Christmas Layouts using older CTMH Paper

I love the "Beary Christmas " paper but I did not order enough to do the workshop. Instead I used the cutting directions with older paper I had in my stash, What I love about Close To My Heart is that their paper coordinates with many of the older and newer pallets !
