Christmas at the Zoo!

Our family does a Christmas theme each year.  You can decorate, wrap, create cards, or do anything with the theme.  It is not a requirement, just something we do for fun.  My favorite theme was 'Christmas in Outer Space', but, we can't do that every year.

This year's theme, chosen by my nephew Niko, is 'Christmas at the Zoo!'.

Here is the card I made for this year.  I had been looking for an opportunity to use those tiny Christmas light embellishments and I though my lion needed a little decoration in his habitat.

Have a Roaring Good Holiday!

Paper Angels

This is a riff on a Paper Witches class I took on Creativebug.  I had my nieces (8 and 11) over to make paper angels and we had a blast!!  Next year I promised we would make paper witches..

All I did was put out old photos and some images of women that I copied out of books.  I added a pile of wings (die-cut and butterfly images), lots of paper and embellishments, scissors, and glue.  The girls (and their Mom and myself) made as many as we could.  This was my favorite.  It was a fun night!!
