Xmas Kitty

It's seems like forever since I done a challenge at Lasting Memories.  I've been way to busy December getting ready for Christmas, girl scouts and sick kid.  But I was able to get a layout done.

Since it was Sebastian's first Christmas with us, we took him to Petsmart to get his picture taken with Santa. I'm not sure if he liked it or not but I do know he did not like the wait in line with all those big dogs.

Liebster Blog

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory RCS-#17

It's the last challenge of the year at Red Carpet Studio and it is an anything sweet project.  It is open to our layout and card friends.

This week's sponsor is Vampire Craftin - http://www.etsy.com/shop/VampireCraftin.  You should check her out.  She redid my blog, isn't it pretty.

My layout has a story behind it.  This is the one time a picture is not worth a 1,000 words.  My Chinese Water Dragon, Stitch, was out on my kitchen table with me while I was making some gift bags for Christmas gift cards.  He usually just lays in one spot and sometimes he will move a little.  Stitch ran, like the retarded dinosaur that my daughter says, right to the plate of cookies.  I moved it away from him so he won't go on top of the plate.  A few seconds later he did the same thing but I was too slow.  As I moved the plate away, he had grab one of the cookies.  The cookie broke off and he actually ate the small piece in his mouth.  It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.  Don't worry he is just fine, he looked a little hype right after he ate it but is back to his normal mopey self.

I knew right away that this was the sweet challenge layout that I was going to do.  I hope you enjoy.

 

Go over to the Red Carpet Studio facebook page and check out the really cool 200 like prize.

 Here is what is under my tree..... Build A Bear!!!!!

Almost three years ago, my husband and I surprised my daughter with a build a bear monkey for her birthday.  I decided to pick the name Gigi for that stuffed monkey.  Ever since then, Gigi has done everything and anything with my daughter.  Gigi also have a very extensive wardrobe, I think that monkey and all her other friends have more cloths than me.  What is also sad, that Gigi is also getting some new cloths for Christmas.  That monkey is spoiled.

Everyone know that 'staches are the big thing right now.  Quincie made it popular with her hand person (Mr. Meatloaf) that a mustache.  After she made him, you saw those 'staches everywhere. 

I did this layout for Lasting Memories ( to use stamps) and Another freaking scrappy challenge (sketch). 

RCS # 12 ~ Famous Pets

It is the layout's team week at Red Carpet Studio,  so this week challenge is inspired by famous pet movies.  I really have no clue what my favorite pet movie is but I do love some of those supporting roles the animals play.  Like in Christmas Vacation, where the squirrel is in the tree and Snot chases him around the house.

But as everyone knows that follow my blog, I have several famous (to me) pets in the house.  I decided to do a layout with Sebastian. 

 

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Stamp-n-Doodle! The winner will receive two digital stamps of their choice.

Along with the randomly chosen winner of this week's challenge, the layout design team will also be taking a look at ALL of the layouts and voting on their top three "spotlight"submissions.
