Christmas Morning Layout

 This layout is created for Die Cuttin Divas: Challenge #179: Pinterest Inspired or Inspired by another Crafter.  I LOVE PINTEREST!  So I saw this challenge and said I have to do it.  So what's Pinterest about this?  I pin millions of sketches that I find on Pinterest.  Here's my pin/sketch that I followed:

I had the flourish on the right but I felt it was making the layout off-balanced so I moved it to the left.  Also, I was going to add in a color combination that I would of followed (another thing I love pinning) but I decided to see where this sketch took me.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Santa's Workshop

I've made this layout for this past Christmas pictures.  My daughter and our neighbor's son go to the same baby-sitter and naturally, always play together.  Occasionally, we'll have dinner together and sometimes a few drinks too. =)  I really love my neighbors because me and the mom get along great!  Especially when it comes to taking pictures of our kids....hence, these pictures.

I know I designed this layout with the help of a sketch from online.  I thought I had pinned it to my Pinterest, but I didn't. =S I have been searching for the sketch but it just doesn't want to be found.  Sorry guys.

Here's the goodie details of the layout

Recipe for page, above:
Paper: I found all of the designer cardstock at Ben Franklin's 50% red tag sale!  Whoo hoo!  But here's the finer detail:

• Pebbles - Welcome Christmas: Candy Cane, Santa's List, and Trim the Tree

Christmas Trees: Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge

• Tree Sizes: 8 3/4", 5 3/4", and 4 1/2"
• Paper that I used for the trees:  all came from my "scrap" box.  Off the top of my head, the darkest green: Bazzill Green, medium green: Bazzill Parakeet, and I don't know what the lightest green is.  I do know it's a Bazzill "Smoothie" Cardstock style.  For the trunks: the darkest brown: Bitter Chocolate, the light brown, I don't know.

Title: "Santa's Workshop" came from Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge as well.  I don't remember the size that I used.
