Crimbo Crackers Challenge 47 - Nativity

I honestly thought it was Wednesday today and not Thursday so I thought I was ok to leave the writing of the Crimbo Crackers new challenge post until I got home from work.  And then I realised that it is actually Thursday.  And I'm late!

Anyway, better late than never!  The theme of the challenge is:

Nativity

And here is my sample!  I've used another of the topper decoupage sets I bought quite some time ago from La Pashe - so long ago that they don't sell them any more!  They are quite large and almost fill this 13cm square card so I thought I'd keep it nice and simple!

Kraft card blank then some red and black card from my stash.  Some gold rope ribbon that I've had for longer than I care to remember and faux stitching around the edges and its done!

Good luck with the Crimbo Crackers challenge!

The Donkey Who Thinks He is a Camel

Following on from last week's Reception Nativity and Angel Jacob, here is Samuel dressed as a donkey who thinks he is a camel! The Infant classes at school performed Ooops A Daisy Angel (some 60+ kids!) with identical twins playing the leading role! This was not revealed until the very end!

Samuel had to say that he was a camel with two humps on his back so he could be let into the camel park on the way to Bethlehem. Sounds a bit mad explaining it, but it worked - you had to see it to understand it!

Angel Jacob

It was Jacob's Reception class Nativity play this afternoon at school and he was an Angel! And doesn't he look angelic?! He was also a narrator with two parts to speak and he learnt his lines very quickly!

Next Tuesday is Samuel's Christmas play - so check back then for pics of him!!
