We Believe

I absolutely love the sketch at My Creative Sketches this month.  I was surfing the web for scrapbook sketches and came upon their blog.  They have a sketch a month and give out a wonderful prize chosen randomly, too!  Here is their sketch for this month's challenge:




I woke up this morning with the scrapbook bug.  I know that all of you scrapbookers out there know what that is!  I felt like I just had to make a scrapbook page with one of my pictures taken during the December holiday season.  And I received the Echo Park "Winter Wishes" collection as a Christmas gift from my sister, Patty and was itching to use it!



So, I decided to convert one of my favorite photos from Christmas morning to black and white:



And here is the layout I created using the awesome December sketch at My Creative Sketches:


Thanks, My Creative Sketches, for the inspiration!

I hope you are all enjoying your holiday season.  Anne has been loving having Katie home and hasn't left her side!  It has been wonderful to see the 2 of them together again for the holidays!!!

And, I want to take this moment to wish you all a very happy new year.  I hope you have one filled with many blessings!

And thank you so much for your support and for stopping by to visit my blog today.

So lovely that the girls understand how precious their time is together :) Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!

    WOW!! This is beautiful! It's a nice change from the usual green/red colors for the holiday. Nice job changing it to b/w and the papers are amazing!!

    What a great memory this will be to look back on. I love that you do sketch challenges, that is my weak spot. Seeing your layouts though are making me want to try them again. Keep inspiring me in 2013 Sharon!!

    Wishing you and your family a wonderful, safe, COLORFUL, happy New Year!!

    I love the non-traditional Christmas colors and that you converted the picture to b&w to make it "work". Truly stunning!
