This month at Kraft It Up it's all about Christmas, so lets get into the spirit, we want to see a layout about your Christmas traditions.  There doesn't have to be heaps, it can be just one or it can be more it is totally up to you.  Make sure you have a photo of your tradition(s) and that your layout is created on Kraft or Kraft PP.IT'S CHRISTMAS So lets get in to the Chrissy Spirit!!! I want to see a layout about your Christmas Traditions. You don't have to do a few traditions you can pick your favourite it is totally up to you. We need you to have a photo of your tradition and your creation must be on Kraft Cardstock or Kraft Patterned Paper...

* Due to the delay in getting the challenge posted you will now have until 7th January to link your challenge to this post.

Santa's Lap



One of our Christmas Traditions is every year someone in my DH's family has to dress up as Santa and we ALL get a turn to sit on his lap.  There is always so much laughter and fun when Santa arrives, but I think the little ones have noticed that Santa looks a little odd!!

I used some Basic Grey Jovial pp... just adore this range, the flowers are perfect for fussy cutting and the colours are so delicious, so you will be seeing this range pop up on quite a few of my creations as I have been going to town with it!!    I have Kraft as my background and added some black paint splatters, then distressed and inked the edges to grunge it up a little.  The Santa bingo card is from Simple Stories and the gorgeous Christmas charm is a new range of Charming Chains handmade by Tracy at my2angels.

  14. Fabulous fussy cutting again Cathy. My mum scraps too and she has a similar style to you and when I see her fussy cutting, it just blows me away as does yours.
    Love the touch of black and white against the kraft and red and green and how awesome that the kids still enjoy the spirit of Chrissy....fab.
