December stack-a-Holic challenge

Hello and Happy Holidays!!!!!!! Can't believe Christmas is just a week away!! Today I completed all of my Christmas shopping and just waiting for those last few items to come through the mail. Then it's wrapping time! I promise I have been doing some scrapping but not as much as I would like. But I promise I have a very good reason. The reason... I had the perfect photo I wanted to scrap. While making our Christmas cards, he can up with an amazing idea for a photo. This resulted in the cutest photo of my two little puppies, Jasmine and Belle. With the DCWV December challenge, I knew I wanted to use the photo. However, nothing seemed to work with the photo. Here is this months layout challenge 
I knew right away that I was only going to use the one photo because I didn't want it to share the spotlight so that was part of the challenge making a layout made for three layouts work for a layout with just one photo. 
And here is the close up of the little monsters. 
The papers used was DCWV Storybook Christmas. I really liked how this paper brought out the Christmasy feeing of the photo. I also wanted to keep the embellsihments simple. 
I have some Disney ones I have done but there is one more I want to do before I share those. I should be able to get some time this weekend to work on the last page. 
Until next time!!

Christmas time is here!!

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while but working in retail means working crazy hours! Unfortunelty I still haven't made it to the basement to work on stuff but I wanted to stop by and show off our Christmas decor!!! We have enough Christmas stuff where we almost need a Uhaul to get it from the storage unit. As it is we take bother cars because unfortunately last year some things were left behind in the hallway and "mysteriously" disappeared. :( 
We have plans for when we own a house how we plan to decorate everything that's how much stuff we have. For now though we work with what we have and some things just don't make the cut. 
First the outside...
An 8 foot Santa greeting everyone from the back porch! 
This is the front of the house. 
Closeup of Mr. Snowman
Mr. and Mrs. Deer with Rudolph who they adopted. 
Mickey!
Baby Penguin. Mama Penguin didn't make the cut this year. 
Our wreath on the door. 
And the wreath that is on our bedroom window. 
Now for the inside...
My Disney Christmas shelf
My Stuffie Shelf. 
Even Shelby gets some decor!
Santa and reindeer
Stockings. 
And the bathroom!! It's ok to be jealous that you do not have the awesome toilet seat and matching rug. 
And now for the village which I think this is one of my favorite set ups to date. 
Tonight we are getting the tree and tomorrow will probabley be tree decorating day! Tomorrow is also Comicon day which is always fun!  I pinkie promise that I should be able to get some layouts done sometime this week and of course I will share! 
Until next time!!!!!
