WOW ! I can't believe it's already the 14th ! Only 11 more days until Christmas ! I swear i'll never be ready in time for the Big Day ! So many things to do, so little time... Anyway, enough about me and my unimportant problems ! I know you are all impatient to find out what i've prepared for you this week ! ;)

This week's challenge is super simple ! All you have to do is create a layout with some bling and since everyone has started decorating and putting up tree, i want you to show us all what your home looks like ! I'm sure you all have countless pics of your Christmas tree, your favourite ornament, etc...

Now let's see you bling up those pages ! Feel free to use glitter, rhinestones, glitter alphas, diamonds brads... Whatever bling-bling you want to add !

Below are two examples to get the creative juices flowing !

I didn't want to go crazy with embellishments because i wanted my pics to be the main focus
on my page. I created something "simple" (i used MissMint's Scrap in a Snap templates, set 4, this template was PERFECT !) and just added some discrete glitter sprinkles as a little finishing touch ! Aren't those glitter stars the cutest ?! AH, I'm seriously in love with them ! :)

Here, on the contrary, i used a lot of elements and created an intricate border with many layers ! There wasn't much space available for glitter so i didn't add any, otherwise the page would have really looked busy ! I just added glare on the little puffy stars and it totally did the trick ! ;)

OK, now your turn ! I can't wait to see your pages !
Get creative and have fun playing with your pics !

Happy scrapping to everyone ! ;)
Ingrid

that's difficult ! we don't put up the tree before christmas... we do put it up the night before, but we only switch the lights on when the children come in and we start to celebrate... BTW that's on the 24th - so only 10 days left :gah:

i have to finish the calendar until tomorrow (5 pages and title :cover:) - after that i might have the time to do something blingy, but without christmas pictures - if that's ok...

maybe i'll try to take some pictures of the christmas market i'm working on all weekend - it's just that i'm sitting there freezing all day and i am worried the camera won't like the temperature- have to think about that!

Well, it's time i announced our winner for this MBM. It was hard to choose because all pages posted look so festive ! It breaks my heart all the time when i have to select just one !

OK, i choose BansGran's page ! I love how she scrapped pics of her dogs and the blanding is just fantastic ! Also love how she included a subtle touch of glitter and how she used the Santa stamp !

Bravo BansGran ! You will soon receive your Minty buck ! :)

Thanks for playing Ladies ! It was a fun challenge !
