I had a family emergency. I'll post my picks tomorrow! Thanks for understanding.
Okay, here goes.....SO much inspiration in this week's gallery, even with the busy holiday events of the season!
SINGLE PAGE:
Loved this page by Karyn_Sue! I always struggle with creating an opening page for my themed albums, and especially now that I am traveling so much, this page grabbed my eye. The pinks and blues, the way Karyn used the die cuts and word strips, and her phone cut out with the map were so creative. I especially liked how she used torn edges to highlight the sky and clouds, and the plane gives movement to her theme.

DOUBLE PAGE:
I really like the flow across the pages achieved with the wavy border strips, and the use of colorful patterned papers on this cheery layout. The separation across the pages using the triangle and squares heart really captured my eye, and the title work is perfect. Such cute photos, too. Great page, Trisha!

CARD:
A simple card, but I loved the torn edges, the mix of patterned papers top and bottom, and the sweet snowman with the red heart banner. I also liked how Nana stamped snowflakes across the white. The sentiment surprised me, but then I thought about how someone not feeling well in winter would be cheered getting this card in the mail!

And I had to include a Christmas card this week, too! Karen's base of white, embossed with the big leaves, is a dramatic pop against the red. I like the simple sentiment, and the lovely poinsettias using a transparency.

TAG:
Again, a simple tag, but Brigit used a very cute smiling Santa along with a few tags to make it pop!

JOURNAL:
This page made me laugh out loud! I haven't carved a pumpkin in several years, yet the story and photos immediately brought back the slimy, sweet smell and all the seeds! Cute photos document the event, and I like how Carrie did her journaling.

HOME DECOR:
Leslee's table topper is just stunning! Love the design, the patterns of fabric, and the size. Wish I could quilt!

GENERAL CRAFTS:
Look at these cute bookmarks that Ashley N made! So colorful, great stamping and coloring. I know I would use these for myself, and would tuck some into stockings for my family readers!

Sorry for the huge sizes, but I have not posted for so long that I forgot how to link. But at least you can see them well! Hope you will go over and leave this week's winners some love on the page links! And Merry Christmas to you all!

Thank you for selecting my card. This was for a lady at my church who had been in the hospital for months recovering from a heart transplant. She would not be home for Christmas so I chose a winter scene. I knew she would get Christmas cards from others and wanted to mix it up a little. The good news is that she is recovering nicely and will be home in January.
