I'll be participating all three days with products from Pretty Little Studio.    When my neice was little she used to call Santa Ho Ho! and I guess the name sort of stuck and we still call him that.  This die cut image from Pretty Little Studio can be found in the store as "Santa #11" (I'm still going to call him Ho Ho).    The reason he is number eleven is because Pretty Little Studio just has so many different versions of Ho Ho that  I am guessing Melissa (the owner) ran out of names! There are lots of cute Santa die cuts in the store to chose from for just about any layout or card. You can see them all here! There is even a Santa in a space ship!!!

Pretty Little Studio has lots of pretty embellishments too.  I folded one of their 4" Cambridge Doilies and topped it with a flair from the Christmas Story Set. - Eye candy I tell you!!

The stamped sentiment is from Waltzingmouse's Jolly Old Elf Set.  I stamped it on a flag die cut, punched a bitty hole in it and ran a pin through it.  The pins are really inexpensive - in the sewing department of your local craft store.  

I also added lots of glitter to the snow on the outside of the chimney.  Don't you love that music print vellum too? 

Hey!  Before you go!!! Make sure you leave me a comment.  One person who leaves a comment on any of my Visions of Sugar Plums posts (today Dec 6-8)  will be selected to win a $15 gift certificate for Pretty Little Studio.    You have until December 11 to leave a comment.  I'll post the winner on December 13.

Do you love twine?  Its a beautiful compliment to any project.  I'm going to pick a second winner to receive a sampler of twine from The Twinery.  You can check them out here... the have twine in solids and stripes -  as well as metallic mixed blends.

Here's a complete list of all the designers with projects for you today!   I hope you'll stop by and say hi.  Remember if you are following along on the hop your next stop is the Hostess with the Mostest.. Lori Hairston!!
