Playing Catch-Up on Xmas Pictures

Yup, still playing catch-up on my xmas pictures. I sort of avoided scrapping any xmas pics for several years, and am now finally chipping away at them, challenge by challenge. Here's my latest, featuring Santa pics from 2009:

This layout was so quick and easy, and I am very pleased to be adding it to the Xmas album! I started with this fabulous sketch that is this week's challenge at Lasting Memories:

A few fun things to note: 1-My 3 circles down the right were punched out of kraft paper that came as packing material in a recent shipment I received. I drew in some dotted edging, crumpled them and added staples to "dress them up". 2-The line across my photos was done with my handy-dandy Dymo, I punched in a few of the kiddos wish list items that xmas. 3-The adorable holiday images were printed on the paper and seemed a bit flat, so I stitched around the tree to help it stand out a bit!

I hope you'll have a chance to give this great sketch a try, and then link it up at Lasting Memories for your chance to be in the top 3! =) T
