It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here in the South!  We have been having hard frosts and I have been enjoying curling up with a good book and a mug yummy goodness...Reindeer Tea! I make dozens of bottles of it every year for my husbands employees and our friends.

Once you start making it on your own it is sure to become the start to a new holiday tradition in your family like it is in mine!

The Stockings Were Hung By The Chimney With Care...

Every year we make a bit deal over the hanging of our Christmas Stockings! Here is the layout that I did that was inspired by the challenge over at Bitten By The Bug! I used Cricut Design Studio and the following Cricut cartridges: Plantin Schoolbook, Christmas Cheer and Cuttin Up. I used papers from K&Company, Bazzill and Prism. The glitter is provided by Doodlebug Sugar Coating. The Rhinestones are by Prima as well as the flowers. The brads are generic (Can't remember who made them or where I purchased them!

It's Christmas Time....yet again!

Ok, so last but not least.....Here is my last "It's Christmas Time" themed layout! I had made one
with the Nativity, one with Snowmen and now I thought how about Santa! This one didn't win a prize either but I really like how it ended up looking! I used Design Studio and the following Cricut Cartridges: Christmas Cheer and George and Basic Shapes. I also use charms, ribbon, Stickles, Cross stitch tread, brads and rubons on this layout. The papers are by My Minds Eye, Bazzill and Prism. I think now that I have 3 layouts with the theme "It's Christmas Time" I am all set for Christmas this year!

He's Making A List And Checking It Twice.........

Here is a new style of layout for me! I really had a blast designing this one. It is created in Design Studio using Plantin Schoolbook, Paper Doll Dress Up, Joys of the Season and Christmas Cheer. I used Basic Grey Fruitcake paper as well as Bazzill cardstock and Prism Cardstock (Frosted Orange) for the skin color. The Fluffy snow and fur are created with Liquid Applique and the Bling is provided by Stickles! I just love how this turned out! Let me know what you think!
