a merry little layout

well hello everyone!

today i have something a little different to share! 

it's been a while since i made a layout, so i thought, let's do this!

and today, i'm also over on the create a smile blog sharing the layout too! :) 

and the bonus is, i used all four of the released stamp sets from create a smile! awesome!

ok, let's check out the layout: 

woo-hoo! 

so this moment i captured is from when i found my cat sleeping under our christmas tree this past christmas! it was so sweet!

so, i used the window from your view and stamped them 4 times to create a larger window panel! then i used my craft knife to cut out the center, and slipped the photo behind the window! fun, right? :)

there are a few sentiments from jungle fever around the window pane area i created! 

so FUN! i finished the layout with a bunch of tree wood veneers and SUPER old snowflake stickers i found buried in my drawer! :)

then i created a scene with the stamps to accent the title! the cat and blanket are from comfy and colored in with distress markers (as is the 'peace' sentiment below the window area) and the santa hat is from friends in the woods! :)

so i hope you like it! 

i had a BLAST making this christmas layout with non christmas stamps!

head on over to the create a smile stamps shop to get your stamps now! :)

enjoy!
