I made this 'Season's Greetings' layout to share with you today.

I used Bo Bunny papers and my luv...my Cricut.

Cricut Christmas Solutions

Scored with paper trimmer, then fan folded to make 'rosette' behind the Noel.

I curled the 'gift tags' with my thumb and finger and added a tad bit of adhesive on the right curve to attach to paper.

I stamped a circle of circles around '25' then added bling, one at a time on the stamped image.

The acrylic embellishment is old-school Fancy Pants.  I dabbed the back of it with coordinating colors of alcohol inks.  Just happened to have the perfect colors for these papers.  Love when that happens!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little token of my appreciation I made for my cousin's who invited my mom and I for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. 

I totally lifted it from Scrappin with my Bug.

Of course I'm filling it with some sweet goodness.

I have so much to be thankful for.  More than I deserve.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
