We've made it easy on you this week, so let's see what you've got! Here's another great example from Design Team member Kathy to help get you started...
Supplies: 12x12 Cardstock White (71081) – AC Cardstock, 12x12 Glitter Cardstock Silver (71416) - AC Cardstock, 12x12 Glitter Cardstock Cricket (71426) – AC Cardstock, Licorice Paper (34905) – Merrymint; Marshmallow Paper (34916) – Merrymint; Merrymint Stickers (42658) – Remarks; Egg Nog (70041) – Flair; Junior, Go! (70044) – Flair; Nutmeg Glossy White (43072) – Thickers
Kathy says: "I love the unexpected addition of brown in the Christmas line rather than the more traditional black, it adds to the cozy feel of the line, and I also can’t get enough of how the glitter cardstock coordinates so well with it, the sparklier the better for the holidays!"
Let's see your projects...
1. The layout must be posted to an online gallery or blog with American Crafts in your supply list.
2. You must leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your layout online. You also must fill in your email address when posting your comment on this blog post.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Here's a card I made with one of the patterned papers from the Merriment Collection:
