Monday...Monday

So who is ready for some Christmas???

WELL...Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if you didn't have your letter ready for Santa ;) I have jumped on the envelope bandwagon, finally, lol and when I saw these at CutCardstock I had to grab them and this is my version. There are so many cool things to do with them... I instantly thought of writing a fun, quirky letter of my own to Santa. Of course, I had to embellish it with some Shimmerz and I used some of my favorite 7 gypsies rubons on the flap. OH and the FAB Jenni Bowlin line from Core'dinations cardstock. I just LOVE this color pallette...it is very similar to the colors in our dining room.



Here is a close-up of the tree..

And i inserted my letter to Santa here....even though the letter starts out silly...it really is just thanking him for making all my dreams come true and my wonderful happy and healthy family. i also asked him to bless another family that may be needed some good cheer this year.




AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got another fun creation from this Pink Paislee paper...I love love love challenging myself to see how much I can get out of one piece of patterned paper.

I got some Martha Stewart Twine from my awesome Secret Santa so I altered the container...


Again...more Core'dinatins Black Magic Cardstock here...sanded after it went through my Cuttlebug...those two are bff's i swear!
