I know, I know, I know... My head is hanging in shame. I did promise to try and post more frequently and I let you down. Mea culpa. Honestly, I haven't scrapped much outside of design team assignments. BUT, I went to a weekend retreat and got some fun, for me layouts finished!
It's not often that I feel the NEED to have cut files outside of my subscription at the Silhouette store. I mean, 50-99 cents vs $2? Need I say more? Well, I found a few files that screamed NEED. You see them above; the font and the wreath. Aren't they awesome? Do you seen the NEED?
I didn't have my Silhouette with me at the crop so I had to pre-cut the files before heading out the door. Those of you who know me know I don't kit things up before I scrap. I fly by the seat of my pants. It gets a tad precious at times but, it always works out in the end! I had to fussy cut the "backings" of the letters but no worries, fussy cutting and I get along just fine!
I just LOVE those Stampednous blingy thingy's! They made the perfect berries, the perfect pop of red for contrast. My friend Kelly saved the day with the red American Crafts bow! Around the wreath, additional green tones of foliage are from various WPlus9 stamps - adding depth to the wreath.
Another HAD to have were some of Kerri Bradford's stamps. I repeated "joy peace love" along the edge of the patterned paper creating a border. And, of course, some Simple Stories! Can't not have a splash of that!
I played along with the linky party over at Paper Issues, Let Me Espresso My Gratitude. This layout is all about my gratitude to Panera for getting the need for holiday Espresso cups. I'm not one to chime in on these things but, yeah, I need some festivity. Glad I found it!
I did manage to get a fair number of challenges in with some other design team bits and pieces to share! Be sure to check back in later this week! I even have Simple Stories planner pages to share with you!
