Hi everyone, :peep:



Pioufffff I dunno if you noticed that too, but I feel like we were October and *glitter fireworks, light blinking and fairies dust* hop hop hop we are in December.
November was gone as soon as it started... that is amazing ... or not LOL



Anyway I want to Thank my dear team, once more and officially, today.
They have been doing a wonderful job behind the scene.
Working as a team to come up with a challenge every month, they made the artistic magic on (almost :)) each and every Layout.
And most of all, I always found someone to help me out in a blink of the eyes.


Dropping a few emails, or a private message on FB, and I was ALWAYS able to get someone who could step in right away.


I am very thankful to have this team by my side.

Ladies (and Dids) THANK YOU


Now there is some (more) blah blah blah...you can read it, but you can scroll down to the challenge banner too ... I won't blame you

So November went really fast, and maybe we should look back ( for a very short time) and try to see what we did this month.
For me, beside working and kids related stuff,
I basically took care of some major event/sale in the digiworld ... like iDSD, Black friday, December party and some designer stuff.


AND I made Christmas trees.

find the tutorial here



Yeah, with some Mums of my DD's classmate we came up with some ideas to gather everyone out of the school time, and one of them was "Piparkökudagur" ( something like ginger bread decoration day) and some Xmas decoration.

I suggested to have a Christmas tree to hang the decoration on .... and I ended up doing it

and when my son saw it he wanted one too... so I did a very small one ( 30 cm) for him. (When we tried to bring the big one to school - which did not fit in the car, so I called a friend with a jeep to help me out - he wanted to bring a big one too, for his school...)

I managed to get him bringing the small one...
but the Art teacher asked me how to do it, so she could make a big one for the class etc etc

.... and guess what?

yes.... I ended up doing a second one.


( like I told a few friends, that is when I am thankful to have just 2 kids LOL)







Anyway ... I must have been contaminated by Xmas spirit early this year, because right after that I started designing a bunch of Xmas tree ... not really knowing where I was going

Until I figured out that it was a perfect challenge for this month!


(I know I am NOT really creative/original , there are a LOT of Christmas related Challenges going on .... I guess it is because it is christmas time LOL)



So moving on to the challenge now,

I think I always had a special love for layout with blocks/tiles, I call it block-game ... I know it is a weird way to say it, but to me it really looks like a game, so I want to make you play with me.
And , I like to see Layouts featuring tree/trees!
It can be all kind of trees, but since we are in December ( and since i made a bunch of pine tree lately ..) we could also use Pine/christmas tree? can't we?

I am having a little gift for you to get you started.
