*Updated post* ~ I added the picture, Merry Christmas

I have challenged myself to get all of my layouts done from last years pictures before the end of this year. Having said that, today's layout is a picture taken last year on Christmas morning of the kids. They were pleasantly surprised when they opened the presents from grandma. A digital camera for my son and a tablet for my daughter. They are constantly reminded that Jesus is the reason for the season. I am so proud to have such blessings in my life.

This layout was inspired by the October stamp of the month from close to my heart. My version varies from the original but I tried to stay true to the sketch. I used the October stamp of the month for the ornament, snowflakes and mittens. I used the Artiste cartridge for the phrase. The paper is from Ecko Park "Merry Christmas" packet.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful evening,
