Melissa chose the challenge for BBTB2 this week, and she picked the mouse. My little guy is in the giving mood, handing up his gift for you. Come join us for the challenge this week, there are mice on a lot of different cartridges you can use!

For my assignment, I got to play with the Winter Frolic cartridge. This cart is jam packed with fun Christmas and winter themed cuts. When I saw the little boy cuts on this cartridge, they reminded me of my little boy, and I had just the pictures to go with them. I started my page by cutting the brown patterned paper to look like the ground, and placed it at the bottom of my page. Then using glue and the white flocking, I created “faux snow” along the edge of the ground. I cut the snowman at 3.25” and also covered him with the flocking. The sleigh boy was cut at 3.75”, and the snowball boy was cut at 4.75”. I cut the snowflake at 3.5” and added some sparkle with the glitter. The title was cut at 2” and raised with foam squares for dimension. I thought the mitten border was just precious, and I cut it at 1.25”. Whether you are scrapping Christmas photos or wintertime photos, this cartridge is a must have!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The DT at BBTB2 used the Santa cut from Winter Frolic this week. Here he is with five of his reindeer!
Come join the challenge this week. You can use any Santa from any cartridge. We love to see your creations.

One of the things I dread about Christmas is decorating the tree, but I just love how it looks after I'm done. I had these pictures of our tree from last year, and decided I need to scrapbook them so I can look back later and see how our tree looked.
