We saw Santa a few weeks ago at bass Pro Shops. I love the Santa and the Wonderland that they have plus they let you take photos of the kids and they print up one for free to take home. We have done it every year for the last few. I love progression of the kids. The first year, the youngest sobbed the whole time.

Stampin Up's This and That Holiday journal. The journal comes plain and it is up to you to customize the front as you like.

I used some Real Red paper and Season's of Style Paper. I than stamped and die cut out the Snowflakes from the coordinating Festive Flurries set. I used the Morning Post numbers again and of course embossed them to make them all shiny like silver bells. I have been journaling in it all of the fun things for this coming holiday season.

Today is a fun Advent Calendar Box that I decorated. I used a blank 25 drawer box from Hobby Lobby and took SUs Season of Style paper pad to decorate the bags. I than used the new SU set Morning Post numbers to stamp on circles to number each box. When the paper was all on, I sealed with mod podge and tied the big red ribbon around the outside. I filled each drawer with candy and toys for the kids to get each day of December.  You can purchase the products at Stampinup.com and Hobby Lobby.

I am working on a digital scrapbook for my kids to chronicle the adventures of their elves. The kids elves aren't exactly Shelf Elves but they are naughty doing all sorts of things for the amusement.

I created this title page and thought it was a great example for the challenge over at SCIC because it just screamed Christmas to me with the inspiration photos.

Christmas is my most favorite time of the year and those are some of my favorite colors to have in the house.
