Nutcracker Dreams

Here are my November Gecko Galz design team projects.  These nutcrackers are so gorgeous and for the first two cards I used Mintay's round card base and the house card base. 

 
 


Of course, traditional bases were used too for more fun, festive cards.



Then I did two layouts that are headed for calendars!!!
