Ooh these are lovely! I really like the background choices, everything has such a warn cozy feel. Beautiful job on the challenge.

I LOVE these vintage Christmas pictures. Can you imagine ice skating in an outfit like that . Beautiful take on the challenge.

I love the vintage feel of these . All he needs is a can of Coca Cola in his hand. Love how the blue pops against the white background .

Thank you for the challenge. It was a challenge because I've never done an ATC before.

I love her outfit, straight out of White Christmas and Santa Miracle from 34th Street. This is so beautiful and so my jam, very vintage Christmas . Love that background and the free spirited scattering of sparkles, stars and snowflakes. I love the randomness, my random brain & I struggle with...

This is beautiful, Cheryl, what a cool take on the template. I love all of the holly in the corners.

That is a darling photo, I can see the Christmas magic in her eyes. & really like the way you mixed the two shades of snowflakes, it's so elegant. Love the snowman in the cluster, looks like he materialized from those snowflakes.

This is beautiful , Chris, there is magic in fresh fallen snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. You totally have a way with magic, I guess you have a magic touch ?

Oh, I'm glad she enjoyed the snow, bring her to MN, we got 7.5 inches Saturday . I spotted this from the gallery, Vicky, you can probably greess why, yes, the glitter. Actually it reminds me of a quilt block. What a clever spot to put your journaling.

Wowzah! This is a FABulous take on the layout. I hadn't seen this kit yet, and I love what you've done with it. The striped background makes me hungry for candy canes. I like the little windmill embellishments.

What a great take on the , challenge . I love the out of bounds effect, but I'm half expecting kitty to come leaping through the circle. Pretty cluster, it looks like red M&M's that kitty it coming after.

Your avatar is a hoot, I LOVE the hat! you definitely look merry AND bright.

I will never forget when a third grade boy came up to me in the hall one day at school and said "Mrs. Pahl, that outfit is totally inappropriate. I was wearing a lovely long sweater & stirrup pants (yes stirrup pants) outfit. It was a pretty shade of brown with gold in it. When I asked him what...
