Santa's Nice List - layout by Leslie Ashe

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!

Today I'm stopping by to share a layout I made
using the absolutely GORGEOUS Santa's List collection:

I love the look of the bright reds, bold blacks & stunning touches of white against the kraft background.

For my layout, as simple as it is...

I used a plate to trim a circle for my background, behind my photo:

here's the rest of my simple steps to complete this fast
and easy creation
-I trimmed patterned papers in different lengths, such as 2", 3", 4" and even 4.5".
-next I folded them over at the bottom (pinching together) and snipped a "v"
 creating a banner.
-I printed my in 5x7, in black & white and placed it on my page (
-before adhering, I simply played with my banners, figuring how to place
 them behind my photo in a fanning out pattern.
-next I added chipboard embellishments to my photo
-I tied twine in a button and added that above the embellishments
-I trimmed a strip of patterned paper "special delivery" and placed it along the right side
 of my layout.
-my final touch is placing the enamel dots on the polka dot pattern paper

I hope you've enjoyed my inspiration today!
Get yourself this collection - you will LOVE all the creations you'll be making
with every single piece. It's made me ready for Christmas early!

Have a wonderful day,
