It is packed full of amazing products and as I sit here typing up my post I am realizing in my creative process (and extremely messy desk) I did not even dig into the wood veneer shapes or snowflakes! But not to worry they will go to great use in my next projects! Today I have started with a plain white 12x12 and pulled some papers from the October Afternoon Silent Night 8x8 paper pad that comes in the kit to build up some layers.
Next I used the stamp set Perfect Numbers that also comes in the kit to stamp out the number 25 along the left side of my layout in black ink.
I then matted my photo with one of the red and white striped papers from the kit and adhered it to a piece of black scrap paper from my stash that I stamped the word December all over in white ink! Next I cut up a few other pieces from the paper pad in different lengths and outlined them with my black pen. Once I had the papers outlined I decided to add an outline all around my layout.
I then started to adhere my papers down and added some of the Tim Holtz rub ones from the December Kit to my layout and cut a piece of the red & kraft ribbon in half and added it to my layout with my xyron sticker maker!
I love adding ribbon or trims to my layouts for just a little added texture! This ribbon is so pretty I made sure not to run it all across my layout but cut small sections and tucked it just under the photo! This is a great way to save your ribbon and trims! After my ribbon was adhered I added a few more embellishments and rub ons and my layout was complete!!
My layout was inspired by Dana's post on Sunday using the December Nesting Components Kit. I love how she stamped out the numbers on the bottom of her layout and I knew I had to use these numbers in my layout as well! You can see her full post and beautiful layout HERE.
