Do you Believe in the Magic of Christmas?

After this past Christmas I am pretty sure that my son, Connor, does! For months, I mean literally months, he has been talking non-stop about the X-Box One. That is all that he wanted for Christmas. One day he even told me that if he didn't get that, he wouldn't even have a Christmas because that is all that he wanted! I knew he would love this gift so I pre-ordered it months ago but of course, like the good Mom that I am, I couldn't tell him that I gotten it for him! I had to torture him ( and myself because I had to keep hearing about it daily) and tell him that I was having a hard time finding it anywhere because they were all sold out! HA!! It was so worth it on Christmas morning when he ripped open this present!! And yes...he LOVES it!!! 
     I was inspired to create this page by the color challenge here on Kelly's page, which is part of the scrap friends challenges as well as the awesome sketch challenge at Let's Capture our Memories and the current challenge at Scrap our Stash, which was to use 5 (enamel dots), 4 (patterned papers), 3 (stickers), 2 (photo frames) and 1 rub-on.



I also created this layout in record time! It just seemed to come together so quickly! It is a Steal from the Saturday challenge at My Scraps & More and I was also inspired by the challenge at Twisted Tuesdays to use washi tape AND something on my page that started with one of the letters in the word "tape". I used enamel dots!



Thanks for looking!!

Absolutely LOVE what you did with the SOS challenge and my color challenge for the January Scrappy Friends! Such a fun Christmas layout and my Connor also ONLY wanted the Xbox One for Christmas which wasn't easy tracking down I might add!!! Thanks so much for playing along in the Scrap Our Stash and Scrappy Friends challenges! :)
