I would like to take this month's kit and add on's and show you how you can get lots of wonderful Christmas gifts from it. I know that sometimes you think, wow can I really afford a kit and all the add ons? Well, this month I say go for it, because where else can you spend less than $100.00, add a few stash pieces along with it, and get more than 8 to 10 gifts out of it (maybe more if you don't scrap as "chunky" as me-lol).
Not only do you get a gorgeous kit in the mail each month, but along with it, you get a so inspiring sketch created just for the sketch. The sketch is created by our very own Charlotte Jenkins (Suepup), and is always inspiring. Here is this month's skecth:

And here is my take on the sketch:
A layout makes a perfect gift for anyone special in your life. You can give it as is, put it in a shadow box, or mount it onto canvas, and you have a personal, amazing gift to give to that someone special.
This layout features a photo of my son, Draven, when he was 5 years old. We were getting ready to board the Polar Express here in Chattanooga, and my husband, David snapped this sweet closeup of him. He was so excited, but boy was it cold outside, so he was all bundled up for the Winter. I just love Winter, and this kit is so perfect for capturing that Winter feel. I used lots of technique on this one. There is lots of inking, fussy cutting, tearing, painting with Snow Tex, paints, inks and stickles.
Scraps Of Elegance Items Used:
Main-Bo Bunny Powder Mountain Papers, Bo Bunny Chipboard, Bo Bunny Jewels, Ingvild Bolme Ink,
Paper Add On- Bo Bunny Powder Mountain paper
The large snowflakes are Tin Snowflakes that I found when I was unpacking Christmas, and inked up with the Brick Wall ink from the kit, they created a yummy rustic feel, and then I topped them with Dusty Attic Snowflakes that I had gotten from Mandy's (Craftysprinkles) Etsy.
Do you have someone on your list that loves Vintage themed or totally girly girl items? Then here is an example of a gift that will leave them oooohing and aaahing, and will be something they will treasure, because it was created with your own two hands.
This is an altered memory box project and it includes a sweet Vintage desk set tucked inside. I created all the little treasures for the tuck in from the kit and add ons. They include a January-December Calander, 3 Vintage tags, two postcard Notecards, a Doily tag and a Baby Renea Size set of Sweet Memories Butterflies from my Etsy Shop.
Items From this Month's Kit and Add Ons:
Main Kit-Kaisercraft Turtle Dove Papers, Pink Paislee Artisan Elements, White Frothy Trim
Paper Add On-Graphic 45 Place In Time Papers, and January Cut Aparts,
Embellishment Add On-Pink Paislee City Sidewalks Snowflakes, Prima shabby Chic Resin, Prima Rondelle Say It In Crystals
Here is a close up of the Box Top.
And here you can see the sides and all the inking distressing, and stamping that I did to create, texture, dimension, and layers of colors.
Do you have a total Diva on your Christmas Gift list? Then they would be utterly thrilled to receive a Winter Glam Gift like this one.
This is an Acrylic Mini Album, and matching storage box. I used lots of froth and frill to create a beautiful place for someone to store their Winter memories.
Item used from this month's kit:
Main Kit-Bo Bunny Powder Mountain Papers, Bo Bunny Chipboard, Bo Bunny Jewels, Graphic 45 Cut Aparts, Prima Rosarian Beads, Reneabouets Baby's Got the Blues Butterflies, Pink Paislee Artisan Elements, Frothy White Trim
Paper Add On-Bo Bunny Powder Mountain Papers

The Acrylic Mini Album was from the Scraps of Darkness/Scraps of Elegance store
Here some close ups of the Mini Album and pages. The acrylic pieces have been two tone Alcohol Inked and then I edged each page out in German Glitter Glass and Stickles.

I am so glad I came by your blog on the hop, you do beautiful work. I never thought of using a page as a gift, putting it in a shadow box or frame is wonderful.
