Under the Mistletoe

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a layout using a new FREE cut file! Ashley is offering a free cut file every week for the month of December. The cut file I used was released yesterday, and is called "Under the Mistletoe". 

I cut the title out from red patterned paper, and the mistletoe from green. I placed the title to the left of the mistletoe, and used pop dots on the mistletoe leaves. Next, I used the packaging technique to make a background for my photo in blues and greens.  I added layers for my photo, a few embellishments, and my layout was complete. I love this collection from Lawn Fawn! The blue with the traditional Christmas colors make me so happy. That wraps it up for today, thank you for stopping by!

Home for the Holidays

Hello and Happy Holidays! As soon as I saw the Home for Christmas cut file, I knew it was perfect for doing a layout about our new home. Even the name of the cut file is perfect for me! I took a picture of the outside of our house just for the layout, I wanted to celebrate that we are in our first home this Christmas! And since we're "home for the holidays", I used the Good Tidings cut file for my title. 

I cut out the white houses, and backed the windows with paper from Lawn Fawn. I only put adhesive on a few of the houses so they would pop up a bit and add dimension. I kept the embellishing simple to keep the focus on the houses. And no layout of mine is complete without some splatters of mist!

Thank you for letting me share with you today, I hope you all have the happiest of holiday seasons, and I will see you in the next year!
