Has it really been a month?

I can't believe that a month has already passed since my last thread. The holidays have been just as crazy as they always are. Maybe more, since this year Grace is so much more mobile and independent.

Even though my sweet husband keeps stealing my computer time and my daughter keeps me busy with her holiday art projects, I was able to find find some time to play with Julie Marie's new Christmas kit, Deck the Halls.

This first layout will be a hybrid - I want to add some embellishments and stamping to it. I won't be able to finish it until next month, but I wanted to get it up for now.
I also made a simple Christmas Card for my mom.Credits: Everything is from Julie Marie Designs "Deck the Halls" except for the date strip on the bottom left hand corner of the layout titled "Christmas Eve." That is Valarie Ostrom, "Dated."
