It's getting very close to Christmas Day and I can't wait!! We are spending it with my family in Cork this year. My children are still little so I am looking forward to christmas morning and seeing the wonder in their eyes. I think this is the most splendid day of the year.
I was recently in Athlone with my two little monsters and husband to participate in a Christmas Jamboree party hosted by the fantastic Create With Kate (Walsh) at the Hodson Bay Hotel. I had a lovely time but I wasn't able to really get stuck into the classes because my children kept coming in and wanting me to go with them for one reason or another. (I'll be going on my own next time :) !!!)
One of the classes I tried to do was Martina Downes Tim Holtz Christmas Wreath Class. I was in and out of the room so much I ended up takeing lots of photos and buying the supplies I needed afterwards from Create With Kate, Cardz'n'Scrapz, Scrapbook.com and especially Lindy's Stamp Gang for their incredible sprays.
The LSG December color challenge is as shown above and I made this wreath based on the color scheme shown for a great friend Vicky.
