Happy Everything Christmas Layout

Hello,

I have another layout to share with you today that was submitted at Colorful Creations for their Guest Designer Sketch Challenge (GDTDEC13).  You can see the challenge here.

This is the sketch:

And here's my layout titled, "Happy Everything."

Here's a few photos from Christmas past that I came across in my stash and had to scrap them!

This is our daughter and son having fun opening their presents on Christmas morning.

Supplies used:

Paper: DCWV

Stampin' Up! Border Punch

Decorative Trim

Clear Stickers

Die Cuts

Ribbon

To create the circle with trim... I simply lay down the circle size that I want and adhere the trim around it.  Super easy!  Without doing this... my circles would be a disaster!

The holly leaves were cut from pp and the page title was matted on pp.  A bow was added above the title to help to see it more easily. 

The snowman clear sticker was adhered onto paper and trimmed before adhering to the page.  A clear snowflake sticker was also added beside the snowman.

Here's a closer look at the trim.

And another look at the trim above the photos.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

And here's my Christmas layout:

This is a cute photo of our cat from years ago.  Her name was Fluff and she loved sitting among the presents under the tree.

I followed the sketch... but didn't want to add journaling.

Supplies used:

Paper: DCWV

Flowers

Gems & Swirly Bling: Home Made

Here's a closer look at the "snow globe."  I added a circle of bling around the photo with swirly bling along each side of it.

Love this bling!  :) 

Smaller swirls of bling were added on the right of the photo.  Three small flowers and clear glitter gems finished off the page.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
