Merry & Bright

Merry & Bright    Hi friends, Leah Schaeffer with you all today and I'm just not ready to let the holidays go! Well, it's really more of a winter layout. I could have gone with a title that wasn't something more holiday except that I did want to use this picture of my littles on Christmas morning. So, it went together. It had been some time since I got to put so much into a layout, the design, pulling the layers apart to get ready to cut and to put together. I think it took probably 5 different days to get this thing made!      Can I say how amazing paper is? All you need is paper! Seriously. Ok, and glue. But this entire page is done with paper. The only embellishing I did was adding details to the die cuts with pen. Shading, texture, etc and inking all the cuts. Just gives a little something but other then that, no other embellishments.     Ready for the file list? There's a few today!  Skating Bear Couple Winter Critters Forest Critters Winter Dog Winter Cat Winter Cardinal Snowy Scene    Hope you enjoyed my creation today, so appreciative for you checking it out!
