Talking to Santa

We had absolutely gorgeous spring weather on the weekend....which makes me feel a little strange to be showing you a Christmas layout today. The thing is, I am nearly finished my 2014 album (I'm so up-to-date, not exactly sure how that happened!) and several of my final layouts will be from Christmas. Such is life as a scrapbooker - always a little behind the current season....but that is okay.

I used this latest sketch from The Memory Nest:
And created this layout about my girls' visit with Santa. They really talked the poor guy's ear off...it was quite hilarious to listen to.
I used paper from Imaginisce and embellishments from Simple Stories and Bella Blvd on this page. I have a tin where I keep all my Christmas themed papers and embellishments and I just rummaged through that, picking out what worked with my picture and with the sketch.
Being one page closer to finishing my 2014 album makes me very happy.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the work of the other Design Team members here.
