The Paper Shelter Challenge – Grandma's Christmas Tales!

Good morning, all!

Today we have a new challenge at THE PAPER SHELTER and as always it is

ANYTHING GOES and this is our 

🤶CHRISTMAS BREAK CHALLENGE 🎅 

I have used this sweet image called GRANDMA’S CHRISTMAS TALES and placed her in a Christmassy room where she is about to read to all her grandchildren. There are a lot; just look at all the stockings on the mantle! 


I love this fabulous image and thought that she should be Mrs Claus so I popped an image of her ‘hubby’ on the wall for her.


 

Ingredients:

TPS Digi Stamp: GRANDMA’S CHRISTMAS TALES

Colouring: Faber Castel Polychromo Pencils on Tan Toned Paper

Backing paper, Fireplace and Santa: Polkadoodles Vintage Toppers & Papers

Sentiment: POLKADOODLES SWEET CHRISTMAS GREETINGS BUNDLE

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Nesting Labels’ - Spellbinders ‘Snowflake Frame’ – Tonic Nesting Squares and Rectangles 

The Rest: Sue Wilson ‘Snowflake’ Embossing Folder

 

So please join us as it is always ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist and just look at what you could win….
