So many ideas, so little time!! all that sparkles 

at Christmas.... stars, ornaments, wrapped gifts, and snowflakes!

I cut the snowflakes from peacock cardstock using the CTMH Cricut Cartridge "Flower Market" and backed it with  white glitter paper.  I also cut the word "Holidays" using the CTMH Cricut Cartridge "Artbooking".  The stamped image is from "Merriest Wishes Workshop Your Way" using the "Happiest Holidays" sentiment and masking the word holidays.  The card base is Peacock cardstock. 

The glitter doesn't show well in a photo unless it's at an angle.  - lots of sparkle

Now, hop on over to Belinda McLane's Blog to see what kind of fabulous art she's created.   Be sure to drop a comment, we enjoy the encouragement.  I hope you enjoy the Hop!

I got my idea from CTMH - and used the photo on the top of this blog just prior to all the images.  Inspiration found HERE.

This cricuit set is perfect for all my travels and the places I've lived!  I know for sure I will be using it for a bunch of layouts, but no time now for not much more than an album cover.

I love to travel and have been to South Africa and China.  In September I'm heading to Italy and Greece.  I've been in all the states except Vermont and several of the Canadian provinces.  

For Christmas my love and I are heading to New Jersey where we lived from 1982 - 1995 to visit our daughter. It's been three years seen we've seen each other -- way to long!!  Our kids spent their teen years there, three married and left the nest, leaving their younger brother to travel with Mom and Dad when we moved to Washington.  Naturally, there are lots of memories and we look forward to reliving some and making new.  A trip into NYC to see the lights and a Broadway play is a MUST do!  My daughter lives in Patterson less than an hour from NYC. Through the 50 years we've been married, we lived in 6 states, MI, NY, MT, AK, NJ and WA.  

Now "Hop" on over to Miss. Carrie's Creation's Blog

I used the Basic Fundamental paper, and the Everyday Life Album - Stripes, and the Poppy and Peacock paper from the Enchantment paper pallete, which comes with the You Are Here Cricut Collection.
