Using this wonderful sketch

 from our Leah.

 Webster's Pages

 "Home For The Holidays"

 Have I really had it

 THAT long.....

The flourish bling is

 from Kaiser.

White flourish dies from

 Memory Box

"Turtle Dove"

daughter in law, and

 middle Granddaughter,

It's my reveal day over at

 Stuck On U Sketches

 today, with my first

 layout of 2015.

 

A beautiful photo of two of

 my Granddaughter's visiting

with Santa last month.

 

This week's fab sketch is

 from our Leah.

Using Kaiser papers from the

 "Twig & Berry" Collection,

 and the collectables from the

same collection.

Distressing and layering.

Some Crate Paper bobble trim

 from their

 Peppermint Collection.

The subtitle was the first words

 uttered by Santa when the

 children woke him from

 his slumber in front

 of the fire.

 

Rebekah and Emma were dressed

 in similar jackets and had

 their hair done the same.

 

Santa was a riot. I have to say he is

the BEST Santa I have ever met.

Totally off the cuff.
Daughter and I

were in hysterics, behind the

 children. It went straight

 over their heads.

 

He was marvellous with the children,

and I really hope he is

 there next year.

 

We were at Burns' Cottage, Alloway, Ayr.

You've all heard of Robert Burns

 - our National Scottish poet!

 

The cottage is where he

was born - in 1759.

 

It was lovely to see it transformed into a

 Christmas Wonderland.

 

Though Emma (the youngest at 5)

 was disappointed when she

didn't get to see

Rudolph!

When Santa asked the children the

 requisite question "What would

 you like for Christmas?",

the Elf nearly gave herself a

 hernia, jumping up and down,

when Emma answered,

 truthfully, "Pixie Dust"

 

She wanted to be able to fly

like the reindeer, and figured

Santa would be the

right person to ask!

It was a lovely day with the

children, and methinks the

 last year Rebekah will

 believe without

question!

 

She is already doubting!

I have been a bit liberal with

the sketch this week, adding

a few bits to the bottom of

 the page. I don't do

 white space very well!

 

Remember to visit

 Stuck On U Sketches

for inspiration from my

 fellow Sous Sisters,

 and their wonderful

 layouts from the

 same sketch.

 

I hope you also have time

 to join in our challenge.

 

We love to visit your

blogs and leave

 some love.

 

Until next time.

SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Only 5 sleeps to go.....

 

Here is my interpretation

of the last sketch for

 2013 from

 Stuck On U Sketches

 

 

The Sketch

by

Nanne...

I have used the beautiful

Christmas collection of papers from

 Teresa Collins

"Christmas Home"

The circular frame around

the photo was achieved using

 two dies from

Spellbinders

 "Grand Decorative Circles One"

and Bazzill c/s

 "Ivy"

The Bauble is stamped with

 Just Rite

 "Noel Christmas Ornaments"

 using Versamark

 and heat embossed with

 American Crafts EP.

 

 Then die cut with

 Spellbinders

 "2010 Heirloom Ornament".

A wee bit

 Dimensional Magic

 on the

 Holly Berries.

Treasured Memories from

 Christmas 2010

 in

 Perth,

Western Australia.

We're not outside at this time

 of year with those little dresses

 on I can assure you.

 

 It's Baltic in Scotland

 - but, still no sign of

 snow....bahhhhhh.

Hopefully you will have

 time to join us over at

 Stuck On U Sketches

 amid all the festive flurries.

 

Do try to get over and see

 what my fellow DT girlies

 have done with the sketch.

 

 Would love to see your

 take on it too.

 

Love

 &

Christmas Hugs
