Merry & Bright

Over on the Papermaze Blog today you will see two new layouts I have made using the last of the December Papermaze Kit.  It's amazing value to have been able to make six layouts from one Kit. Here is the first of those two layouts and this time I have gone with a pink and silver theme.

This is Scarlett in her pj's proudly standing in front of the silver tree, decorated in pink, white and silver decorations. 

 

 

From the kit I used:
Berry Blush Bazzill cardstock
P13 light chipboard phrases
Simple Stories - No Peeking!


From my own stash I used:
Silver Idea-ology Tinsel Twine

glittery silver funky foam
Memory Box die
foam alpha stickers
Sizzix Shadow Script Christmas die set
Star gems
Doodlebug Designs Shape Sprinkles - Winter Hugs hearts
Nuvo Silver Moondust Glitter drops, Carnation Pink Crystal Drops and Chalk White Stone Drops.

 

 

Back with the last layout for Decemberm tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.
