The gorgeous December kit! 

This layout is of last years Santa pictures.  My littlest guy at five months slept through the whole thing. 

 I pulled out my Cricut for this layout and using the online software cut random circles in the background pattern paper.  I then layered another piece of pattern paper underneath and filled in some of the circle with embellishments from the kit. 

The glossy accents I dropped around the layout to add little circles of shine.

Items not in kit:  gold embroidery floss.

Second layout I have to share is of our Christmas Eve last year.  i kept this one very linear in design since I wanted to include so many pictures.  I again added some die cutting from my Cricut and then backed it with papers from the kit. 

I added a few items on this layout from my stash:  vellum, small green letter stickers (t,h), and the celebration definition sticker. 

I’ll be back later this month to share the rest of my creations using the December kit.
