Benjamin's 1st Christmas

This was my youngest son's 1st Christmas - the last 1st Christmas for our house. The design is based on a Page Maps sketch. I used asst old pps. The Pooh cut-outs were cut by hand - I got these as a prize about 10 years ago and have finally found a good use for them - Pooh was Benjamin's favorite when he was little. I did a lot of punched borders and the "balls", star and greenery on the tree are also punched. I doodled on the greenery with brown and on the balls with a Signo, then sanded it to soften the look. The star is doodled with a metallic gold. The frame was done with an old corner punch. The title is handlettered with pens. The snow is just torn white paper embellished with a metallic rub on. Then I added some white stitching and dots with the Signo. All the photo edges are sanded. Thanks so much for stopping by....
