For being featured Megan Hoeppner emailed me and sent me this. 
How great is that. You can get it here. I can't wait to use this one. The special editions from CK are always a treat.I can not believe it is December 20th and I am posting my first pages. I could make excuses .... such as how I had double bunion surgery and can't drive until this coming Wednesday. Thus it prevents me from picking up photos on my own. However that could go on forever and I should just post! So here we go.
I used Prima's Journaling Sheets ~ I love the vintage type feel they lend. The stocking sticker is from creative Imaginations, the gingerbread man is holiday time and assorted rub ons from royal brush.
Contuation of Page one is an 8X8 collage created in Storybook Creator 3.0 I also used Ali Edwards 25 Days of Christmas overlays. You will be seeing that used quite a bit in this project. Yep those are my Frankenstein feet at the bottom I am real sorry if you are squeamish. Scroll down I promise there will be no more of them. 
Day two was somewhat mundane. I was thinking I would be back to work sooner than what was reasonably possible so I was pouting a bit and took photos of my CONSTANT view. (The side front and other side vantage point from being parked on the couch.)
The paper is this great embossed paper that I can not for the life of me remember the manufacturer. So if you know leave me a comment. The circle dates I created myself.
The left side of page three is just a list of all of the holiday cookies I am baking this year. 
Page three is my husband and father installing my new oven Yeah! This page has a little flip open element that shows the ovens in all their glory. The front is embellished with Making memories Paperie Greenhouse journaling book, Prima holiday leaves and embossed trees. K & Co paper Ribbon, and a piece of vintage Santa stamp paper by another unknown manufacturer. Comment comment. 
Page Four is another 8X8 page print cut a little short and rounded corner to show a band of sparkly gold and silver paper. And Ali's 25 days overlay. 
Page four is another 8X8 photo with Ali's 25 Days overlay
Page five is of my daughters Christmas program. They were little cowgirls. Too fun! the page is made with just green card stock and Cosmo Cricket oh Joy Journaling Cards and a strip of craft card stock.
Then still on day five we went from the dance program to my neices hockey game. There is Auntie giving Audrey a smootch and enjoying some lava hot cocoa. The page is made with just green card stock, rub-ons and Prima's Journaling sheets.
