     For my idea today, another 2 page layout spread using dark red, dark green and a fun plaid color for the patterned paper.  The only other colors used is gold and cream as accent colors.  I used an alphabet template for the title, Sizzix die cuts for the presents, tags and the frame.  If you notice the frame - look on the bottom left of the right side of the layout - you will see the cream on top with the red on bottom - this is actually the insides of the frame - recycled!  I used gold eyelets for the border around the title, as well as gold around the tags - and on the star buttons as well.  

     Now, next up on this hop is Mindy so go to see what she has for this fun hop.  Make sure you check back each day as this is the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop, so we will have idea's every day!  

     **For my "blog candy"...one lucky winner will receive a 20 page Christmas album that will be showcased during this blog hop starting tomorrow.  If you are unable to add the pictures to the album yourself, I will have you send me the pictures you want, and I will add it for you!  The file will go to you for you to print out on Shutterfly!!!  The retail value is $150 - the file yours to do what you want to with it!  Now make sure you:
