Santa's Bell hoop layout

I had a lot of fun with this project.  First of all I was inspired by this inspiration at Stampin Royalty:



I took the challenge literally and upcycled an old embroidery hoop I had laying around - making this good for the Simon Says Challenge.  I LOVE the new Teresa Collins Christmas paper and couldn't wait to dig into it when it arrived.  When the kids were about 5 and 2 we found one of Santa's bells in our driveaway so it is one of my most special Christmas decorations to put out.  I have a small photo of it on this circular layout.  All the paper is from Teresa Collins Christmas Home.   I used my Cricut to cut the circle of paper (Plantin Schoolbook) and the Santa Hat and Holly Border (Joys of the Season).  This is thus also for the Cricut Circle challenge - borders.  Finally it is for the Papercraft Star challenge - number.  I also love this Red Colored Wired String it is just so fun!  It is one of the new items available to you at Ribbon Carousel and don't forget that this weekend there is a sale.  Coupon Code: Veteran10 for 10% off your order.




A couple of close ups.  The letter stickers are from Glitz and the coarse glitter is Martha Stewart.

Love the glitter paper included with this collection.  I have used some PTI felt on the hat as well.

ETA:  I see that this project is in the 2Peas Top 3 by Views and Most Bookmarked!  That makes my day!
