Good morning and welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for December. You should have made your way here from Lori's blog. If this is your first stop, you might want to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.
For my layout today I have chosen a sketch from the new Sketches for Christmas book. I love that I can take a sketch from a Christmas sketch book and use it for something else. I sometimes have trouble thinking outside the box on these things. If I see a sketch with Christmas samples, I want to make a Christmas layout, but looking through this book I can see so many ways to adapt the sketches to make them work for whatever layout I am working on.
Since this was a two page sketch and I only used the right hand side of the sketch, I needed somewhere to add my journaling. For this layout I just added it behind one of the photos.
You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the Scrapbook Generation store, There are four free sketches every month in case you wanted to try it out. You can find a link for the November free sketches here.
Next on the hop is Cicily. Check out her beautiful blog to see what she has created. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter will receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store.
The winner will be drawn on Monday, December 8th which leaves you one week to leave a comment.

Isn't it amazing that you can use a specific holiday sketch but you use it for a different reason! I like the idea of adding the journal behind one of your photo. I love the colours! Your title sounds so fitting! Way to go!
