Counting down the days...the boys have been waiting patiently, or not so patiently at any given hour, for Santa to come. Only one more paper ring to remove from the chain that lets them know when the 24th arrives!
Mod, clean, graphic was the avenue I took on today's holiday card. I used Lifestyle Craft's Nesting Circle Dies to achieve the look of a shiny ornament. I was heavily inspired by this card set here. I changed up the colors and went more geometric. Oh my goodness, I was in heaven when these arrived on my doorstep, there are so many sizes available in the one set, they are thin and lightweight, and cut perfectly. I've been wanting circle dies for forever, as punches were just taking up so much room, and I've got to say, these Lifestyle Craft's ones are the way to go. Plus, the inspiration has been in my files just waiting for nesting circle dies.... Lifestyle Crafts has given me a code to share with you...enter the keyword DRAGONFLY for 20% off! I'm super excited because I just learned that Lifestyle Crafts is coming out with a whole slew of new QuicKutz Dies and GooseBumpz embossing folders!
I'm entering this mod creation in Simon Says Stamps Merry Christmas Challenge! I hope you enjoy your holiday, take some time to spend with family and loved ones just as I have the chance to do.

This is sooooo gorgeous. The layers on your ornament give it such dimension. I just checked out the Lifestyles site. Thanks for sharing the discount code. What a wonderful variety of dies to consider.
This is genius!! I know I haven't been around your blog much this year (I honestly haven't had much time for blogland period this year). I do see your cards pop up on my list and see them quickly, but just don't stop in to comment (sorry). I hope you're well and wish you a very Merry Christmas and happy new year!!

Thanks for sharing your creativity. Your cards are not the "same old, same old" which is what I like. But most of all, I like your commentary for each card. Thanks for being part of this blog hop and give away. Happy new year.
Wow! very cool card. I saw it over at Pinterest but didn't follow it to know that it was from you then. Happy New year to you and your family.
