Santa's Workshop

I've made this layout for this past Christmas pictures.  My daughter and our neighbor's son go to the same baby-sitter and naturally, always play together.  Occasionally, we'll have dinner together and sometimes a few drinks too. =)  I really love my neighbors because me and the mom get along great!  Especially when it comes to taking pictures of our kids....hence, these pictures.

I know I designed this layout with the help of a sketch from online.  I thought I had pinned it to my Pinterest, but I didn't. =S I have been searching for the sketch but it just doesn't want to be found.  Sorry guys.

Here's the goodie details of the layout

Recipe for page, above:
Paper: I found all of the designer cardstock at Ben Franklin's 50% red tag sale!  Whoo hoo!  But here's the finer detail:

• Pebbles - Welcome Christmas: Candy Cane, Santa's List, and Trim the Tree

Christmas Trees: Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge

• Tree Sizes: 8 3/4", 5 3/4", and 4 1/2"
• Paper that I used for the trees:  all came from my "scrap" box.  Off the top of my head, the darkest green: Bazzill Green, medium green: Bazzill Parakeet, and I don't know what the lightest green is.  I do know it's a Bazzill "Smoothie" Cardstock style.  For the trunks: the darkest brown: Bitter Chocolate, the light brown, I don't know.

Title: "Santa's Workshop" came from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge as well.  I don't remember the size that I used.
Photo Sizes: Two 4" x 4"

Paper: same as above

Dear Santa

I orginally was going to use this for a page, for something along the lines of "writing my thank you cards" but instead I came up with this =)  For anyone who's wondering, yes...this was part of our Christmas pictures.  She just finished up opening up all her presents while I was taking pictures of her opening them, shortly thereafter my husband and I started opening up our Christmas presents/my birthday cards when she found one of our cards and started to write on one of the cards.  I thought it was cute, so I snapped a picture.  =) 

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Cooking with Cricut - Christmas in July - Cricut & Scraps
Bitten By The Bug 2 - Christmas in July
Celebrate The Occasion - Challenge #72 - Star Struck

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my project.
