Life has been moving along and I have been truly enjoying my kids and their concerts, soccer games, a field trip and Lacrosse games.  I do have a page to share with you--it's actually a second take on a page I made a while back for Scrapbook Circle:

And here is my lift for this month using the All is Bright kit:

 I wanted to recreate the border on the top--one of my favorite features of the inspiration page..I also liked using the printables exclusive to each Scrapbook Circle kit for the borders, one other feature that was included on this page were the exclusive Merry & Bright digi cuts.  I think I really enjoyed scrapping something that happened during the month of December..my kids were SO excited to have the local tv station come and visit their school and get up close to the helicopter!
well, I'm off and running have another Christmas party this evening to get ready for--thanks SO much for stopping by!
