Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland!

TGIF!!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I know I am!  This time of year there are not enough hours in the day!!  Today I am sharing a fun layout I created with the December Flavors of the month kit at The ScrapRoom.  Here is the full kit: 

 Here is the Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland collection I used for my layout:

Here is my layout using the kit:

Supplies Used: Card stock: black- from the kit & white- from my stash; Patterned Paper: Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland- from the kit; ephemera: Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland; vellum embellishments: Heidi Swapp Winter Wonderland- from the kit; enamel dots: Recollections - from my stash

I just loved how this collection complimented not only Santa's outfit but my dear friend's sweet little granddaughter's Christmas dress!  I had a hard time finding adhesive to adhere the vellum embellishments so I backed them with white card stock from my stash and adhered them with adhesive.  While the look is more muted then a normal embellishment it is still rather muted and lends a fun look to your layout!  Make sure and head on over to the ScrapRoom blog to check out the other layouts the DT created with this fun collection!!  Happy creating!
