LM 528 - Mixed Bag - Anything Goes

This week at Lasting Memories, we are having an "anything goes" challenge.

I created a layout of this photo of Rosie and Santa last year.  As a former stray, she is a bit skittery so she was terrified.  I am glad we were able to get a nice photo.

Supplies:

All paper and embellishments by CraftSmart

Enamel dots by Echo Park

December Stick it Down

 Here's this month's sketch at Stick it Down, designed by yours truly:

I created a layout using photos from the 6th annual Ugly Sweater party that I host at the bar where I worked.  During covid, my bar was closed for a while and when it reopened, I decided to quit.  I have a full time job and the bar was a side job.  When I hosted this party last year, I had no idea that it would be the last time I hosted it.

Supplies:

All patterned paper and stickers by Simple Stories Winter Cottage Collection

December Challenge YOUrself

Here's my DT entry for Challenge YOUrself.  This month, we have an "anything goes" theme.

November Challenge YOUrself

 Here's my DT entry for Challenge YOUrself.  This month, we have a "home for the holidays" theme.

I wanted to do something a little different with this challenge.  I have been working from home for the past 6 years and I wanted to create a layout about my Christmas party.  Since my co-workers and I live all over the country, we have to do celebrate over zoom.  We get dressed up, share a toast with our favorite holiday mugs, play games etc.  This year, I won a gift card for coming in 2nd for our "most festive" contest.  How do you like that headband?  LOL
