Happy December, Darers!  We’re in the thick of the holiday season around here.  The tree is trimmed, the stockings are hung and the gifts are hiding in my closet ready to be wrapped!  There’s something wonderful about this time of year and this week, your challenge is to scrap about it!

But first, we have some winners to announce!

Congratulations to JaymeZ with this beautiful and touching layout:

Okay, back to this week’s dare…with HOLIDAY FLAIR!

Dare #158 Ghost of Christmas Past

We are going to go way back in time for this one! Use this http://www.random.org/integers/ to choose a year in your past. Set the first number to the year you were born and the second number to 1999. I got the year 1988 the first time, which I don’t remember, so I tried again and got 1980.

Now, think back to December of that year. Write down everything you can remember about that time, then turn it into journaling for your layout. Journaling should fill at least 1/4 of the page.

Since we are talking about the past, make your page look old!

For extra holiday flair, throw in some glitter.
