Here is a close up to show the beautiful contrast of the paper used from PaperTemptress.

 

Lastly, I had a sudden inspiration and changed the free cutting file for today.

 

I had the song...Silver Bells...Silver Bells...It's Christmas Time in the City.
So I came up with these pretty silver bell cutting files. Now don't you love it when there is a happy accident...?  When you cut the bell, you get a pretty little corner type flourish!  A TWOFER!!!

Here is a close up of the bell to show I cut it out of Bazzill Bling Paper with my Pazzle Inspiration!!! Cut like a hot knife through butter! Sorry I didn't get a chance to make something with them....yet :)
