Day 25: The Reason for the Season



Merry Christmas and welcome to the final day
of the 25 Days of Christmas Crafting Showcase! 

It is our sincere hope that your Christmas celebration is filled with love, joy, family, friends and the peace. May the Light and Love of our Savior's birth fill your hearts with hope and grace. As we celebrate the blessed hope of Yeshua's (Jesus Christ, The Messiah) plan of salvation for all men, may your days be filled with the unmistakable presence of His awesome Love.


Madison used the Cricut Create-A-Critter, Everyday Paper Dolls,
Kate's ABCs and several other cartridges to create this adorable card.
Please visit her blog for more details! 





Christel created this beautiful card using the Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge.

Debbie made these adorable cards for the children in her Sunday School Class using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  Check out the details on her blog.




Evelyn used the Manger Saviour digi stamp from PaperCraftingWorld.com
and converted it (with permission, of course) using SCAL and cut it out to
make this sweet ornament.  Visit her blog for more details.



Jen used the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge to create the manger scene in this adorable board book she created for her daughter.  Visit her blog for more details. 





The following are various projects Melin has created with the theme of our Beloved Savior in mind.
This layout was created with the Cricut and the Inspired Heart Cartridge.

Here is a close up of the title.

This card was made with her 2x2 Quickutz snowflake die and a couple of EK Success punches along with some PCW Word Art.


Okay, this layout TOTALLY doesn't go with the theme...but I know a couple of people who truly must be....All Baked Out!!! Jen our Team Coordinator baked her little heart out for her family as did my sweet daughter. So I just had to include it in here :)
