Holly Jolly Paper Packet and Sticker Sheet

You should have arrived here from Brenda's blog.  

This is a circular hop, so you can start anywhere and make your way around it.

If you get lost you can find the full list of participants on Michelle's Blog.

I have been busy working on designing a scrapbook workshop using the Holly Jolly Paper Packet, Holly Jolly - Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cut set, silver embellishing thread, clear shimmer brush, Candy Apple ink & cardstock, Clover ink, 0.03 Black Journaling Pen, thin 3D foam tape and White Daisy Cardstock.  I used the Brushed Letters stamp set for the title. The inspiration for this layout came for the Make It From Your Heart Volume 3 book, Pattern 5.

So, often we get caught up in all the stuff at Christmas and really the 

most important thing is to BE PRESENT with those around you!

I have pictures of my Grandma and parents being PRESENT with my kids.  

My Grandma passed away this year and I know

 I treasure the times of her being Present with all of us.

I have inked around all of the edges of the papers with either Clover or Candy Apple ink using a sponge.

I have added silver embellishing thread behind the holly.
I have added clear shimmer brush to all of the holly as well.

Using a ruler I added the lines using the 0.03 Black Journaling Pen.

I will be posting more layouts in this workshop in the next week.  Just finishing them up and then making the guides for the workshop.
