Tracy's Christmas Challenge 2010 #1

I've had my cards done for awhile for Tracy's Christmas Card Challenge - but nothing like saving it to the last minute to get them posted!!

I love this design of these cards.  It adds something unique rather than your traditional card!!

I can definitely see me doing more of the easel cards!

Hubby and I were in Vegas for the past four days.  We decided that we needed a break where he didn't stay in the hotel room all weekend!  We stayed at the Newest Hotel and Casino - Aria - and I can easily say that this is our newest favorite place to stay!  It is beautiful!  The rooms were spectacular and we were in just a standard room!  We do want to stay in a suite next time - but we'll have to see if we get any decent offers to upgrade!  The location is great and with the tram running between Monte Carlo, Aria and Belagio - it makes getting around that much easier as well!  Also - Aria is the first Green Hotel on the strip - everything is used with renewable energy - and they also use alternative sources of energy - which hubby and I loved!   All of their clothing they sell in their store is made from organic cotton and recycled fabrics!

We did a bit a of shopping as well.  We each picked up a brief case style bag that has solar panels on it to charge any electric device you have.  It comes with a bunch of attachments and you can get more to accommodate what you have!  They are very cool!!

Even if you don't stay at Aria next time you're in Vegas - it's definitely worth stopping in to check out!

Any way - I got my cards posted and in time for the challenge deadline!

Only two more days until Oscar Nominations are announced!  I do an Oscar Pool every year and I'm really looking forward to this year - especially with 10 Best Picture Nominations being announced!!
