HOLLY THE ELF

This is my latest creation for RCS.  Our inspiration for this final challenge of 2014 was the movie "Elf."  Several lines from the Elf movie have become part of my family's every day language such as, "Look at these toilets, they're ginormous,"  or "Us elves eat from the four main food groups; candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup," and what we like to say to our dog in our best Mr. Narwhal voice, "By buddy, I hope you find your dad."  Needless to say, the possibilities for this project were endless...however I decided to go literal and create a layout featuring our Elf on the Shelf, "Holly Jolly."  We've caught her online shopping, she's taken the Barbie VW bug for spin, and once we caught her canoodling with the Jacob Black Barbie.  However, for this challenge, she is cuddled up to the structurally sound gingerbread house made out of bathtub caulking and not icing.  And sitting on the air mattress my youngest daughter got for Christmas.  To all of you reading my blog, I wish you the best holiday season, and make sure to check back with RCS at the start of the year for some exciting changes and challenges!
