Here is what I came up with today...

Christmas Magic

Here is another layout with my kit. I really like it :-)

Mara's Christmas

Since I don't have a CT (haha!), I have to do the whole work by myself with my kit ;-)

So here is another page with it. This is a gift for my dear friend Cleo and her adorable little daughter Mara.

Dreaming of winter

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time!

Here is another page that I created with my kit Christmas Magic Reborn.

Christmas Magic Reborn - Full Kit Freebie

Once, when I was a child, I used to love Christmas because of all the presents and the festive, joyful season and the "happy" people around me, who always met somewhere to eat lots of delicious stuff that I learned to know as "Christmas food": the Romanian sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) or salata de boeuf (Russian salad)...

Much later I realized that, in my family, this whole Christmas happiness thing (like so many other things) was only a show and a huge lie (a lie that they were believing too, but nevertheless a lie). For the last 5-6 years Christmas has therefore always been a sad and painful and depressive time for me.

This year, partly because of my son David who is now one and a half years old, I rediscovered despite my depression a little bit of the joy Christmas should bring. The other part that helped me remember the beautiful side of Christmas was designing this kit. I really put a lot of love and work into this and I hope you will like it. Please show me all the layouts you make with it and I would also appreciate some nice comments ;-))

Thank you, dearest Antoanela, for allowing me to use the photos of Santa and the little sweet brown deer...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Don't forget that there is only one reason why we are all here in this world: to love and be loved!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I wish all and everyone of you a merry Christmas with lots of presents and joy and unforgettable moments among your loved ones! Don't ever forget that this season is all about love... or at least it should be...

I have a little present too, but the tradition in Romania says we don't open our presents until the first day of Christmas, on the 25th. So... see you all tomorrow with a little surprise ;-)

One miracle night

This kit is so beautiful, I had to create a page with David too ;-)

Peaceful winter

Today I didn't have much time (my husband is at home on his Christmas holidays and he gets really angry when I spend too much time in front of 'his' PC), but I still wanted to try a first page with Katherine's new lovely kit, Peaceful Winter, to get used to the kit, and this is what I came up with in a hurry...

I won a challenge!!!

Gosh, yesterday I was so schocked, that I forgot to mention this: I am the happy winner of the November shapely challenge (and a $ 10 gift certificate) on Pickleberrypop !!! We were supposed to use a shape 10 times on the layout and also mention it in the title. I decided to use STARS and scrapped my little star like this:
