I missed last week's Christmas in July challenge from Double Trouble, so I was excited to see they had a new Christmas challenge, this time asking us to include a Santa hat. While I was trying to figure out how to add the hat, I noticed Farm Quest Challenges had a bear challenge and, in one of photos, my son was reading from a Christmas book called Little Cub. What could be more perfect than to add the bear die-cut I found over on Cricut Design Space and give him a Santa hat and a present to hold? Great inspiration from these challenge blogs!

Cheryl, what a great family memory page! So cute how you added the bear as part of your holiday theme that includes Angel's Christmas Story book. Thank you for sharing with us at Double Trouble for our Santa hat theme! -Donna
You always have a nice combination of papers, colors and embellishments that match up with a lot of the colors in your photos. Another beautifu memory sheet you have shared with us at Double Trouble and Jingle Belles.
