I signed up for
Teresa's 12 days of comfort & joy and have been so inspired. Sunday was rainy and cold so after church and breakfast out we settled in for a day at home. Rich watched football. Alfredo played quietly. And I made these cute collages featured in 12 days of comfort & joy...
Teresa's version had an adorable photograph of a baby but I thought I'd make an elf out of Alfredo...
These photos aren't so great (it's a very grey morning here...)
When I showed my Peppermint Pete to Alfredo he said "Humpty Dumpty!"
When I was done making those two, I made a quick collage using a really wonderful Santa face from vintage gift wrap. Isn't it wonderful? The gift wrap was just one of the many wonderful papers I received in Cristina's
A Very Vintage Christmas Ephemera Swap (what a great swap!)
Making these collages reminded me a lot of the collages I made in
Lynn Whipple's class at Silver Bella...
My adorable boys!
The photo I used of Alfredo here was just after his first birthday, only a month after we met him. Look how joyful he is! So sweet.
So I lined up all these fun collages on my mantel for a little impromptu gallery...Doesn't it look fun?

I LOVE how you use pictures of YOUR family! Makes everything look so full of love.
Peppermint Pete is my favorite, he does look like Humpty Dumpty's long lost cousin!

I wish I had just 1% of the talent you have - great work!
These are so sweet! Love the ones of Rich and Alfredo! Did you make any of yourself? :-)
Amy, that picture of Alfredo the elf is just so priceless.....It makes me grin ! Thanks!
Love, Lori
Oh what a sweet elf he is! love all these crafts!
How cute, what a great mantel display! Alfredo is darling.
Oh Amy ~ how precious! Looks like you've been having some fun.
I still haven't finished my collages from Lynn's class but tonight is my last Christmas Party so hopefully I'll have some time this weekend.
That's cute! I like the elf and he one with bunny ears he looked adorable in it! Your mini gallery doesn't seem like impromptu at all with all those cute little white trees and nice lights its an art! Enjoy the season!
Thanks for your inspiration. I bought a bunch of little 4-inch canvases yesterday and painted the first one already---had so much fun, thanks to you! Yours are far cuter I have to say, but I loved the process and look forward to making more to create my own little gallery! :)
