Allow me to share with you, JOYEUX NOEL:

And the amazing add ons:

Well, Krissy always designs the most fabulous Christmas kits,  and Joyeux Noel is NO EXCEPTION! I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I love the classic colors, especially the GOLD! Here are a few projects that I did:

Joy Layout (Based on the sketch)

This is our lovely sketch this month:



And, here's my take on it:



I cut the tree from the Core'dinations cardstock with my Cameo, and sanded it for the distressed look. I used a mask and the gold Croco paint form the mediums kit to get the "snow" effect. I got the image off of Google images when I was looking for vintage Christmas post cards. There was no one to credit the picture to. :(

Believe Layout

It's my turn to do the Swirlydoos "Anatomy of a Layout" feature, where a designer creates a layout using only the main kit, and this is it. I took this picture of my littlest man two years ago. For step by step details, check out the Anatomy thread of the Swirlydoos forums.

And, I have a video tutorial that features some tips on how to use the gift box punch board and how I made the stacking boxes:
