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.
Gold Gift Box
This box is the inspiration for the Twelve Days of Christmas Contest for today (the 5th). I used the punch board from the project kit to create the box.
12 Days of Christmas Gift Box Decor
So this is my project that I made showcasing the project kit add on:
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:
