Good morning, happy Tuesday and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! It’s FINALLY getting a bit chilly in Texas today–maybe some snow/ice flakes later today??–and I’m in the mood to get cozy, stay indoors and open presents! I made sure to charge my batteries last night so I could take lots of scrappable pictures today! Can you believe this is the last challenge spotlight of 2012?! Where has the time gone?? I am wrapping up this year with one of my favorite challenges we have every month, the color challenge hosted this month by Moni of 2AM Designs! Let’s take a look at the lovely photo she found that has inspired her color palette for this month:
Pretty, wintery, rustic–I love it and I can see the color choices just popping out of this photo! (Boy, do I just adore mercury ornaments. Vintage beauties!) The green, brown and silver colors in this photo are just right for this time of year. Take a look at what the forum ladies have been creating with these colors in mind…

Such gorgeous layouts, ladies! I like how you can go through here and pick out the color palette, but they each used the colors so differently on their pages. Some awesome creations to end the year with. 🙂
This is the LAST full week of December, so make sure you’re wrapping up your challenges and getting them tallied up in the December Challenge Points Tracking thread. You’ll need to link all your pages so you can start 2013 off with a nifty reward. Who doesn’t want free buffet items or a store gift certificate? I sure do! 🙂
That’s about it! I need to go to sleep so Santa doesn’t skip my apartment! 😉 I guess there’s not much else to say but again, Merry Christmas and since it will happen before I blog again, happy new year! See y’all in 2013. 🙂

Well, I asked for snow. I got the snow. I didn’t get a lot, but I really did get some. They’re hinting at a White Christmas too. What I didn’t bargain for was the ice. Or the resulting snow day. Oh well, it’s so pretty outside, looking at all the whiteness. For those in the path of “Draco”, be safe! It’s a very windy storm. It’s also a very cold storm!
This week, I decided to dip into the “Buffet Challenge” layouts. There are some amazingly beautiful layouts there!
Created by Victoria32. I love that the focus is on the pictures. Plus, as someone obsessed with nutcrackers, I love that nutcracker!
Created by Joy2Scrapbook. I love lights, and these pictures are just amazing! The paper choices work SO well with it all!
created by gwtwred. I love the journaling around the W. That is SO cute! I love the W, period! I’m going to have to lift this layout for sure!
