It has been a while...

So, one could say that the year kind of got away from me there! The last few months were a blur of assignments, exams, kindy photos, primary school graduation, birthdays and finally Christmas. But now, I have some time to rest and even catch up a little on what I have been doing. I didn't manage much scrapping in that time either, but I am trying to make up for that now. I think I have pulled off five pages in two days! Yay me!

Today I am going to share a new page (hopefully I will get caught up on what I haven't shared later...) created for the Show Us Your Stuff blog, which is being sponsored by Rainbow Splendour. This month is a sketch, which is perfect for the busy month of December. I even decided to do a holidays themed page, and I used the December Hip Kit for most of my bits and pieces. I have been loving their kits and decided to order a few this year as a treat for myself. I am not ready to subscribe just yet, but maybe down the track that will happen...

So here is the sketch:

And here is my page:

Lots of handmade goodies on my page, and I had great fun creating a non-traditional Christmas themed page using pretty colours.

Here is my Charms Creations Star paired with half a vellum bow from Rainbow Splendour.

This little cluster has a button and silver glitter star from Burdy's Embellies (one of her gorgeous kits).

A pretty pin with a pretty wood veneer star from Rainbow Splendour, and the cute little silver stars are from the same Burdy's Embellies kit that I mentioned earlier.

And this cute star paperclip was also in the kit from Burdy's Embellies.

So, I managed to sneak this one in just before the end of the month, maybe I will go and see if I can squeeze another challenge in before the month ends!

Thanks for stopping by,
