December 2019

 Afternoon everyone

I finished this one on Sunday morning,  had brought out the papers late on Saturday when it had cooled slightly and nothing to watch on TV.

I cut out the squares on a second sheet of paper as they all number where in a row and as i wanted it to look like an Advent Calendar I wanted to mix up the squares. I thought fussy cutting out a second sheet was the way to go.

Since I had won 2 packs of "Letters to Santa " and early 2020 i had won another  pack as well I had plenty to muck around with. 

The challenge is for Case File No:341. Which is to use up your old stash and take inspiration from the photo. Letters to Santa is 3 years Christmas ago, i also used a bit from Twigs & Berry which i would ascertain would be at least 13years old. The picture to me , looks like an Advent Calendar
