Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Today is Scrapbook layout day!

It just so happens I have 2 layouts to share with you today.  Before I do that I just want to remind you to stop over at Christmas with the Cricut and make sure you leave a comment so you can be registered for the drawing for the FREE prizes and see what amazing layout the girls have posted today.   Also stop by Monique's blog to see her scrapbook page.  If it's anything like her layouts from the past...it will be FABULOUS!!!

Here is the first Layout:

Paper: American Crafts Merry Mint Collection

Cardstock: Stampin' Up and Coredinations      

Page is 12x12 with 4 squares cut to 5.5"x5.5" and sewn together

Photo mats are 4.25"x4.25" and 4.25x6.25         

                     

Little boy, wagon and bows are all cuts from Everyday Paperdolls

Little boy 3.5"

wagon 3"

bows varied sizes all less than 1" (done on design studio) 

The santa hat is from paper dolls dress up.

The dog is from Everyday paper dolls he is cut at 4".  I also cut out a reindeer from paper doll dress up and cut off his antlers and attached them to the dog.  The nose is a little red button with red stickles on it.

I also applied flock to the dog by running him through my xyron machine and then sprinkled on the light brown flock, to give him a fuzzy feel and appearance.

 

Here is an up close of the zig sag sewing that holds the 4 blocks of cardstock together

The second layout is a much simpler layout:

Patterned paper:  Stampin' Up Christmas Cocoa

Cardstock : SU! real red, old olive and soft suede

Snowflakes are cut from the Winter Woodland cartridge @ 2.5"

I applied a coat of the White SU! Shimmer paint then added flat back pearls and rhinestones

Holly Leave is also from the Winter Woodland cartridge and is cut  @ 2", embossed with the cuttlebug swiss dots folder and distressed with Tim Holtz walnut stain distressing ink.

This reindeer is also from the Winter Woodland cartridge and is cut  @ 5" on SU! kraft cardstock and covered with a coat of SU! champagne shimmer paint (LOVE this stuff!!)  It is also inked around all the edges of the cardstock, even though it's hard to see on the page on the left.  There are also snowflakes stamped with real red ink on the background paper.  You just can not see it in the photos.  :(

Ribbon is from SU! (it is retired, but you can still order it from the clearance rack online through my website) it's called Alpine ribbon, you can see it here 

Well that's it for layouts!  I hope you enjoyed today's projects and if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me: ferg@new.rr.com

Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving!
