Making a wild page - wilder

Because why not.

This is the SC January kit - Summit and

This paper just spoke to me in all

its colorful, wild glory

that I knew my leftover flamingo 

would be soooo perfect.

(The flamingo was leftover from the "cards"

I made for the grands. See here.

 More pink and really more pink

how wrong can that be???

 And then found the perfect PL card to use as a title.

Little bit of journaling in the

 conversation bubble.

Then I went to some older photos because I

knew I had some flamingo pix

with Owen in them.

And yup. Jungle Gardens when he visited in 2013.

Of course a frame is required to contain

some of the wildness.

This was just a lot of fun.

Studio Calico, Quickutz die.

Christmas cards/ornaments

Broke out another Quikutz 4x4 die

(I'm so rockin' them this week)

Actually it's been over a couple weeks.

I had this flamingo.

Why?

Seriously, I can't answer that except it was

probably an impulse buy many

many many many many

years ago.

And I forgot it was Santa themed.

 So each one of the grandkidlets are getting one.

Their names are on them, and yes,

even the boys are getting pink - because

flamingos are pink.

 I put straws on them wanting to make an ornament type

so they can hang them on their trees if they wish
or just mess around with them. I ordered straws from Studio Calico

(they were on sale) but because

of all the black Friday happenings they shipped late.

So instead of green straws they are pink.

And these pink one's from M's came in 100 piece pack.

Anyone neeeed any pink straws??

Please?

It was actually a lot of fun to do.

Alot of die cutting.

I was also going to use cotton balls for 

Santa's hat but, where's the fun in that so I decided to roll

with stickles. 

Why do I not use stickles more often???

We are have decorated for Christmas - the big tree

needs to get set up.

All in All we are rolling really early this year

mostly because Shane was here and

he was the one to bring it all down from the attic.
How're your decorations coming?

 Bazzill Cardstock.

My tutorial take on non-traditional Christmas colors

I decided to go with the nontraditional color palatte

because well....

it was a challenge.

 I had to dig through way too much stuff

to find papers.

 And accessories.

I used watercolors to make up for lack

of some colors and to enhance others.

I have wanted to use that bow and my flamingo

die cut.

Because grammy lives in Florida - get it? LOL.
Both provide a bit of whimsey especially the flamingo because as you 

can see some of the kidlets are dressed for winter.

Finally used that flower soft stuff I've had for
a million years!
The title placement drove me crazy - 

short trip I know -

I put it everywhere on the page,

and it finally found a home.

Whew....

Ta-da!

Hope you have as much fun as I did with this

beautiful color palatte.

Merry Christmas!!!
