Dream, Believe, Imagine: The Paper Variety Challenge

It has been a while since I have been able to play along with The Paper Variety challenges. I have been home with sick kiddos since Sunday. After a couple days I was needing some 'me' time so I sat down and played with paper a bit. TPV's current challenge is a Bingo one. I love those kind of challenges! My bingo line was stitching, create a layout and use a die cut (the snowflakes are die cuts).

I have been struggling scrapping my Christmas (from 2010) photos. My mojo wasn't flowing so I went and browsed my Paper Play folder at Pinterest. This is the layout I used for inspiration, and this is my layout:

I used some of my Cosmo Cricket stash.

My poor kiddos have been hit by the sickies. It started with Peyton last week. He had a high temp, sore throat and nasty cough. It finally went away on Wednesday afternoon and he was able to make it back to school on Thursday. Unfortunately it hit Maddy on Wednesday and she is still struggling. :-( I caught her napping half in the recliner, half off.

Thanks for stopping by!

I am thankful for:

30. For patience, not mine (cause I lack it) but patience others have for me.
29. Games, they are a great way to spend time with family!
28. Four seasons, they all have things I love about them.
27. My quiet time in the morning before the kids get up.
26. That my children love to spend time at their Grandparents and Great Grandparents.

23. I feel truly blessed for the in-laws I have. I enjoy spending time with them all.

Thanks for the blog love on my CC card. The sun is a doily die cut from Martha Stewart. I bought the doilies at M's in the MS section where the stickers are. I think they retail at $3.99 and you can use a coupon. :); March 5, 2012 at 8:05 PM
