Decorating for Christmas

This has to be my favorite time of the year. It is also the most busiest time if the year. Shopping, decorating, wrapping and hosting demand a lot of my precious time as do the kids parties, school pageant and activities. But...sometime you need to take a little time for yourself and do what makes you smile. For me, it's crafting and creating. A month ago I started this project when attending a fabulous crop organized by two pretty fantastic crafters. We get spoiled all weekend and can craft to our heart's content without interruption. While there I was able to build the frame. It took quite a few 12x12 sheets of thick cardstock (think Stampin' Up) and the use if my amazing Silhouette Cameo. I finished this project one evening after my little ones were asleep and dear hubby at work. I had time to relax and let my imagination go wild. I wanted something fun and whimsical for this project. I, of course turned to my go-to; Doodlebug. All their collections somewhat match because of their beautiful colour palette. With Christmas as my theme and photos from last year's festivities, I put together a project that I will want to display for years to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
