'Tis the Season Layouts My Way!

Today I am showing you the layouts that I created with the 'Tis the Season Work
shop.  Our kits come with easy to follow instructions that give you great layouts for your pictures. I usually choose to add my own touch. This because there is a failure to follow instructions in my DNA. I do that with cooking recipes also!! Just saying I have a problem with being told what to do. 

My YouTube video show you how I went about creating my pages.

Here are the layouts:

Building a Fireplace for a Scrapbook Layout.

Here is the fireplace I created using texture paste and re-inkers to color it. I decorated it with stockings cut from a PML card from the 'Tis the Season kit. The mantle was cut from a wood paper from my stash. The fire was created from the You Are Here Cricut cartridge and colored and blended with our Water color pencils and blender pen. The plastic stencil was cut from the Artbooking cartridge using stencil sheets we just started carrying. I am having fun with that!

I made a video to show you how I created my warm a cozy addition to a Christmas scrapbook layout.

Here is how it looks on my layout:
