What's in your Stocking?

HOWDY ALL!

This is my last layout for the challenges this month on the Yahoo Group Scrappin'-n-Chattin'. The challenge was to make a list on your layout. I knew when I seen it, I would make a layout of the girls looking at what Santa put in their stocking. So, I had to find a sketch and found this one over at Sketches in Thyme :
here is my layout:
a close-up of the left side:
a close-up of the right side:

I am also entering this over at ScrapFIT for their Simple Things Challenge. The simple thing of my Daughter, SIL and my PRECIOUS Granddaughters spending the night here on Christmas Eve means the WORLD to me. I LOVE seeing their faces when they see what Santa brought. They actually live less than 5 miles away, but my Daughter doesn't think it's Christmas if she isn't with her Momma! LOL! LOVE IT!

The papers are from The Paper Studio: Happy Hootin' Holidays Stack
The small abc's are from Creative Memories
The large abc's and chipboard shapes are Bo Bunny Double Dot Pink Punch

OOPS!

I played along with Sketches in Thyme take 65, to use this sketch:

I also used the recipe challenge over at Frosted Designs to use:

3-Patterned papers

These are my grandson's playing with their new Train table that they received for Christmas. Their Momma sent me this picture on my phone a couple hours after they left here on Christmas day. It had to be put together so they didn't get to play with it until Daddy got all together. They just LOVE it.
