Weekend Special & New Scrapbooking with Graphic 45 - 12 Days of Christmas

I finally had some down time to do some scrapbooking of my own.  :)  I pulled out the new 12 Days of Christmas papers from Graphic 45.  ~  Aren't they gorgeous?  For both layouts, I started out with the deep green side of Pear Tree for my base page and cut strips of My True Love for the major accents on both pages.  I also cut strips of Joyeux Noel to add to the accent.

I punched the edge of some cream cardstock paper to underlay the Pear Tree accent paper and backed the photos with this same cardstock.

I cut flower accents from Drummers Dancing and Turtle doves to add layered flower and holly accents around the photos.

Then I started adding the bling...  :)

Oh, my goodness, have you seen this product?  I don't know how new it is, but it is new to me.  I love it!

I took 1 sheet of Gold mylar Shimmer Sheetz and ran it through the Sizzix with Prima's new die Classique.  I then cut it apart and started adding it to the page.  I used a butterfly punch to punch out the scraps and then bent them to stand up on the page.

Next I added the Webster's pages Bloomers and the lace trim, and then began adding the flowers.  The Christmas Greetings title is from Kaisercraft's new line, St. Nicholas.

I backed it with a Spellbinders die cut from a page of the Patterns and Solids paper pad from the 12 Days of Christmas line.

Finally, I added flowers, leaves and bling from my Prima stash.  I love how these pages turned out!  What do you think?  :)
