Colour Us... ONE!

Hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas season with your loved ones! I have taken a much needed break from blogging to spend time with family visiting from out of town.

Neutrals such as black, gray, white, vanilla, skin colours and kraft are also welcome.

This week we are using Your Favourite Colour Combo from Year 1... have fun! Oh and there may be a PRIZE for one lucky winner... :)

Merry Christmas from The Kews :)

Given the recent hike in the price of stamps I have had to cut my handmade Christmas card mail out down a little and in light of that decided to create a fun Digital card for those family and friends we want to still share our Holiday photos with. 

We had our fall outdoor family session and the kids also had an indoor Christmas session done with our amazingly talented sister in law, Melissa Kew :) I could not decide which photos to use so given the challenge at MDS Monday this week is a double take I thought how perfect!!! 

I decided to play along with a few challenges in doing so...

MDS Monday - Sketch

Around the World Stampin' Challenge - Inspiration Photo

Moving Along With The Time - Winter Wheather Theme

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Simon Says - Christmas Theme

Stampin' Royalty - Use Your Favourite Stamp Set (Festive Flurry!!!)
