I've decided to do something a little different for this challenge.  We brought home a new pup about a few weeks before Christmas (she was my early Christmas present). I took some shots of her checking out the tree and I figured that this would be a perfect excuse to create a scrapbook layout. I've based the layout on a sketch from Sketch Savvy and completed it using papers and embellies from the Jovial collection by Basic Grey. I love the effect that I was able to achieve by having the co-ordinating embellishments for this line. I think that I may need to consider buying like this more often as it made the task of creating the layout so easy and I love the finished result.

 

I do hope that you will join us for the challenge. Now that Christmas is over I am looking forward to spending a little more time looking at all of your blogs for inspiration.
