So very cute, Beccy! I love him! I've always had a soft spot for Gingerbread Men! I can remember I had a Gingerbread Man book as a child - I recently found the same book at a thrift store for 25 cents and it brought back some happy memories! I also remember my grandmother would hang Gingerbread Man cookies on the Christmas tree! Great childhood memories that warm my heart!

Day 9 - "H"

With holly on the background paper, holly in the image, and more holly as an embellishment, we're looking at a complete, unashamed, paper-crafted holly-fest of epic proportions! And just in case you missed it, my theme for today's letter prompt is holly. 

YOUR TURN: Create a papercraft project using the letter "H" as your prompt.

Some of us in the northern climes can make Frosty the Snowman right now in our backyards. It's very early here for this kind of weather but it looks like Frosty isn't waiting to make his appearance. Love that soft blue background. All those snowflakes look like they are making Frosty's day. Great card!

Day 8 - "G"

There's nothing more festive than the smell of warm gingerbread coming from a homey kitchen at Christmastime, but the little guy I'm using on today's card is much too cute to snack on, so I've put him on a greeting card instead.

YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "G" as your prompt.

Ehm...you're right, I would never have thought of 'emu' for the letter 'E' but I have to admit he looks very handsome in his Christmas attire.
