Memories of Father Christmas
As a child many, many years ago I can still remember being so excited for Father Christmas coming on Christmas Eve and getting into bed wanting to stay awake to see him. Whilst I lay there waiting I was sure I could hear sleigh bells in the distance. Of course I did fall asleep and I would awake to my pillowcase that I had left out on the end of my bed, being filled with presents and always a satsuma, some crayons or paints and a bar of chocolate.
I love this old photo of Santa, a name change? I've used it with Tim Holtz goodies in a collaged panel.
It was a lovely surprise for me this morning to see that Tim Holtz had added it to his Instagram story today. How exciting is that?
I used several papers from an old 12 x 12 pad from Tim and parchworked them together and stitched around the edge. The frame was discarded from a photo frame so I just painted it with glue and sprinkled distress rock candy glitter all over it ad blended some walnut stain around the edges.
The rest were bits and pieces from one of Tim's ephemera packs, snippets from tubs and bags in one of my Christmas boxes.
