JYC Catchup (again!)

I'm sure I'm not alone in having got a little behind with my journalling (I have a bigger behind also from too many choccies lol). I have been trying to catch up today - in between being lead singer in DD1's wii band and having a leaking roof. Not quite up to date but nearer than I was :)

Christmas Pages

I have made some Christmassy pages. Call them a Christmas Card to anyone reading my blog :)


I used...
Happy Holidays by Jofia Defoe, and the mouse that Eric is looking at is from All Hallows Eve by Holliewood Studios.

JYC Catchup

Been getting behind on my Christmas journalling. Thought the girls have finished school for the holidays, we still have lots of band stuff to get through before we can fully relax. Last nights concert went well and the 'busking' in the town square was a success. We had a dusting of snow yesterday (more about that later) and we did most of the Christmas food shop so we're getting there now. Our guests arrive tomorrow so ought to do some tidying!
Anyhoo, I have caught up on my journal (almost - still have todays entry to do)...




Above is my DDs gazing in wonder as it fell and the snowman they made. What isn't that apparent in the photo is that the snowman is in fact tiny - certainly no taller than 6 inches lol!!

JYC day 16

and another double page shot to show how the albums coming together...

We've had a very festive weekend so I have chosen to document the things we did instead of following the prompt :)
In fact we were so busy I've done 2 pages for each day!

JYC day 11

I used the photo as most of the page and some sticky letters that I flocked.

JYC day 4

Went to see Its A Wonderful Life last night (with a fellow JYCer) on the big screen at my eldest daughter's school. I have to watch this every year- it's one of my Christmas rituals, but I've never seen it big before!

JYC day 3

OK, so I'm already getting a bit behind, hope to catch up today though.

And this is how my album is working in general...
