Santa Layout

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a Christmas layout of my two oldest children when they were sitting on Santa's lap.

I am not going to lie, this layout took me a few hours, but it was created with love and I am happy with the result. 

I first began with a beautiful Silhouette cut file (Design #228022) designed by Paige Evans and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo with a sheet of Silhouette white adhesive card stock. I backed it with some red and green patterned papers from Bella Blvd. and embellished it with some black sequins, red and green enamel dots, Bella Blvd. die cuts, a bow and fun flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons. They are all from the Christmas Fun 2 Flair Set. I clustered, layered and arranged the flair buttons, stickers and die cuts in a triangle around the photo to direct the eyes around the photo.

I also added some black sequins from Fancy Pants Designs that I had in my stash as well as some red and green enamel dots from Bella Blvd.

I completed the layout with some machine stitching along the outside edge in red thread. 

Thanks for visiting today. Have a wonderful day!

Donut Worry Be Happy

Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing this layout of my son and a whole lot of donuts over at A Flair For Buttons.

I really love how flair is a great little addition to the circle element of this layout. I used a flair button from the Inspirational Words 5 flair set and the heart flair button from the Woodgrain 3 flair set.

The donut die cuts were a free cut file that Kim Watson designed for the Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine Spring 2017 issue on Page 24. When I saw the cut file I was excited to cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo.  

I used lots of scraps of various collections of Bella Blvd. papers and paper and stickers from the new Doodlebug Designs Cream And Sugar Collection.  

The title was actually a die cut sticker that I popped up with some dimensional adhesive squares.

Handwritten journaling was added with a fine black felt pen to give it more of a personal feel to the page.

Paint splatters from the Navy Colorshine Mist by Heidi Swapp were added to complete the page.

Below are the flair sets I used for my layout:
