Sparkle & Shine Christmas layouts

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Wow 2014 has quite a ring to it.  Did you take lots of pictures around your holiday celebrations?  I know I did, so I need some quick pages to get them scrapbooked right away. 

Thank you to the fabulous Dawn Montagano for the directions to the first layout which she generously shared.

There is no stamping on this layout at all.  The shapes are all cut with the exclusive CTMH cricut cartridges.  Paper and embellishments are from Sparkle & Shine.    Add some sparkle and you're done.

The second layout I created following Cherish, a great how to book (page 83).  Again I used the beautiful Sparkle & Shine dimensional elements and some sparkles for Christmas bling.  No stamping.

If you notice on both layouts there is a small 1/2" border piece.  This is the zip strip from the paper package.  It is a great little embellishment to add more pop to your layouts.

Now that you have some inspiration - get working on your Christmas layouts!!!

Enjoy,

Jennifer
