{Christmas wishes...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!

Welcome to the blog today.

I am sharing my first layout using the Christmas Spectacular 12x12 Collection. This collection is bright and cheerful and has so many fun elements.

This is a picture of James, my grandson, taken last Christmas.

Look at his face!

For this layout, I used the Hidden Holly paper.

Here is my layout.

I created a look-a-like hymnbook by layering the photo on the sheet music cardstock from the Ultimate Page Kit of Christmas Spectacular. I then layered this on V/A Naturalist and Curators Essential Bookplates and notebook edges from the Curators Essential Laser Cut Elements. I also added Ephemera Bits from the ARToptions Holiday Wishes and Christmas Spectacular. On the bookplates, I glued tabs from the Ephemera Bits.

Here you can see how I used the beautiful holly and mistletoe rub-ons under the layers. These are included in the 12x12 Color Wash Rub-on Transfer Set.

To create the cluster, I used elements from the Greenery and General Laser Cuts. Chipboard bits and words are included in this collection, and I glued a chipboard label, tab, circle shape, stars, and chipboard words to my layout. These cute Christmas lights are from the 6x8 Classis Rub-on Transfer Set.

This collection also includes a beautiful 12x12 inch Sentiments rub-on transfer sheet, and

I used one of the sentiments for the title of my layout.

I used another sentiment here. I made this cluster using banners and word strips from the Ephemera Bits, elements from the Chipboard Set, and Chipboard Words.
