Dear Santa - Double layout by Adri

Hello, 49 and Market fans!
Welcome to the blog today.

I am sharing my first layout using the Christmas Spectacular 12×12 Collection. This layout is of my cute little grandson at a Christmas picnic. The joy on his little face is priceless. For this layout, I used the Christmas Spectacular Welcome paper and the ARToptions Holiday Wishes, The Village paper. The Welcome paper was cut in half for the sides and glued to cardstock and the Village paper was glued to the middle of the layout.

Here is my layout.

I added washi tape from the Christmas Spectacular Washi Tape Set to the edges of the Village paper. I layered the matted photos on pieces from the ephemera bits, ticket ephemera, and film strips.

To create the cluster between the two photos I used one of the pattern papers from the 6×8 paper collection and trimmed it to 6×4 inches. I embellished it with elements from the general laser cut sheets, chipboard words, ephemera bits, and chipboard sets. Most of the elements were raised with foam tape for dimension.

I added words from the 6×8 Classic Rub-on Transfer Set. Next, I made more clusters using chipboard shapes, tickets, and word strips. I added two large acetate holly leaves here and Christmas ornaments from General Laser Cut Elements.
