A VISIT WITH SANTA CLAUSE

Hi all, just a short post for today. I have been kind of sad today, yesterday I lost a very special person in my life. She has been a valuable influence on my life for all of my life. And her absence will be felt for many years to come. I was not very creative today and spent some time going through old photos remembering happy times. So, while I did not make any cards, I did do some scrapbooking and my project today is of a picture of me with Santa Clause.

The picture was taken at Walmart last year. I was walking through the store doing my shopping and I guess Santa was having a slow day. They asked me if I wanted to take a picture with Santa and I agreed. When I told my granddaugthers that I had taken a photo with Santa, they got such a kick out of that. The DP paper is from The Paper Studio. The paper pieced Santa is from Kayla Kreations. The paper with the swiss dots is Bazzill. I cut the title with my Cricut and the snowflakes were punched with a Martha Stewart punch and glitter paper from Walmart was used for both. And since I am here, I guess I might as well enter this page into a couple of challenges.
