Dear Santa, Part 2

Not too long ago, I shared with you Mia's "Dear Santa" page from our trip to Great Wolf Lodge last year. Today's "Dear Santa" will be the opposing page of Nikolas. Titled the same. Original, isn't it?! What can I say?

The first of half of the month's sketch over at Paper Secrets is the inspiration for this layout. If you used October Afternoon, you're eligible for double the money! So, some October Afternoon it is! My pack of Holiday Style was unopened and just waiting for this very moment. As was that punch from Martha Stewart.

It's quite a coincidence (or co-inky-dink as we say around here) that both pages feature a large banner and a string of somethings. I didn't realize that until just now. I was perturbed by the "white" open space in the top left corner of the page so used some Stickles for a little bling. Not liking that or feeling it sufficient space filler, I opted to put the title there.

Unlike the last page I posted, I journaled where the hidden journal spot was. The front side is a picture of Nikolas' letter (rather, postcard) to "the man in Red" and my journaling is on the back. No, there's no picture of it. I promise it's there! You'll have to take me on my word!

Does anybody else who visits here participate in the Paper Secrets sketch challenges? I never see any familiar faces in the Mr Linky thingy... I challenge you to play along! The sketches are always inspirational to me, they may be to you too.

Thanks for stopping by!

So funny you should ask about Paper Secrets since that is exactly how I found you! Great layout and love how you used something other than red and green for a Christmas layout!
