Scrapbooking From Scratch December Challenges

I Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, the best present I received was my little brother coming up for Christmas day & Boxing Day. I haven't had a Christmas with him for over 11 years.

Because the boys are older, and are too interested in playing on  their computer games, I have had time to scrap these past few days.

I came across Scrapbooking from Scratch thanks to a fellow DT member who designs for them too, so I thought I would have a go at the 4 challenges they had set for December.

The First Challenge -

ONE photo - Mia

TWO word title - Heaven Sent 

THREE embellishments - Scrapmatts angel wing, Zva flourish, Charms Creations Heavenly Heart 

FOUR papers - Kaisercraft papers
