Favorite Photos Week Challenge!

Yahoo it's Friday!  We've got another fun challenge for you to try, but first let's announce the wonderful winner of last weeks Merrymint challenge.  Congrats Lea to for your awesome card!  Thanks everyone for playing along... you definitely had me in the holiday spirit.  And without further adieu, here's this weeks challenge...

Here's another layout from Design Team Martha to give you some more inspiration...

Supplies:  Sugar Cookies paper (34917) - Merrymint, Marshmallow paper (34916) - Merrymint, Licorice paper (34905) - Merrymint, Candy Cane Lane paper (34898) - Merrymint, Glitter Cardstock silver (71416) - Glitter Cardstock, Ocean (71423) - Glitter Cardstock, Merrymint Marzipan (89205) - Ribbon, Let It Snow (70043) - Flair, Nutmeg White (43043) - Thickers, Letterbox printed chipboard shapes (77229) - LetterHouse

Martha says: "For my birthday this year my father collected a bunch of my childhood photos and had them put together in a book for me, it was the best gift ever as it brought back so many memories.  This photo in particular stood out to me, especially this time of year.  It is my brother in I standing in front of the Christmas tree way back in 1973 or so.  As we have grown older and moved to different states it has been years since we have been able to spend Christmas together so being able to pull out this photo and scrap it brought back so many happy memories and right now it is definitely one of my favorite photos!"

This is such an incredible layout, Martha.  I love that you scrapped an older photo and it's fun how just one picture can bring back so many sweet memories.

Now let's see your favorite photos!

1. The layout must be posted to an online gallery or blog with American Crafts in your supply list.

2.  You must leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your layout online.  You also must fill in your email address when posting your comment on this blog post.

3. Layouts and links must be posted by midnight PST on Thursday, December 24.

And we'll finish the week with a few more favorite photos from the Design Team... hope you've enjoyed taking a peek at these!

LOVE the new Merrymint line. This is one of my favorite photos of my son with Santa. I love that it is not the traditional Santa photo.
