Scrap Addicts Monthly Challenge - Christmas Eve Layout

One of my aims for this year is to scrap more......and do more scrap challenges.......so here is the first one..........at the Scrap Addicts forum on Craftbubble there's a monthly challenge...... and this month Kathy has set a sketch challenge.

I decided to do a layout of our Christmas Eve dinner.........it's very rare I scrap myself........I have very few photos of myself..........I hate photos of myself..........I am always the one behind the camera...........but DD2 has decided that if she has to be photographed........then so do I....... which I s'pose I can't argue with...........but as the camera's mine........at least I control the delete button!!
So decided to do a page of me and OH.......a rarity indeed!!!

The photo's a bit dark [surprise,surprise]........the colours are deeper, if you know what I mean...........all the papers are from an old HOTP Christmas pad.........and the stamped sentiment is one I love from Penny Black.
Don't expect to see many more like this!!!!

Good for you, Jacky :-) I too am always behind the camera rather than in front of it! I'm challenging myself to include some self-portraits as part of Scrap Your Day this year, but I don't guarantee to put them on my blog...

Thanks for sharing, it's a lovely layout xx

Fab LO Jackie. I love those festive colours and the vintage feel of this page. The pics are great and you really get a sense of the occasion. Lauren x

Great layout Jacky - love your blend of papers. I also plan to get back on the scrapping bandwagon. I have longish posts about that planned for my blog on Satuday & Sunday.
See you then!

why are we all the same? I'm trying to scrap myself more, hopefully it will scare me into losing weight!! Love your layout and the link to site.

I rarely even like photos of myself (thus the lack of image on my blog!) so I can completely empathize with you. Great layout I can't wait to start scrapping! Might even be this wend if I print some photos out at home!
