For this blog hop we were tasked with doing a birthday themed project with a holiday theme. Well my birthday just happens to fall around Christmas time. Over the last few years my husband and I have always done something really special for my birthday. We have gone downtown (Chicago), stayed in a hotel, went to see a play and just had a great time alone without the kids! LOL. It has been super fun. A few years ago we did that very thing and I wanted to scrapbook the photos from it. Here is my Christmas themed scrapbook layout.
Supplies Used:
Paper: Stampin UP! Cherry Cobbler, Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla
Stamps: Stampin UP! Delightful Decorations
Cricut Christmas Cartridge and Make the Cut for my title and the banner which is and svg from Lettering Delights
I also used my i-rock to add bling to my tree and the ornaments
For this blog hop I am offering some fun blog candy, the Cricut Sampler Cartridge for your cricut!
