Now onto my project! 

 

I had so much fun creating this super cute Christmas Layout! It is not your normal traditional type of Christmas activity, LOL. In 2010 my mother and one of my sisters decided to move to Colorado. That left just me and my youngest sister here in Southern California. We were pretty sad about celebrating the holidays alone so we decided to do something totally different for our Christmas Eve gathering. We went to play mini golf and ride some kiddie rides and had our Christmas Eve dinner at Denny's. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Our kids definitely agreed!

 

 

This Svg file from Miss Kate's Cuttables was perfect for these photos. Not too traditional, just like our evening. And full of Family fun!

 



 

This Martha Stewart Paper Pack ties this layout all together using (of course) my amazing Kiwi Lane Designs Templates. I used Cascade Trails 1A, Chestnut Drive 1A, 2B, and 3B.

 

 

A few journaling strips and some brown ink and I think it's perfect. What do you think?
