It's beginning to look alot like....

Christmas???

Wait! It's not even Halloween yet!! :) Well it's never to early to do some Christmas crafting! I have some Lily Bee and Elle's Studio blog hop items to share with you today!

Did you know Lily Bee and Elle's Studio have been teaming up this week with an amazing blog-hop loaded with inspiration and prizes?? It's not too late to join in the fun, just head over to their blogs to see what it's all about!

Here is a Christmas layout I did for today's Lily Bee post:

This layout was based upon the following sketch.

I don't do a TON of Christmas layouts-- but i LOVE it when i do. This layout is about a fun girls craft night i did with some dear friends last year. Just looking at it makes me super excited for the approaching Christmas Season.

I used Lily Bee's Jingle Line and items from Elle's new Christmas release-- they are perfect together (I liked all items at bottom of this post). For my "splatters" i used some of Studio Calico's Mr. Huey's in Clay, Shine, and Warm Calico. Perfect combo.

I created this card using Lily Bee's Jingle 6x6 pad and Elle's Studio's Large Circle Journaling Tag-- quick and easy to put together!

In other related Christmas News... did you see Elle's little sneak peek on her blog yesterday??? We have been busy planning our next Project Kit!!! Here is the image and info from the Elle's Studio blog:

We have some very exciting news for you all today: We will have two new, limited edition, project kits coming very soon, one for Winter and one for Christmas, available in November!

Each kit will include 12 x 12 papers from awesome manufacturers, along with the exclusive Elle's Studio tags (and yes, the Christmas kit will even include exclusive and never released before numbers that can be seen in the small sneak peek above!) and for the first time ever, even an exclusive stamp! The kits will be perfect for making layouts for the upcoming holiday seasons, and they would also make a great supplement for your December Daily!

Both kits will each be under $30 and we've put in extra effort to insure there is something in each kit for everyone! Also, these kits will be a be able to ship overseas at a much more affordable rate, and there will be a special deal for those who want to purchase both!

We will be posting pre-sale and sale date details here on the blog and through our newsletter on November 4th, so mark your calendars and get ready to grab one, or both, of these limited edition kits. Once they are sold out we will not be restocking or selling the Elle's Studio tags again. We may also have some more sneak peeks on their way :)

*Some of you have mentioned that you do not receive the newsletter even though you are on the list. We have isolated the problem - icontact does not allow emails to people with role emails (emails that start with info, mail, admin, etc) we are in the process of switching to a new provider that does and are so sorry for this inconvenience! If you believe this is you, please email us directly and I'll be sure to email you personally with pre-sale details when they are available ;)

Needless to say i am very, very excited for these two kits. i adore the papers, embellishments, and exclusive Elle's Studio tags we have put together. STAY TUNED! :)
