You'd Better Not Pout!!

My youngest grandchild - Little Miss Ashley has such an expressive face - just like her older sister Eden when she was that age. I took a number of photos of her in the summer this year and this one gave me the idea for a Christmas card.

I used a Basic Grey paper - Blitzen and Tesco had some lovely reindeer ribbon and 12 little wooden reindeer for 99p. I stitched around the photo.

The inside opens to read...

Here is her Christmas present - well one of them. I couldn't resist it. Ohhh...it's sooo cute. I'm not a 'teddy bear' lover but this daddy bear and baby were irresistable. The daddy bear reads the whole story - 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' and the baby interupts with giggles and laughter.
He's already been wrapped and posted to open on Christmas Eve. We won't be seeing Ashley until 27th but I dare say, Daddy and Baby bear will come too!
Have fun with your Christmas preparations. Toots for now.

What a hOOt!

Now that Halloween is behind us, I can concentrate on the next event - Guy Fawkes Night. However, I needed to post this layout after all the fun I had dressing up with Boris!

I visited a house that was FANTASTICally dressed for Halloween and got some cool photos. I made this page for the family as a keepsake.

These are pumpkins from past years as I didn't carve one this year. I hope you all had a Frightfully Spooktacular Halloween.
