Karen's Doodles Challenge 40 - Christmas

We have a new hostess this month, Dorte Nielsen, aka Dot-scrap formerly on the Scandinavian team.

Hi Everyone, It´s December and my turn to host this months challenges. We have now been ”on the air” for 4 months with the new team and I hope you all have found a lot of inspiration and have had a lot of fun.  I hope to continue the fun with 4 new challenges.  I have been making cards for about 25 years, first a lot of 3D cards but in 2006 my cousin's wife introduced me to the world of scrapbooking and I was sold right away.  Since that it has become my big passion.  I love making cards, boxes, money boxes/piggy banks… well everything as long as it has something to do with the world of scrapbooking. Six months ago I got my own scrapbooking space/room, and this is just my little peace of heaven.  I am married to Jørgen and we have been married for 14 years (together for 17 years) and we have 2 wonderful daughters Camilla and Malene, they are our pride and joy.  My to girls also likes to make cards, especially Camilla. It makes me so happy that we can share this passion together.  When Im not using my freetime on scrapbooking, I am working as a finacial controller, and I love my work.  Enough about me….now it´s your time to shine. I am so looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

So for her first challenge, Dorte has given us a theme challenge........
