It’s November and the panic is starting to set in….Christmas will be here before I know it!  There is so much to do!  I make calendars every year for Christmas gifts and with one of our family gatherings right after Thanksgiving my time will run short.  So with the holidays just around the corner I thought I’d share this holiday layout.  This was the year that my girls wanted the Christmas picture to include their American Girl Dolls.  They were all matching, of course!

Welcome to another Close to My Heart Blog Hop.  The blog hop is a loop so if you are starting here you can just continue through until you are back here again.  This month we are featuring the November Stamp of the Month: Around the Block.  It is a set of 26 stamps that work great for home and family pages.

Here’s what I came up with:

Now I know there are some of you who are going to love this stamp set but it just wasn’t for me.  I took a different approach and used the cloud and swirl stamps as the background for this card and used the shutters to make my own window instead of using the house.  The card layout is from Wishes.  The frame was cut with my Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge.  The owl in the window is from the Dream Big stamp set.

You will also notice from this picture that although my card is standard size, it opens to the side instead of flipping up.  Ink colors used are: Twilight, Sorbet, and Olive.  Ribbon is from Sorbet Collection and Designer Twilight.
