Some extras using the gorgeous kit by Karra's Kreative Korner called Holly Jolly Xmas! You can grab the wordart I made from The Wordart Warehouse HERE! And the beautiful tube by Freya Langford-Sidebottom HERE!

Made one for a challenge and they were so much fun, I made 3 more! Here are 3 of them, the 4th will be available next week on the Pimpin PSPers blog (and others made by the kick-ass Advanced ladies!)

Hope you can use them! Just right-click and save!
