Olaf - Paper Issues

Happy New Year.  

Things are changing around the Paper Issues house with a new Design team and a new way of doing things.  They have started a new challenge that is pretty exciting.  It is called Take 5.  You pick five things from a list of 15 different things.  You can even submit your projects (HERE) for a chance to win a gift certificate to the PI store!  

For my layout, I decided to use:  Cardstock, sequins, Snowman, the color blue and Flair.  

I used October Afternoon's Under the Tree that can be found HERE.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you will play along.  

Milk and Cookies - Paper Issues

Morning.  

We still leave out milk, cookies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer.  Do you?  

We actually have tons of traditions, this is only one of them.

  

I created this layout for the Pinspire Me challenge over at Paper Issues.  You can play along too.   

Here is a look at the mood board created for this challenge.  

I chose inspiration from the striped circle and touch of teal and red throughout the board.  

I used October Afternoon Under the Tree for this layout.

Cookie Bribery - Paper Issues

I decided I had time to play along with the Scraplift Sunday challenge over at Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook page.  Every Sunday, a layout is chosen as inspiration.  From that design, you can take what ever it is you want from it.  Wether it be the exact replica, the colors or even just a small piece.  Here is what I created with the lift.  

Here is the original layout by Michelle Gallant!

Do you see any resemblance?  I loved her layout.  I tried not to veer off too far from the original.  I  do wish I had that felt banner she used.  However, I was more than happy to use the October Afternoon Under the Tree Collection.
