in the way, time is precious and sometimes not there for blogging but I promise to be here more often, not sure how much but more than I have been for sure ;)))

I'm especially back because one of my good friends has started a challenge blog and I want to be supportive and join in on the fun!!!

The challenge blog is: Open-Minded Crafting Fun and Vicky's blog is Crafting Vicky, she is a super talented woman!!!

The first challenge on Open-Minded Crafting Fun is use new toys or new technique. Well I've been scrapbooking a lot over the holidays and wanted to show off a page from last Christmas (yes I'm a little behind in my scrapbooking..lol). So here it is:


My "new toiys" are the paper and snowflake embellishments and also the die cut. I found some great deals recently and this is the first time I got to use them.


Here is a closer look at the TITLE, it was the Santa Claus Parade in downtown Montreal, November 2012. In one of the pictures you see my family, the family of four, and my cousin Melissa's family, the family above mine, it was her daughter's first Christmas!!!

I used this great sketch from Sketch on U Sketches:





I will be entering the following challenges:
Open-Minded Crafting Fun, New toys
Stuck on U Sketches, sketch


Thanks so much for stopping by, I can't wait to come back and show you more of my creations!!


love & create

Cinzia

Oh, what a marvelous layout, Cinzia! Love the colors and those snowflakes are terrific. I did a scrapbook page over Christmas week last month of my kids playing in the snow when they were just pre-teens. My baby is now in her 40s so don't worry about being behind. lol OK, so I'm really here with my new DT hat on to thank you for playing at Open-Minded Crafting Fun and to wish you luck in the challenge.

Hey there!
I'm glad to see you out supporting your friends
with their new challenge AND being able to use
our sketch as well! Good job!
I read your first lines and laughed because each year I think..."I'm going to be a better blogger" and then I realize I love crafting, not really blogging. LOL, so I kinda stink at it still! =)
Well great page and fun to play with new things! Thank you for taking the time to use the sketch and link back!

Warmly, Leah
