WOW where is the time going...it wasn't that long a go that we said hello to the 1st of December and now its exactly 2 weeks till Christmas!! Eeeekk...
Well its last week of school for the year in our household and I got a little teary this morning thinking of my little boy finishing his first year of school....I mean how can that be...it was just the other day he was so excited to be starting 'big school'!! I am so proud of how far he has come this year...he can read books all by himself, recognise and spell words, adds up and subtracts, understands the basic concept of science and much much more and I have to remind myself he is only 5!!!! I don't ever remember knowing all that at 5...he so deserves some down time, some fun and I am going to make sure that is exactly what we do.
Anyway, I wanted to share a recent layout I created for Manor House Creations. I am so slack at getting Christmas photos scrapped, so this is one from last year.

I have added so much texture to this layout...the gorgeous White Winter Song flower is fairly textured already but I have added some more texture paste for added interest. Loving the little pops of red too....
Glittery thickers are just perfect Christmas layouts I reckon...and I so LOVE my silver scatter stars..
And I have been dying to use these stunning Christmas tress from Dusty Attic....lots of gesso, texture paste, Shimmerz Enamlz and some silver Shimmerz around the edges for a 3D effect.
And to finish this post off....here is a sneak peak at my December Daily...I am going for more of a mixed media feel to this mini and I am having so much fun! A little behind as this week is super busy for me but hopefully next week when we are all on holidays I can catch up.
So what do you reckon...??? Want to see more??? LOL
Hope you are having a wonderful week and thank you so much for stopping by :))
Till next time...
Hugs
