So happy that the week is marching on! I am totally looking forward to this weekend. Saturday I am meeting my friend and we are going to Archiver's to crop!! Yeah!! I am so excited!!
I am finally finishing up my holiday 2011! I don't really like to be more than a year behind. I don't scrap chronologically but I just don't like being that far behind. It is just my little pet peeve! So last year our family embraced the Elf on the Shelf concept and when I brought him home the boys wanted to name him. They came up with Charlie! I love the name! So Charlie had a lot of fun. I bought him late in the season so I was only able to capture a couple of photos of him. He loved to hide and they boys loved finding him every day!
For this layout I really broke into my stash- again using up what I already have! I got out some October Afternoon paper from last year and from 2 years ago. I layered it up and then used some Imaginisce Washi Tape. I used some old Bella Blvd letter stickers for the title. I then used some yummy twine from The Stringery and attached some of the awesome chipboard banner pieces. Finally the last thing I did was add some flair. I just love the flair from Shelly at A flair for buttons and the vintage Santas were awesome and just what I needed!

Adorable! That banner is so fabulous.
Great layout! I have to admit though. Elf on the shelf creeps me out just a tiny bit.
Charlie is adorable! I see he's getting into just the right amount of mischief. :) Love the layout and awesome banner! I need to get to work on a layout (or album, haven't decided) about our turkey on the shelf adventures.
So cute! I fall in line with gale! Someone gave us one and he has stayed in the box. :-) I keep saying I am going to put him on ebay, but that requires too much effort.
Wonderful wonderful layout as always...I especially love the banner at the top.
Such an awesome fun page!! Nice to be able to use up some of your stash. We just watched the Elf on the Shelf movie! Now that I know what it's all about I want to start the tradition too.
Cute page - another good incentive to break into the stash! LOL!
Very cute page!
Adorable page! Love this!!!! Perfect for Charlie :)
Great page. I love the border.
I wish the "Charlie" was around when my kids were small. What fun.
Oh so stinkin cute! Love all of the OA papers and what a great design!
We just got our Elf on the Shelf(x2). I'm so excited to see where he's/she's going to be in the mornings!! ;) Can't wait to get some pics so I can do an Elf on the Shelf layout!
This is incredibly adorable!!!! I really want one of those elves :D~ fab job!

Charlie is a cute name...I must do one of these little guys..they are just too fun...Great layout and love the photos..
That is too, too cute!
Thinking I want to do elf on the shelf this year :)
Very cute, is Charlie coming back out this year? waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
I did a LO from this paper too, love it!! Super cute and Charles is too!!!
What a fun layout! It's so bright and happy. We don't have an elf but my friend does and I love seeing her pics each day of what mischief her elf is getting into.
So great!! Love this! :)
Oh this is adorable! love everything about it!
What a fun layout! I love the idea of Elf on a Shelf and for the kids to find him each day, what a neat tradition!
gorgeous LO Mary Pat! Thanks for joining in again this month girly, love seeing what you make! xoxo
What a fun layout!
Cute layout, and this paper collection is perfect for it!
Sounds like a fun weekend! I'm the same way, I don't scrap chronologically, but I stay pretty much within a year or two of photos. I already scrapped last Christmas, because I knew I would forget things if I waited a whole year.
This is an adorable layout. I so love the banner you did!
Too cute! Love the paper collection!
What a fun thing to scrap! I love how you mixed the old & the new collections to create such a whimsical design!!!
Such a great page Mary Pat!! I'm so proud of you for using up your older stash.
Cute layout, we got an elf this year can't wait to see all the trouble he gets into
This is such a fun layout.
As creepy as that elf looks, I love the concept.
Not sure who has more fun with him, the children or the adults thinking up new ways to interactively put him around the house :)
Very cute and very vintagy looking!
I love this layout! The papers go perfectly with the photos of Charlie. What a fun memory to capture!
