The Splendor of Christmas





Good Sunday morning to you all..
Christmas is slowly, but surely creeping around the corner and I love making Holiday layouts..
Here is a layout I spent the last few days working on. The photo is of my hubby Mike, our youngest son Adam and in the back is our son Aaron and daughter Amber.. We were at Santa Park here in Finland for the holidays with my in-laws back in 99.. The kids had such a great time while we were there..
Here are some close ups and all of the details..
I have enclosed the download file if anyone is interested in the design.. You will have to separate all of the cuts, I have not done that for you.. I just copy and paste as I go...sorry!

Just click Here for the file..


close up of the title.. I really like how it came out.. my fingers were so full of glue by the time I got done with the title, that I'm afraid I got it all over the place..




The other part of the title..




A close up of the mantle of the fire place.. I like the way it turned out.. I forgot to add the stockings though..LOL






and close up of the candles.. I added some white liquid pearl to give it that melted wax look.




and then of the rocking horse, tree and gift box..
