A Christmas Layout

This layout has a few of the Dimensional Elements On Target circles. These Circles just make the layout.  They are really to use too.  First, decide which size you would like and punch it out from the backing.  Take the finishing files and file down any little tabs that were holding it onto the backing.  Next I took my finger dauber and inked it up with the Tulip ink and using little circles rubbed the chipboard circles to transfer the ink. Repeat this process. The more you do this the darker the ink will transfer.  I stamped my letters using the Posterboard Stamp set and Creme Brulee Ink and cut them out leaving a little white border around the letter.  I stamped some of the presents right onto the base pages and I also stamped some of them on extra cardstock and cut them out to layer them.  Added some ribbon and the layout was complete.

Amsterdam

These are more pictures from my travels to Europe two years ago.  Wow...time flies. When we were in Amsterdam, I found this BIG leaf that looked like the Maple Leaves we have in Canada only 10 times bigger.  It turned out it was a Sycamore leaf.  I just couldn't get over the size of it.  Anyways, if you do happen to travel to Amsterdam, I would recommend to go in the fall it is really beautiful there that time of year.

Love you Muches!

I just love the paper packet Topstitch.  The pinks and blues and browns are just so nice together! They also go very nice with my baby granddaughter's photo. I used the Martha Stewart Eyelet lace Punch around the Page for this layout.  These are really easy to use as Martha Stewart has it placed perfectly to go around a 12x12 page so everything ends up even.  You just punch the corners first then line up the border punch and finish punching the sides.  Wala you have a perfectly punched square border around your layout.
I also stamped flourishes on the letters before I cut them out, just to give them some extra texture.
