Hey Newbies,
I'm here working on number 19 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019 (and the lessons I learned). I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.
Today I'm working on a Christmas layout. This one was pretty simple and quick to layout! I was so excited about getting this MERRY CHRISTMAS HOUSE stencil at Joann's for 90%OFF! It actually wasn't a stencil, it was backed to a 10x10 board. I took it off the board and used it as a stencil and it worked PERFECTLY! Here is a video of my haul from Joann's.
I started out with a red 12 x 12 card stock and then added a white card stock on top. I cut an inch off each side so that the red cold show. I then took the stencil and a Sharpie permanent marker in GOLD METALLIC, followed all of the lines of the house and then colored in the MERRY CHRISTMAS. It looked fabulous...if I do say so myself😋
I then sprits the snow flakes in Perfect Pearls Mist from Ranger in PERFECT COPPER to pull some of the gold out in the house and glued them down. After that I backed the photo with some paper from my stash that had some gold(ish) color in it and then with some of the red stock paper I used earlier and adhered it down.
I had the JOY and the Christmas tree from a real old stash of mine, which worked great because the tree had the gold in it and the JOY had the red.
The Santa sticker I made using my X-yron sticker maker and the Santa I fussy cut from a Christmas note pad I had laying around my house. (Hey I always say, use what you can, and if it's free it's for me)!
I added some Christmas brads (one was a sticky brad but the other 2 were not, and I'm not a huge fan of the "not sticky" brads so I take off the metal parts some times - this being one of those times- and use a foam dot to adhere them). I had some smaller red colored brads that I put down the side just to add color, used a border from one of my Christmas HOT BUY pads and Boom! Done! Super simple, super quick and super cute!
So LESSON 1 for this layout would be...use what you have that may not be meant for scrapbooking (think, the stencil house I pulled off the board, the Santa sticker I made from a note pad...what ever you think will work, try it, use it...just because it doesn't say "scrapbooking embellishment" doesn't mean you can't use it.😬
Well, there you have it...number 19 of my 365 layout challenge for 2019.
