Hey All My Crafty Friends

Gosh it seems like so long since I have posted a new project been so super busy with the holidays and the kids being out of school for the last 2 weeks, that there just hasn't been much time for crafting....

But I am finally back in the swing of things and have dusted off the Cricut and pulled the paper and adhesive back out and I'm ready to start creating once again..

I have so many new and exciting things to tell you about but will keep that for later on in the week... But it is really exciting and I am busting at the seams to tell you ...So come back to find out what the big SECRET is...



So on to this weeks Paper Playtime Challenge FACES...our sponsor this week is PEACHY KEEN STAMPS..

SANTA & ME - JOLLY HOLIDAYS

Hey All My Craft Friends

Well I finally have the tree up at my house and the lights for the house will be going up later today. Did you hear the big WHO HOO !! I just shouted.... ;0)

 I so love the holidays and the magic of the season. Preparing for Santa's arrival and celebrating Jesus' Birthday all in the same month can for us all be overwhelming, but for me the magic of Christmas and the memories I hold of my childrens faces on Christmas morning will live in my heart forever....

We are planning our trip to see Santa next week with Matthew and I have already done the layout !!! Okay not like me to be so prepared and ahead of the game, but this layout came together so easily.  As I told you in an earlier post I am in love with the new Jolly Holidays Cartridge.... SUPER STINKIN CUTE !!!

Everyone should have this one in there cartridge library...

So on to the layout:

Special thanks to my Scrappin Bestie Kendra aka Scrappin Cricut for inspiring this layout !!
