Merry Days

The Bramble Fox Friends / Facebook Group challenge for February is called 'Pocket Fun' - Tuck in more photos or ephemera into a pocket or envelope. In answer to this challenge I made a layout for my daughter with photos taken in the garden just before their dance school summer show back in 2002. Christmas in July. The tap dance was to ' Santa Claus is Coming to Town' in a show call 'A Date to Dance'.

I used:
Bramble Fox Acrylic Phrase
Bella BLVD - Christmas Cheer collection, Merry and Bright paper and the sticker sheet
Thickers - Sugar Plum Wishes - foam and cardstock letter stickers
Bazzill Basics cardstock - Guacamole
