Home For Christmas!
Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is this photo:
Seeing all of the homes in the inspiration photo brings back fond memories of packing the kids and going to Mom & Dad’s home for Christmas. There used to be about 40 of us that celebrated together each year. When my parents became older, they moved to a senior housing so our big holiday celebrations had to end. My Dad is no longer with us as well, so that also changed things. So many good memories though.
I used the Welcome Noel Bundle and added lots of layers on a banner from the Party Banners Dies:
