Hanging onto Christmas ❤

I'm hanging on tightly to Christmas, it went by so fast this year. I was so ready for it to happen. I wanted to soak up every moment of being home and being present with my family and friends.

Except for that, I barely saw my family and friends. Patrick and Mackenzie have basketball, and basketball is all encompassing. I am so happy for them, they are having a great year and playing so well, but it's a 6/7 day kind of activity.

The time I had with them was so very fun, but so very fleeting. I am still pouring over pictures and smiling. Heck, I'm still listening to Christmas music. 

I scrapped about our cousin cookie baking day...which is now a new found tradition for some of the Matesowicz girls. Auntie helped us and we had a ton of laughs and the day was filled with magic only the holidays can bring. 

I used Christmas Cookies Cutting Files for this layout:

Have a happy Thursday and stay tuned for lots of PPPR goodness, as in an awesome Guest Designer post, a freebie...a BLOG HOP weekend with more freebies and great inspiration.

Happy Wednesday Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons fans!  It's Michelle from Purple Monkey Moments, and I am here to share a project that I created with some amazing PPPR files. 

Last month during our Holidays Blog Hop, my fellow DT Member Nicole created some really cute tags using the Christmas Cookies Cutting Files.  I loved them SO much, that I decided to create my own!

The cookies make the cutest tags!  They already have a built in shadow, which is SO convenient.

You can find the Christmas Cookies Cutting File HERE.  I have made 3 other tags with this set as well, that I have shared over the last week on my blog, during my "12 Tags of Christmas" series:

You can see all of the cute SVG files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons in the SHOP and be sure to check out all the details of my card over on my blog.

A la prochaine,

I'm taking a break from smiling food. 

I know...I know..don't freak out!

Christmas stuff...this is all because I know the snow is coming and it makes me so happy. 

I made this tag to share with you using the Christmas Cookies Cutting Files, I merged the mitten and made it into a great tag for a special gift.

It opens up with plenty of room to write a message and attach to a gift:

Thank you for entertaining my Christmas crazy!

I'm that person. 

The person who gets excited for Christmas at the beginning of Fall...but this year, the mania starts early, because I am a Michigander again.

That's right, a Mitten Girl and my heart swells with happiness to know that I am going to see snow and have winter and Christmas magic that only cold weather can bring. 

I've started making Christmas cards and I am very much inspired! Luckily...Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons has a ton of really adorable Christmas and holiday inspired files!

I used the stocking from the Christmas Cookies Cutting Files set to create this card:

Here's a close up of the stocking and some of the details:

Thank you for letting me share with you! 

Make sure you're hopping back here this weekend for a very fun blog hop coming up!
