Here's what I created, 

"Believe" 

Oh isn't he just adorable?!!

Love this lil guy (& the cute story behind this darling photograph!)

The short version is that Mister A for Awesome discovered a love of peppermint candy canes last year - only he called them Santa's Walking Sticks! Lol, so cute!

I have used the fun and festive FaLaLa collection from Crate Paper for my 8.5 x 11" layout today. 

I drew on the reds in this line because of the candy canes, but also as it's his favourite colour. 

How gorgeous are the Die Cut snowflakes?!

I layered my die cut snowflake with a Chipboard Sticker snowflake - love how effective this looks!

& then repeated this look for my candy canes.....

Just gorgeous!

How awesome is that Tinsel Tassel embellishment?!!

Loving those snowflakes!

And there you have it!
