INSPIRATION STATION - #80





And so here we are at December 1st and Christmas not far behind us.  I always think once December kicks in the 25th rushes up at us at breakneck speed.  I hope our gorgeous inspirational photo at Inspiration Station can get your creativity flowing and you can find time in this busy period to play along with us.

I loved the stockings against the fireplace and our own are hung up around ours - even though my kids are now 31 and 34 I still hang up their stockings with their names on and my daughter still wants them full every year.  I think I stopped getting them as a child when I was about 16 but I wont' get away with that from my daughter lol!

I created a canvas for my project and it is proudly  hanging up near the fireplace.  I created the background with a brick stencil and some texture paste which I'd mixed with Tim Holtz Walnut stain re-inker.  All my pieces are Tim Holtz Ideaology pieces from 2024.  I do love his little hangers too and always try to buy some if I see them anywhere. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Peaceful Christmas however you may or may not celebrate it and thank you for playing along with us during the past year.  See you next year.

This Mixed Media project is so creative, full of interest and lovely details. I hope you have it displayed along with your holiday decor this year. I thank you for another amazing team project for the Inspiration Station Challenge.
