Now for the project I created for today, I have a layout featuring some beautiful stamps and coordinating dies from Heartfelt Creations, the stamps are HCPC 3316 Poinsettia Petals, HCPC 3340 Holly Leaves, HCPC 2291 Ragal Poinsettia 2, and the dies are HCD 704 Perfect Petals, HCD 705 Holly/Snowflake.  I went through my stash of paper and found this beautiful piece from Basic Grey, the frames I cut with the Cricut Machine, for the gold swirls I used a Tim Holtz Alterations die.  The photo is our family portrait from Christmas 2007.

What's next?
