Closing in on the end of 2019

As we get ready to close out 2020...

I'm ever so close to having my 2019 album finished.

I've jumped around a little as I had the opportunity to take a few online classes

This one is a first for me as I tried a new technique of triangle paper folding to make the wreath

 I used festive plaid, merry little Christmas paper, and embellishments 

along with dollies and gold cardstock from my stash

the snowflake on the bottom is a recycled gift tag that works in nicely with the addition of a gemstone

This next one is another online class using a quilt patch design.

I thought about aligning the red and blue striped squares but didn't like how it looked

I used CM North Pole magic and rhinestones from my stash

For this two page spread, I used Scrap our stash challenge

I didn't play along with all the rules though as I used all of my 2019 holiday photos prior to this layout

Simple Stories "Crafty Girl"

This last one was actually the first layout of the day.

I finally opened up my clear gesso to try my hand at mixed media

White acrylic paint, shimmerz spray, and paint from my October order.

I love how the layout turned out even though I'm not a fan of the paper kit.

So I shared what was left with my little friend Aurora. 

 She didn't waste any time getting crafty too.

Birthday paper embellishments mixed with so Disney paper I gave her
