Lots of cutting on this one... Love to cut! I think it's from all the paper dolls I used to have when I was little....
The wallpaper is dp from K&company. The fireplace was raised with two layers of tape, the mantle was cut and raised on top of that and the stockings were cut and raised again. The back of the fireplace is black glitter paper. Liquid applique on Santa's pants and the stockings. Santa has crystal lacquer on his boots. He is glued to the back of the fireplace so he dangles. DD on the mantle, fire, stockings and presents which were cut and raised. It's hard to tell in the pix, but the small panel layer of red is glitter paper. The white was run through the cuttlebug.
TFL!!

Wow! It must have taken you ages to make this with all that cutting ... but it was definately worth it! I love your 'dangling' Santa and your popped out stockings.
