Welcome to Swirlydoos December kit 
reveal and blog hop!!!

Here is our December Collection.  Click the links below for available kits and to join the club!





 My first page was created based upon our monthly kit sketch (shown below).  I had a lot of fun using the zipper around one of my trees.  I kind of think it looks a little like piano keys.  I also used the mold putty and resin that came in this month's Technique Kit to create the star-shaped frame.  What fun that stuff was!!





 I pulled out one of my favorite Christmas pictures from a few years back.  I took my daughter to the mall and had her sit on the Carousel that they have inside.  The carousel was made in the early 1900's and it really is gorgeous.  I made some ribbon curls from paper as well as a ruffled ribbon from paper as well.

 We got some Prima Trinkets in the kit and I decided to use one of the images from our kit paper to embellish the center.  



 Had a bit of fun with this page.  I used the ornament stamps that came in the kit and made my own 3-d ornaments by fussy cutting them out and then adding pop dots behind them.  

Some really lovely rub-ons were in our kit as well and I added one of the corner brackets to my photo.

 This kit had so many pieces that could be fussy cut and used as elements all on their own that it made making these two cards a snap!!


I hope you are enjoying the hop!!  Happy Holidays to you all!!!!  XO, Lisa
