An unstampabelle Christmas ...

Joining in with the challenge on Unstampabelles this month where they are asking us to portray a ...

Christmas theme for your Country
Twist - explain the theme in your blog

I am not sure we in Australia have a particular theme - it is more about what we don't do than anything else. As it is summer here at Christmas time most of the country is hot, hot, hot so we don't relate at all to snowy scenes, snowmen, snowflakes or anything else wintery. Hot chocolate is replaced with cold drinks and pine forests glittering with snow with beach scenes of kids in swimming gear. I guess we also tend to use brighter, happier Christmas colours for our cards and layouts - it is just a shame so many of the Christmas themed products are all geared to the northern hemisphere winter.


I have used bright and happy papers to show my children opening their stockings Christmas morning.

thanks for looking,
Jane xx
