DSD Grab Bags from Connie Prince

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Jennifer

For international Digital Scrapbooking Day (first Saturday in November), Connie Prince had two grab bags available. Unfortunately, my computer turned off by itself and wouldn’t turn back on right before iDSD, so I wasn’t able to share the layouts I created while the grab bags were available. You can still pick up the kits and coordinating pieces and they’re even on sale currently, but you can’t purchase the steal of a deal grab bag anymore.

The first grab bag I worked with is called Happy Holiday. I really love the blue with the traditional red, white and green Christmas colors.

I made two layouts with this one, both are from our 2013 visit with Santa. Journaling reads: Initially, Janette didn’t want anything to do with Santa Claus. After the hay ride to look at Christmas lights, we went back inside the community center to try one more time to talk to Santa. This time, a conversation about the jingle bells allowed her to get comfortable next to Santa. Janette still didn’t want to sit on his lap, but she at least smiled for a picture.

Journaling reads: It is always fun going to our neighborhood’s Christmas party. Santa and Mrs. Claus pay a visit and unlike the mall, there are very little lines to chat with Santa. After showing Santa Claus how her shoes lit up, Jessica was ready to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted: an alarm clock and furniture for her “little critters,” aka her Calico Critters.

I also worked with the other grab bag, Looking Back.

I really loved the scarecrow and fall elements and decided to scrap this year’s trip to the pumpkin patch. Journaling reads: After picking Jessica up from kindergarten, we headed to Manchaca Methodist Church to visit their pumpkin patch. With it so close to Halloween, the selection wasn’t the greatest, but Jessica and Janette both found pumpkins they liked. We even saw a ladybug while we searched for the best pumpkin. After paying for the two pumpkins, we took them over to their photo spot and the girls humored me by smiling.
