:FIFTEEN ON THE FIFTEENTH: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

With the extreme abundance of Christmas-themed scrapbooking products out there, I thought I do something a little different with this month's Fifteen on the Fifteenth.

Basically, each item highlights a different thing associated with Christmas!

ELVES
Three Bugs In a Rug - Snow Much Fun Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Santa's Elves
Any kid would tell you that Santa's little helpers are a pretty important part of Christmas. Who else is going to make sure that all those toys get done in time for Santa's worldwide ride?

PRESENTS
Three Bugs In a Rug - North Pole Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Gifts Galore
Speaking of toys, I think a few of these brightly-wrapped boxes might be sporting a toy or two.

POINSETTIAS
BasicGrey - Jovial Collection - Doilies - 12 x 12 Die Cut Paper - Poinsettia Bouquet
This die-cut paper from Basic Grey is as delicate and beautiful as the real holiday plants!

ORNAMENTS
Bo Bunny Press - Noel Collection - Christmas - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Noel Ornaments
A Christmas tree wouldn't be complete without some beautiful ornaments to dress it up. This paper from Bo Bunny features my favorite ornament colors.

SNOW
Echo Park - Wintertime Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Blizzard
As much as I might complain about the white stuff, Christmas just wouldn't be the same without a least a little bit of it.

CHRISTMAS TREES
Echo Park - Everybody Loves Christmas Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Trim the Tree
These retro Christmas trees are colorful and fresh.

GINGERBREAD
EK Success - Paper Shapers - Slim Profile - Large Punch - Gingerbread Man
With this little punch, you can create your own personalized gingerbread man (or woman)!

STOCKINGS (& CANDY CANES)
Inkadinkado - Holiday Collection - Christmas - Wood Mounted Stamps - Candy Cane Stocking
Okay...you've got a two-for-one on this one. Stocking and candy canes are both Christmastime traditions.

NATIVITY
K and Company - Tim Coffey - Adhesive Chipboard with Glitter Accents - Nativity
My mom has been giving me the Willow Tree nativity piece by piece over the past few years and I've been meaning to do a layout about this special and beautiful gift. A few of these chipboard elements would be just the right added touch!

HOLLY
Making Memories - Glitter Bling Collection - Self Adhesive Icon - Holly
Glitter and gems...what more can you ask for in your holly?

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Martha Stewart Crafts - Christmas - Double Edge Punch - Holiday Lights
Create a string in every color your heart desires!

STAR
Maya Road - Trinket Pins Collection - Crystal Star
Here's the perfect topper to your paper Christmas tree.

SANTA
My Mind's Eye - Holly Jolly Collection - Christmas - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Old St. Nick
Of course this list wouldn't be complete without a reference to the big, jolly guy himself!

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS
Teresa Collins - Noel Collection - Christmas - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Countdown
I love papers that have the numbers 1-25. They work wonderfully for creating advent-related projects.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
The Girls Paperie - Tinsel and Twig Collection - Christmas - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Christmas Carol Stripe
Music is a very important part of the holiday season for me. I simply can't put up the Christmas tree without it and love to listen to it all season long.
