I have been having so much fun with this digital download from Highlight crafts,,, Merriment and Yuletide

 its full of fun scenes and gnome images to create in my craft studio...its been a long time since I used it so it took me a while to get back to creating and making sure that I copied and pasted the characters to cut out on my scan and cut and decoupage...on this one I forgot I could also add text so I ended up with a creative expressions wordies ...traditional christmas sheet
