Start of the month

The White with 1 has its December challenge up and this months Criteria is inspired by the silly season ...they are:

White
Festive Colours (so any combination of)
Bling

My layout "Santa" I have used Red and gold and my bling is gold pearls and gold mulberry paper stars...courtesy of Aliesha from a swap.

Talking of swaps this month the White with 1 colour for the swap is BLACK...now who couldn't use more black embellishments to use on their layouts...pop over and sign up...the last couple have been unbelievable.
Scrap the Girls is all new and so very improved...this months challenge is up and features an awesome sketch and the criteria of pink and flowers...

Just perfect for all you scrappers with girls to create something really girly...why not pop over to the blog and enter...there are some great prizes from some fabulous sponsors...here is my CT example layout for the challenge.

"2.5 & sassalicious" is using the sassafras lass papers which I love and I broke out the old HS silk flowers for this layout...the photo is of my gorgeous girl at 2 &1/2 ...she is so sassy at the moment I love her so much.
