More Woodland Christmas and a Winner

First, I want to thank everyone who left such lovely comments.  They were much appreciated!  Using my random number picker (a/k/a asking the Hubster to pick a number between 1 and 21), the winner of the free Pretty Little Studio flair is Jenny Kozar!  Jenny, if you will send me an email (send to krissy.clark@comcast.net) with you address, I will get your flair sent to you post haste!

Now, on to a little layout I recently finished using one of my new favorite Christmas lines - that's right, it is Pretty Little Studio's WOODLAND CHRISTMAS COLLECTION.  

Let me tell you, the second I saw the Fir Tree paper which is covered in the stars you see on my layout, I knew I would be fussy cutting and using them on a project.  Then, when the Huntress decided she wanted to go out and gaze at the stars a day or two later, I knew my layout was meant to be! *smile*

My heart-rate also increased a little when I saw all the yummy vellum that is included in this holiday collection.  Seriously, big festive stars and vellum - my perfect scrapbook supplies cup runneth over!  Just look how cute these are together:

I outlined my stars so they don't blend in too much with my white background, and I tilted up the corners to give them a more three-dimensional appearance.  

I added a couple of clusters around my photo along with a little journaling to complete my layout...

and, voila!  I was done.  What Christmas collections are your favorites this year?  Have you used your holiday papers for non-Christmas layouts (such as I have done here)?

I have been a very good (scrapbooking) girl this year.  I really, really, really, really wanted the new WOODLAND CHRISTMAS COLLECTION and I have been working so hard to use up every single scrap piece of paper (and packaging) that I own before I dug into it, but now it's officially December and the Christmas season so what's a girl to do???  Well, this girl broke the taped seal on her box of Woodland Christmas goodies and let the crafting begin!

You may recall that I started my DECEMBER ALBUM back in July.  Sadly, after a few pages it sat forlornly, gathering dust, on a shelf in my scrap closet.  But now the Christmas season is here and I am moving forward - full of Christmas cheer (and maybe a little egg nog and a cookie or two).  Here are a few more pages I have completed using my new Pretty Little Studio goodies:

It's no secret, I love creating pockets that will let me place tags full of journaling and photos into them.  Let's zoom in just a little closer (and check out my super lovely hand painted stars that Little Lula helped me to make):

I think these larger journaling cards are j-u-s-t the right size for a quick letter to Santa:

Next...did you notice the vellum on the right side?  Yes, that's right, Pretty Little Studio now carries VELLUM papers!  Excuse me while I get up and do a little happy dance real quick...

What - could that be three more pockets I see on this page?

Actually, it's four pockets!  I think I've got this Daily December thing down, now. *smile*

Now, what's a hop without a give-away, right?  To help get you even MORE into the spirit of Christmas, THERE IS A GIVE-AWAY FOR EACH STOP ON THE HOP!  How cool is that?!?!  I L-O-V-E Pretty Little Studio's Flair and thought it would be perfect to give away a pack of FESTIVE FLAIR from the Woodland Christmas Collection.  How do you win it?  It's easy, you leave a comment at each stop in the hop AND on the Pretty Little Studio BLOG.  Winners will be chosen randomly after the hop ends this Friday.

Whew!  I am done!  Next up is JESSY'S BLOG.  Happy hopping!
