Christmas 2011

And these are the last two pages for 2011:

Crate Paper Snow Day paper and stickers; WRMK Sew Easy stitch piercer and black twine; Jenni Bowlin buttons; Queen&Co. pearls; Fancy Pants brads; unknown card stock and Christmas twine. The stitch piercer makes it so easy to pierce the paper that I keep forgetting how long it takes to actually back stitch the whole thing. Maybe I need a sewing machine...

October Afternoon Good Cheer papers and whimsies; Queen&Co. pearls; Eyelet Outlet candy canes and title letters; Tim Holtz/Ranger Glossy Accents and card stock; WRMK twine. This layout was inspired by Scrapbook Steals' Mid Week Mojo sketch Marigold #4:
