Randomly drawn winner of this challenge is MaganL!  PM me your address and I will send you a little prize goody!

This is a "Christmas in July" challenge! Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I never run out of photos to scrap for it.  LOL  So, please scrap a Christmas layout using one of the titles on this awesome list I found (just use this list on the graphic...I didn't include the blog post)!  If you don't celebrate Christmas, you may scrap a comparable holiday and adjust the titles to fit your layout (hopefully that works...if not, just pm me).



You have until midnight, Monday, August 3rd to upload your layout to the gallery spot I've provided to be entered in the prize drawing.
*Must be a new layout.
*CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except those requiring multiple prompts (30 Prompt, Team, 100 Papers, etc.)

Yeah!!!  This one will be fun!! Lots of Christmas photos to go. 
Just checked to see if #2 was up while I cut paper and printed photos for #1.

Oh, how fun!! This is perfect --- a) I just got some retro Christmas papers in my latest Echo Park order and b) I wanted to work on the "kids with Santa pictures" album so we can put it up with the Christmas stuff with the other Christmas albums. I think I have about 5-6 years left to do. But there is always one ongoing...so I'd like to finish an album and put it away! I am getting a little stressed out at all the "real estate" the albums/layouts are taking up in the apartment! At least we can put the holiday ones away until whatever holiday...if I would finish an album!

I completely get that!  I do so many Christmas layouts that I have some separate Christmas albums, too.  I struggle to decide which layouts go in the yearly albums, and which ones go in the Christmas albums.  LOL

I'm trying to get more organized and intentional with layouts/albums and try to do layouts for albums I already have to finish them off, instead of just willy-nilly. Although I still do willy-nilly. I have an album going for DD's friends etc layouts and thought she could keep it in her room, and she says SHE has no room and can I keep it "out there" (living room/dining room) so that kind of backfired LOL. I also started an album to give to her BFF (Alexa) for Christmas from me that will be ongoing, so that's an album that can live elsewhere and I still get the fun of making layouts LOL! I just have to declutter some stuff that we don't need/want anymore to make room, haha! But the Christmas / December layouts are going to be the death of me. DH and DD have December birthdays, on top of Christmas. I guess I have to make a birthdays album LOL!

Oh and I meant to say that I will totally be keeping this list of Christmas titles long after this challenge is over. Great stuff!!

I was totally resisting the Christmas in July thing, but I guess now I will have to give in and get some photos printed up!

[PEIhaven]

I chose the title Christmas Cuties.  Thanks!

[sherelm]

This is mine, I used the Title from the list "Christmas KIsses"  and added and Gingerbread for obvious reasons.

I looked up the rest of them on the blog, they are really clever!  I actually was going to plead my case if there was a Gingerbread quote on the blog part... Lol

Like I said in the 1st challenge, I took this Christmas theme and ran with it to play with some new papers and things. And then I took the symmetrical double page design from that challenge and carried it over here LOL! Why reinvent the wheel? Some funny outtake pictures from a visit to Santa...

I will eventually replace this letter with the original but could not place my hands on it before the deadline.  These are such sweet memories.
