The background paper is from the Playful Patterns - Holiday 6x6 paper pack and the sentiment from the Santa's Helpers Stamp Set was stamped with Earl Grey. The Snow Flurries Sequins finish it off.

Love the tags!! My favorite Christmas memory is my Dad bringing in a fresh cut tree and hanging the trimmed off branches over the dining room arch. Then sitting by the fire. Great memory!

I like how you made the shadows on the snowman card. Really makes it stand out...... My favorite Christmas memory is when my dad left us clues to follow & at the end we found a ping pong table for the family. Only time he did anything like that.

My favorite Christmas memory is the year my family decided to make homemade gifts for everyone instead of buying presents. We had lots of fun keeping what we were making a secret from the others and learning to make new things.

I too love the shadowing on the snowman card and your tags are darling!

Love the shadows on the snowman card. My favorite memory is sneaking downstairs in the morning to see what santa had left us. It was always the greatest gifts no matter what.
