Remember December- New Issue at PI

Hello!  Happiest of December wishes to you!  

We are kicking off this month with a new issue- Remember December on the Paper Issues blog.
I hope you are inspired and take the time to play along after your cards are sent and the cookies are baked!
Here's my layout with this super cute picture of my littlest reindeer when he was two at his Christmas concert!  I used Illustrated Faith Christmas and Bella Blvd's Holly Jolly Christmas.

The background is the holly branches cut file is from Just Nick Studio and the pops of red are this gorgeous Sweater Weather paper by Bella Blvd. I wanted the white on white look and added white stitching to the branches.  The border paper is by Illustrated Faith and I love the bold black with a look of snow balls on it!

I added ephemera from the bits pack of Illustrated Faith's Christmas and the cardstock stickers from Holly Jolly and IF's Christmas. 

Aren't these bits and pieces from Illustrated Faith's CHRISTmas line just too cute?!  I love the little reindeer and how it works with my photo of Ryan.

 I added my date and journaling to the side (the only long space I had available without a cut file layer on it!)

 I love the white on white detail from the cut file and the ephemera pieces!  It makes me think of snowy branches on our trees here!

Thank you for joining us at Paper Issues with our new issue!  We hope you will document something about December, holidays, family traditions, etc... and post it to the challenge album!

Snow in Love

Today we are on the Paper Issues blog showing off the newest Bella Blvd and Illustrated Faith releases!  They are truly versatile and can be used for more than one theme!
I used two Illustrated Faith collections for my project: Bright and Brave and You Are Loved.

I love that I could make a winter page with products that were not winter specific! 

The You are Loved collection bits worked well with my title and I loved the banner bits/die cut pieces from the November swag bag and You Are Loved sticker sheet.

I loved all of the tabbies that were included in this month's swag bag.  The Bright and Brave tabbies had the snowflake looking one which matched the papers and I loved it for this snowy LO.

My fave alpha stamps are showing off way in the back of this photo.  Get these Homespun alphas for the handcut letter look.  I stamped these on cardstock and quickly fussy-cut them out.  I love how it turned out!

Layers of gorgeous prints!  I adore this Bright and Brave side B "Typed" paper that looks like colorful snowflakes. Get these pretty papers now in the shop!  They have the mixed media look on some of them like my background "The Heavens" paper.  It makes for a quick layout when you don't have to wait for paint splatters to dry!

Thanks for checking out our product spotlight on all of the new Bella Blvd & Illustrated Faith collections!

Another NSD weekend in the books! This layout features cut files from The Cut Shoppe by Ashley Horton. These were in the same set and I altered them to create my title. 

I used gelatos to color some of the paper and cut file words. Speaking of paper, I adore the She Blooms paper and enamel hearts from Illustrated Faith/Bella Blvd.

I loved this photo of my husband and I in Hawaii. It coordinated well with fun floral paper! Check out Paper Issues for the supplies and cut files from The Cut Shoppe. Thanks for taking a peek!
