Now on to my project:
I decided to break away from my Christmas cards and make a layout for 2 pictures this Christmas. The background patterned paper and border is from Paper Studio Old World Winter Cardstock 12 x 12 in pad. The title- Christmas Memories, the bottom picture mat, the stocking sticker, red tag, and candy cane sticker are all from Simon Says Stamp. It's the December 2018 Card Kit and is currently out of stock. I wrote on the tag Christmas 2018 to remember the year later. The candy cane photo mat is from The Stamps of Life Hope & Joy 6 x 6 paper pad collection. The string of lights sticker, the journaling square, the Christmas tree sticker, and the gifts stickers are from Simple Stories Oh What Fun 12 x 12 Collection Kit that I bought from Scrapbook.com- see link. I found the Paper Studio paper pad at Hobby Lobby last night and decided to make a layout.  I have a 6 month old nephew that will be in a lot of pictures this Christmas I'm sure.

I will post an updated post of the layout once the pictures have been added so please be sure to become a follower as mentioned above! That's all I have to share today.
Be sure to hop over to Kim (http://www.pinkzebrapapercreations.com/) to see her awesome creation.

Here's our line up in case you get lost along the way.
