This layout went through several iterations before I finally decided on a design, but I thought it would be fun to use the Santa and reindeer stamp along with the houses die-cut, and the rest just evolved as I worked on it! I added some gold Stickles to the lights, houses, and trees to go with the starry night paper and the lights theme, and I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.

Cheryl, I must say, your layout is absolutely stunning! The dark sky in the background adds a captivating touch to the overall aesthetic. Looking at your pictures brings back fond memories of the Osborne Family Lights that used to grace Hollywood Studios in FL. Wishing you a peaceful & relaxing weekend. Cheers, Makira
