Hanukkah Layouts

Hanukkah has already come and gone this year, which means I'm all done with my shopping and I can enjoy the rest of December.  I have a couple Hanukkah layouts to share today.

The journaling on this first layout reads: Every year we follow the established traditions of Hanukkah, like lighting the menorah, saying the prayers, playing dreidel, and opening presents on each of the eight nights.  But in our family we have a very special Hanukkah tradition.  Every night after we light the menorah, we turn up the volume on our favorite Hanukkah music, then Daddy, the girls and I all dance around the living room together.   I’m not talking about mellow dancing.  I’m talking about anything-goes-build-up-a-sweat-crazy-chicken dancing.   This is definitely one of our favorite family traditions – one that we will hopefully continue for years to come.   It’s usually just our little family of four, but if you happen to be invited to our house for Hanukkah dinner, you’d better bring your dancing shoes!!!

I used Tickle-Me-Turquoise Shimmerz on the alphas and Hi Ho Silver Blingz on the chipboard flourish:

Shimmerz looks beautiful on Technique Tuesday tiles.  I used Tickle-Me-Turquise and Blue By You on the center chipboard piece:

I used Coal Shimmerz on the chipboard letters:
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
